It was almost 25 years ago that I did something that pushed me out of my comfort zone.
I picked up a hobby—my first real one.
I wasn’t looking for transformation. I just wanted something fun. Something that had nothing to do with work or caretaking.
Something that was just… mine.
Some of you may know the story. Some of you may not.
Either way, I’m sharing it this week on the podcast—because I truly believe we all need at least one thing in our lives that we do purely for joy.
No outcome. No performance. No gold stars. Just joy.
In this episode of The Overthinker’s Guide to Joy, I’m talking about how finding a hobby (in my case a sport) changed my life… and I don’t say that lightly.
I’m not claiming that all hobbies are life-changing. But they can change how you feel in your life—and to me, that is everything.
You can listen to the episode here.
If you’ve ever felt like hobbies were for “other people” (or that your time belongs to everyone but you), this episode is for you.
xo,
Jackie
P.S. Already have a hobby you love? Hit reply and tell me—I love hearing about what brings people joy. But if you’re struggling to find “your thing,” hit reply and let’s chat.
