Description

Do you ever feel guilty spending time on your business? If you have ever wondered if pursuing a creative dream is selfish, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Simply Hooked, I share my personal journey of questioning whether my work truly mattered. We dismantle the myth that art is "indulgent" and explore why your crochet business is actually an act of service.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The "Selfish" Myth: Why creativity is generosity, not an indulgence.

  • Mental Health: How the rhythm of stitches supports your well-being (and makes you a better parent/person).

  • The Ripple Effect: How your business fuels the economy and inspires other makers.

  • Creating Legacy: Why your patterns and products are future heirlooms, not just "stuff."

Your work matters more than you realize. Tune in to find out why your crochet business is worth celebrating.
