In this episode, I chat with Felicia Perry, a fellow Knitting Mama and member of our community. We delve into the world of knitting and how it can serve as a powerful tool for stress relief and self-care amidst the chaos of motherhood.

Felicia and I explore the challenges that modern moms face, from the constant pull of social media to the never-ending responsibilities of raising kids. We discuss how knitting offers a peaceful escape, helping us slow down and focus on something meaningful instead of just scrolling through our phones.

Join us as we share insights on the calming benefits of knitting, tips for integrating it into a busy schedule, and how it helps us reconnect with ourselves. Plus, Felicia reveals her favorite patterns and designers, offering inspiration for your next project.

Happy Knitting, mamas! Let’s make some magic with those needles. 🌟

Today we are diving a little deeper into this feeling of guilt that we battle when we actually do take the time for ourselves and things we love.

That feeling when you are sort of trying to do this self care thing but your mind is just else where and it’s not having the desired effect at all…and you end up just scratching the idea altogether 🙈

Let’s explore why we feel that way and how we can use some simple shifts in our mindset to feel much better about it. And also how we actually find the time to work this self care or creative time into our lives.

Download your free workbook to make back hours of time in your week and get back to being creative now!

I cannot wait to continue the conversation about this topic with you on Instagram.
