March 13, 2024 5 // Are You Feeling Completely Overwhelmed? This is the #1 Way to Combat Overwhelm Paralysis
Hey friend,
Are you feeling completely overwhelmed? I know exactly what that feels like and sometimes it gets so bad that I freeze and it becomes overwhelm paralysis.
For me, overwhelm is the cause of most of my anxiety. That is, until I started my stop, drop, and journal process which is what I will be sharing with you today!
I have lots of passion behind journaling and how important it is for mental health. If you give this method a chance, my hope is that it will prevent any negative self talk that always follows overwhelm paralysis.

February 28, 2024 3 // Regain Control of Your Mental Health: Get From Stressed and Overwhelmed to Relaxed and Free in 11 Simple Steps
Hey! I am so excited to share today's episode with you because it's our first episode on implementation. I'm here to share the 11 steps I took to regain control of my mental health and these are all things you can start doing in your own life. Most of them are very simple and easy to implement and I hope they help you start feeling more like yourself again.
Last year I completely burnt myself out and it resulted in 7 months of radical self care, where I took a huge step back to reprioritize my life. Seven months ago I was beyond stressed and overwhelmed and today I feel MUCH more relaxed and I’ve started to see life from a new perspective.
This is basically a giant overview of what we will cover in all episodes to come. It is the entire mission behind the Crocheting Through Emotions podcast; to get you from stressed and overwhelmed to feeling more in control of your mental health.
You’re gonna want to take notes for this one!
Your friend,
Sigoni

** TOP 2% GLOBALLY RANKED PODCAST **

Are you overwhelmed by the weight of everything you have to carry? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and the things that used to make you feel like you? Have you ever wondered why you can't seem to slow down, why you're always questioning yourself, or why, no matter how much you do, you still feel like you're not enough?

Maybe you're tired of striving to be the woman you think you're supposed to be—and you're ready to feel at home in yourself again.

Welcome to Crocheting Through Emotions.

This podcast is here to help you quiet the noise so you can reconnect with yourself, understand what shaped you, and discover who you were created to be. It's a space for women who are ready to stop living on autopilot and start paying attention to what's happening beneath the surface.

I'm Sigoni—a mom, wife, and recovering anxious perfectionist who spent years believing I was the problem.

I tried to fix myself with self-help books, productivity systems, time-management strategies, and endless attempts to become a better version of myself. I got sucked into hustle culture and pushed through exhaustion instead of listening to what I actually needed. I tried to change the parts of me I thought weren't good enough.

And eventually, I broke down.

I sank into yet another depression that left me feeling ungrateful for all of the things I did have.

That was when I realized I didn't need another strategy for becoming someone else. I needed to understand why I had become so disconnected from myself in the first place.

I began looking deeper at the experiences that shaped me, the lies I'd come to believe about myself, and the expectations I was carrying. I even spent thousands of dollars learning everything I could about mental health.

But most importantly, I realized I needed something deeper.

I started learning about who God is and who He says I am.

I discovered that I wasn't created to spend my life striving to fit into a box that was never made for me. I was created with intention and purpose, and the more I understood who God created me to be, the more I began to understand myself.

Now, this podcast is a space for you to do that same kind of exploring.

You'll learn to slow down and pay attention to what's really going on beneath the surface. We'll untangle the thoughts, beliefs, and experiences that may be shaping the way you see yourself. We'll talk about caring for yourself without guilt, reconnecting with your creativity, understanding your emotions, and building a deeper relationship with God.

But I'm not going to pretend I have all the answers.

If you're new to Christianity—or maybe it's something you've never really been interested in talking about—I get it. I'm a baby Christian, learning right alongside you, and I want to share how transformational this journey has been for me.

You don't have to keep pushing, performing, and trying to become someone you're not.

You can escape the busyness that the world defines as normal. You can get curious about who you are. You can begin to understand your story—and discover who God created you to be.

So if you're ready to quiet the noise, reconnect with yourself, find deeper peace, and stop striving to be everything you think you're "supposed" to be, you're in the right place.

Get cozy, grab your crochet project, and put in your earbuds.

Together, we'll learn to stop striving and start abiding.
