** TOP 2% PODCAST GLOBALLY **

Motherhood is beautiful—but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in anxious thoughts, weighed down by perfectionism, or craving a slower, more intentional way of living, you are not alone.

Crocheting Through Emotions is a cozy podcast for moms who want to improve their mental health, reduce anxiety, and renew their mindset in everyday life. Each episode offers practical tools and gentle encouragement for overcoming overwhelm, managing stress, and shifting thought patterns.

Here, you’ll discover how creativity—like crochet, journaling, and reading—can become powerful outlets for emotional healing, self-expression, and stress relief. Together, we’ll explore how small, simple steps create big transformation: letting go of perfectionism, finding joy in the present, and learning to live with more peace and clarity.

Hi, friend! I'm Sigoni; military spouse, mom of 3, and recovering anxious perfectionist. For years I tried everything - self help books, productivity hacks, and organization systems while juggling family, home, and business. But behind the scenes, I was battling overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and burnout. My body was present, but my mind was always somewhere else.

It wasn't until I stopped chasing what worked for everyone else and started looking inward that things began to change. I learned how to spot triggers, manage my anxiety, let go of perfectionism, and reconnect with God - all while using crochet and other hobbies to stay grounded, practice mindfulness, and relieve stress.

Now, life isn't perfect (and never will be), but I finally feel less stressed, more calm, and living each moment in the present. On Crocheting Through Emotions, you will learn how to regain control of your mental health so you can live a slower, simpler life filled with curiosity, compassion, and confidence.

If you are tired of going through the motions, drowning in stress, and feeling paralyzed by overwhelm, this is the podcast for you.

Grab your yarn, or just a quiet moment for yourself. It’s time to stop going through the motions and start crocheting through those emotions - one stitch at a time.

    5 // Are You Feeling Completely Overwhelmed? This is the #1 Way to Combat Overwhelm Paralysis
    Mar 13 2024

    Hey friend,

    Are you feeling completely overwhelmed? I know exactly what that feels like and sometimes it gets so bad that I freeze and it becomes overwhelm paralysis.

    For me, overwhelm is the cause of most of my anxiety. That is, until I started my stop, drop, and journal process which is what I will be sharing with you today!

    I have lots of passion behind journaling and how important it is for mental health. If you give this method a chance, my hope is that it will prevent any negative self talk that always follows overwhelm paralysis.

    Using crochet to process my emotions was the first major step I took to getting back in the drivers seat of my mental health. We’ll talk about what emotion processing is and why it’s important, how I personally started crocheting through my emotions, and how you can start to do the same.
