Motherhood is beautiful—but it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in anxious thoughts, weighed down by perfectionism, or craving a slower, more intentional way of living, you are not alone.
Crocheting Through Emotions is a cozy podcast for moms who want to improve their mental health, reduce anxiety, and renew their mindset in everyday life. Each episode offers practical tools and gentle encouragement for overcoming overwhelm, managing stress, and shifting thought patterns.
Here, you’ll discover how creativity—like crochet, journaling, and reading—can become powerful outlets for emotional healing, self-expression, and stress relief. Together, we’ll explore how small, simple steps create big transformation: letting go of perfectionism, finding joy in the present, and learning to live with more peace and clarity.
Hi, friend! I’m Sigoni; military spouse, mom of 3, and recovering anxious perfectionist. For years I tried everything - self help books, productivity hacks, and organization systems while juggling family, home, and business. But behind the scenes, I was battling overwhelm, anxiety, depression, and burnout. My body was present, but my mind was always somewhere else.
It wasn’t until I stopped chasing what worked for everyone else and started looking inward that things began to change. I learned how to spot triggers, manage my anxiety, let go of perfectionism, and reconnect with God - all while using crochet and other hobbies to stay grounded, practice mindfulness, and relieve stress.
Now, life isn’t perfect (and never will be), but I finally feel less stressed, more calm, and living each moment in the present. On Crocheting Through Emotions, you will learn how to regain control of your mental health so you can live a slower, simpler life filled with curiosity, compassion, and confidence.
If you are tired of going through the motions, drowning in stress, and feeling paralyzed by overwhelm, this is the podcast for you.
Grab your yarn, or just a quiet moment for yourself. It’s time to stop going through the motions and start crocheting through those emotions - one stitch at a time.

11 // How Crochet Heals the Mind: The Science Behind Why It’s Good for Your Brain, Anxiety, and Mood
If you’ve ever picked up your crochet hook and instantly felt calmer, you’re not imagining it. Crochet isn’t just a creative hobby — it’s a powerful form of self-care that can calm anxiety, ease depression, reduce stress, and even support your brain health.
Yes, you heard that right!
It’s one of those rare activities that helps your mind, body, and soul all at once — and science is finally starting to explain why.
Just a heads up, I did a LOT of research when preparing for this episode so if I sound all scientific-y, that’s why.
In today’s episode, I’m going to share studies that prove that crochet and other crafts are good for your brain and how it can relieve stress, anxiety, and even depression.
