    Why Doing Social Hobbies Together Matters More Than We Think

    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. @theartofhobbyness www.artofhobbyness.com

    Walking Counts as a Hobby

    Walking doesn’t have to be about steps, speed, or self-improvement to count. Erin & Tam talk about why walking deserves hobby status for millennial moms craving low-pressure self-care. Tam shares how perfectionism made it hard to enjoy walking at first, and how habit stacking, like podcasts or a walking buddy, helped reframe it as care instead of a task. Slow, imperfect walks still count. @theartofhobbyness www.artofhobbyness.com
