I took a 6-month break from the podcast… and today I’m sharing the real reason why. In this comeback episode, I’m walking you through what life looked like behind the scenes, what I learned during that pause, and the new clear focus for Knit Your Stress Away moving forward.

If you’ve been overwhelmed, overstimulated, and stuck in that “scrolling at 10pm but feeling worse” cycle… you’re in the right place.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

• Why I stepped away for six months (and why I have zero guilt about it)
• What it looked like supporting my oldest through college prep + homeschooling
• The clarity I gained about what this podcast is really about
• Who this show is for (and who it’s not for)
• Why knitting isn’t “just a hobby”… it’s a real stress-relief tool
• What to expect going forward (new schedule + episode style)
• The question that’s guiding every episode from here on out: “How does this help you knit instead of scroll?”

What’s Different Now

This podcast is officially laser-focused on helping busy moms:

✅ calm their nervous system

✅ put their phone down without relying on willpower

✅ build a knitting habit that actually fits real life

✅ create small pockets of peace (even if it’s just 20 minutes)

Whether you’re brand new to knitting or coming back to it after years… I’ve got you.
