Hobbies might sound like a luxury, but they’re actually one of the most powerful tools we have for wellbeing, identity, and joy.

So why is it so hard to start them... and stick with them?

In this episode, we reflect on our own hobbies (the wholesome, the niche, the chaotic), why we often fall out of love with them, and how to reignite those creative sparks as adults.

We explore the psychology of hobbies through the lens of Self-Determination Theory, and chat about how autonomy, competence and connection are key to feeling truly fulfilled in what we do outside of work.

Whether you're deep in your hobby era or struggling to find that thing that lights you up, this episode is your gentle nudge to start, restart, or try something new without the pressure of being “good” at it.

Come for the hobby chat, stay for the encouragement to follow your joy 💫
