Episode 5: It’s Not Just a Hobby — It’s Healing
Summary
Have you ever felt guilty for spending time on something creative — especially when there’s laundry to do or emails to answer? In this heart-centered episode, Kathleen reframes the idea of creativity as “just a hobby” and explores how hand embroidery became her personal form of self-care.
This episode is a permission slip for any mama who’s ever downplayed her art, pushed it aside, or felt selfish for needing something just for herself.
You’ll hear about:
Why creativity is a form of self-care
The guilt moms often feel when we make time to create
Kathleen’s story of rediscovering art through embroidery
How small creative acts can make a big emotional impact
A reminder that joy doesn’t need to be productive
Takeaway: You don’t have to monetize your creativity or prove its worth. If it brings you peace, it already matters.
