In this heartfelt episode of Simply Hooked: A Crochet Podcast, I open up about my own journey with imposter syndrome as a crochet designer. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why would anyone choose my work when there are so many crochet patterns and makers out there?”—this conversation is for you.

I’ll share personal stories (including how one surprising trip to the frozen food aisle shifted my perspective!) and give you practical tips to overcome imposter syndrome in your crochet business.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn how to:

✨ Reframe negative thoughts and celebrate your unique creative strengths

✨ See the value of variety in a crowded handmade and crochet market

✨ Build confidence as a crochet designer and creative entrepreneur

✨ Remember that your creativity matters—someone is waiting for what only you can create

Whether you’re a crochet pattern designer, handmade business owner, or creative entrepreneur, this episode will encourage you to embrace your voice, trust your work, and step boldly into your creative calling.
