Shownotes
In a world that tells us to hustle harder and turn every passion into a business, this episode is your gentle permission slip to just create.
Kathleen shares how hand embroidery helped her reconnect with herself during early motherhood — and how the pressure to “make something of it” almost stole the joy. This one is personal, honest, and a must-listen if you’ve ever felt like your art isn’t valid unless it earns income.
You’ll hear about:
- Why it’s okay to create just because
- How hustle culture sneaks into our hobbies
- The story of how Kathleen’s embroidery journey began
- Why honoring your creativity is powerful, even if no one sees it
- A message for the mamas doing something just for themselves
Takeaway: You don’t owe anyone an explanation for what brings you joy. Your art matters, even if it never becomes a business.
