242: How to Find a Hobby as an Adult (and why it even matters, lol)

September 03, 2024 Jess Massey

Raise your hand if when someone asks you what your hobbies are, there are straight crickets in your brain 😅

Your days are filled with getting your kids to school on time (preferably in matching shoes), spending a few minutes journaling to get your head on straight so you don’t yell at your toddler for sticking their arm in the peanut butter jar (again), organizing your appointments in your planner so you don’t miss anything important, going to work, making sure your family is fed a somewhat nutritious dinner, and getting everyone to bed so you can do it all again tomorrow – like what even is a hobby??? Lol

But what if I told you that spending 20-30 minutes a day practicing a hobby would make all of that day-to-day stuff feel a lot less stressful for you? Because it can!

Tune into this episode to hear:

  • The science behind the importance of playing as an adult (but like, not boring science, lol)

  • How having a hobby can make your life better (and your loved one’s lives better)

  • How to find a hobby when you have no clue what your hobby is
