In this episode of Simply Hooked: A Crochet Podcast, I dive into the science behind crochet and mental health—why this simple, creative act is so much more than just making something beautiful.

You’ll discover how crochet can:
✨ Reduce stress and calm your nervous system
✨ Improve focus, mindfulness, and overall mental clarity
✨ Boost happiness by releasing feel-good brain chemicals
✨ Support long-term cognitive health through creative engagement
✨ Foster community and connection while easing loneliness

Along with the science-backed benefits, I share my personal stories of how crochet became a tool for peace and grounding in my own life—and practical tips for fitting crochet into a busy schedule. Plus, I’ll suggest self-care projects that are quick, soothing, and perfect for mindful making.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned maker, this episode will inspire you to pick up your hook not just for fun—but for your mental health and well-being.
