    Description

    Hello, Knitting Mamas! Today’s episode is particularly close to my heart, as I share the personal lessons I learned when I picked up my knitting needles again in 2020 after more than 20 years.
     
    In this episode, you’ll discover:
    The unexpected joy of circular knitting needles
    Small projects vs. larger ones and which one I would recommend
    Navigating material choices and surprising realizations 

    The yarn I mention in this episode is called Hue & Me by Lionbrand and can be purchased here.
     
    Knitting is for everyone: Whether you’re revisiting knitting after years or just starting, this episode aims to simplify the craft and encourage you to dive in.
     
    Let’s connect and knit together: Join our Mindful Knitting Facebook community and mark your calendars for the Knit + Chill Circle on the 27th. It’s like a cozy gathering, but with knitting, and it’s happening right inside our community.

And do you feel like there is no way you can add anything else to your plate - especially something for yourself? In this podcast you will find ideas and solutions to set you free from mom-guilt about taking time for yourself, the ever exhausting demand to do more and never truly living in the moment. My mission is to equip you to get more rest + self-care through mindful knitting, natural health solutions, and a simple morning routine. If you are ready to say YES to stress relief, self-care and creating a knitting practice that centers you - you’re in the right place. Hey, I’m Nadine. A mom, wife and happy knitter. For over 15 years as a mom I have been trying to figure out how to feel enough. To rest without guilt and to truly believe that I am doing good enough. I tried to find fulfillment by chasing perfection on every level, only to realize that it’s an impossible standard to live by and the sure way to mama burn out and unhappiness. I finally realized that if I wanted to feel enough and rest without feeling guilty, I needed to focus on progress, not perfection. I needed to understand that caring for MYSELF first is the ticket to be the best mama and wife I can be. I created some simple routines with natural health solutions and picked up the most cozy and relaxing rituals that made me feel whole and happy. And I am here to share them with you so you can do the same. If you’re ready to finally take control of your stress, learn to use simple natural self care tools, relax and recharge in a way that YOU love and sleep better, this podcast is for you! Take a deep breath and whip out those knitting needles - it’s time to ditch the mom-stress and live life on your terms!
