Simply Hooked: A Crochet Podcast

Before Baby #2: Motherhood, Creativity & Questions for Makers | Crochet Podcast for Moms & Creative Entrepreneurs


Listen Later

This episode isn’t polished—it’s personal. I’m just days away from welcoming our second baby, and I’m sitting with so many questions about motherhood, creativity, and identity—and how to carry it all with grace.

From the transition of loving two children to the invisible pressure of postpartum body image… from guilt over time and attention to wondering when it’s okay to return to my crochet business… this is a raw, honest reflection on the beauty and tension of what’s to come.

This isn’t an episode full of answers—it’s full of vulnerable questions I hope you’ll respond to. Because we weren’t meant to do this alone.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

● The emotional transition from one child to two

● How moms balance creativity, handmade businesses, and family life

● Honest reflections on postpartum body image and identity

● Encouragement for moms building a crochet or handmade business while raising little ones

Whether you’re deep in motherhood, preparing for a new season, or simply wondering how to keep showing up for your dreams with kids underfoot, this conversation is a reminder: you’re not alone, and you were made for this.
