EP #62 From overwhelmed to creative - the mindset shift you need
Hey mamas, let’s talk about something we all struggle with: the constant feeling of overwhelm. It’s easy to get caught up in everything—family, work, and life—but where does that leave you? Often, it leaves us feeling guilty for even thinking about taking time for ourselves. But what if I told you that taking time for yourself isn’t selfish, but actually essential for your wellbeing?
In my latest podcast episode, I dive into the mindset shift that helps moms like us move from feeling overwhelmed and guilty to embracing creativity and joy. I talk about why having time to do something you love is so important and how a creative outlet—like knitting—can bring the calm and stress relief you’ve been craving.
If you’ve tried meditation or yoga and it didn’t quite click for you, knitting might just be the perfect fit. It’s easy to learn, portable, and can be done anywhere. And the best part? It’s calming and productive at the same time, which is exactly what we need when life feels overwhelming.
This mindset shift isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary if we want to avoid burnout and resentment in the long run. You deserve time to do something that lights you up, mama, and I’m here to help you get there.
