In this episode, Tam shares her misadventures in punch needling, a craft she thought would be her new favorite.  However, it may end up leaving her unpunched, poked, and maybe even a little bruised(emotionally, of course).  This episode is a reminder that not every hobby is a natural fit. But, sometimes, one crafter's chaos is another crafter's creative gold.

Erin & Tam chat with Tami Hackbarth from the 100% Guilt-Free Self-Care Podcast. Together, they explore what it means to reclaim self-care so you have the energy to build the life you want. Tami reminds us that self-care isn’t selfish.
