** TOP 2% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST ** Welcome to Crocheting Through Emotions — a podcast for overwhelmed women who are tired of striving, overthinking, and feeling like they're never doing enough. Here, we'll talk about understanding ourselves, caring for our emotional well-being, and making space for guilt-free creativity. We'll also explore what the Bible actually says about the things we struggle with, from anxiety and discouragement to the questions we wrestle with in everyday life. I'm so glad you're here! I'm Sigoni — boy mom, crochet obsessed, and recovering anxious perfectionist. Have you ever wondered why, no matter how hard you try, you still feel like you're falling short? For much of my life, I've struggled with anxiety, depression, and unresolved trauma. I always felt behind in life, like I was the only one who couldn’t get it together, the only one who felt overwhelmed by everyday life, and no matter how hard I tried, I always felt like I was failing.  Between my life experiences and the things I'd been told by others, I became deeply critical of myself. I genuinely thought something was wrong with me, and if I could just fix myself, maybe I'd finally feel better. When I was a single mom navigating the aftermath of an abusive relationship, I discovered crochet. What started as a creative outlet became a lifeline. It gave me something to focus on when my mind wouldn't slow down, brought excitement and curiosity back into my life, and helped me reconnect with the creative person I used to be, that I didn’t even realize was missing. Who knew a hobby could do all that? Crochet helped me find moments of calm, but I still struggled with overwhelming anxiety and shame and self loathing. And after reading a particular book, I realized I needed to understand why I'd become so disconnected from myself in the first place. I needed to understand the beliefs I'd carried, the experiences that shaped how I saw myself, and why I was constantly striving to be more and do more. So I started learning about how the mind works, how stress impacts our nervous system, and what it really means to care for ourselves. I discovered how creativity, especially crochet, could help me slow down, process emotions, and reconnect with myself. And while I learned a lot about mental health and stress and anxiety and how it affects the body… something was still missing. I realized that understanding myself wasn't just about figuring out what was wrong with me or learning how to manage my emotions. It was also about discovering who God is and who He created me to be. I hadn't grown up in a Christian family, and for a long time, I wasn't even sure a relationship with God was possible for me. I had so much anxiety around it all. But as I started seeking answers and learning who God really is and what the Bible actually says, everything began to change. I found a kind of peace I hadn't found anywhere else, and I began to see that I didn't have to spend my life striving to become someone I was never meant to be. And that's what Crocheting Through Emotions is all about. Think of this as a crochet-and-chit-chat kind of podcast. We'll explore self-awareness, understanding yourself, and practical ways to care for our minds and bodies. We'll talk about creativity, letting go of perfectionism, and making space for rest and joy in a world that constantly tells us to do more. And we'll talk about biblical truth, too, because if you’re anything like me - you may have anxiety around why you were created, who God is, what you’re purpose is. And if you are someone like me who didn’t grow up in a christian family or you had bad experiences that shaped the way you view God, it’s hard to ask these questions. And it usually just sits in the back of your mind weighing you down. So my goal is to share stories from the bible that you may not have heard before. True stories that will make you feel seen, stories that talk about anxiet
