The Art of Hobbyness

Tam tries organization as a hobby during a season of change and finds it’s about more than bins and labels. We unpack the “new year, new me” urge to reset, borrowing systems from friends, and how cleaning out a drawer can sometimes feel like cleaning out your life.

You started the hobby. You loved the hobby. You stopped the hobby. Now what? Erin & Tam unpack the guilt that can follow abandoned hobbies and explore why millennial moms feel pressure to turn every interest into a long-term identity, and how releasing a hobby can be just as meaningful as starting one.

Erin & Tam talk about how social hobbies, like walking, games, and creative groups, support well-being and even longevity, especially during seasons of motherhood that can feel isolating. We explore why doing something together can feel safer than trying to “make friends,” and how small, consistent connections can quietly improve our health and sense of self.

Snow days shrink the world and soften expectations but why do we only allow that when the weather forces it? Erin & Tam talk about using hobbies to pass the time when you’re snowed in and how to carry that same low-pressure, cozy energy into regular life. No productivity required.
