About this listen
When was the last time you did something just because you enjoyed it?
In this episode of After the Drop Off, we’re unpacking hobbies in motherhood — why they disappear, why we feel guilty having them, and whether scrolling Instagram counts as one (asking for a friend).
We talk about:
- Losing your identity after having kids
- The mental load and why hobbies feel indulgent
- The difference between self-care and actual hobbies
- Why some mums “bounce back” into interests and others don’t
- The pressure to be productive even in our downtime
- Whether exercise counts as a hobby or just survival
If you’ve ever answered “what do you do for fun?” with a blank stare, this one is for you.
Because somewhere between daycare drop-off, school WhatsApp chats and cutting crusts off sandwiches, we forgot that we’re allowed to be interesting too.
This episode is for the mums who:
- Used to have passions
- Want something that feels like theirs again
- Or are just too tired to even know what they like anymore
It’s honest. It’s funny. It’s mildly confronting. And it might just make you rethink what fills your cup.
🎧 Listen now and tell us — do you actually have a hobby?
