Ep. 5 Reflecting on: Hobbies

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

In this episode, we talk about how we get into hobbies, how we fall out of them, and what it takes to reignite those sparks as adults. We explore the psychology behind why hobbies matter, using Self-Determination Theory as a framework to explain how autonomy, competence and connection help us thrive.

From wholesome crafts to chaotic side quests, we share our own experiences and offer gentle encouragement to find (or return to) the things that bring you joy, even if you’re not “good” at them.
