In this episode of Made to Mother, we’re joined by the lovely Andi Smiley to dive into a topic that often gets overlooked in motherhood: hobbies. A few weeks ago, we chatted about side hustles and the value of extra income—but today, we’re shifting gears and talking about the things we do just for joy.
Andi opens up about how podcasting started as a fun creative outlet for her—a hobby that brought life and excitement into her everyday routine. But now that it’s grown into a side hustle, she’s had to find a new hobby just for herself. We explore why that kind of intentional play is so important, and how having a hobby can actually make you a more present, fulfilled, and joyful mom.
From painting to gardening to reading (yes, reading counts!), this episode is all about making space for the things that light you up—not because they’re productive, but because they matter.
🎧 This one’s for every mom who needs permission to play again.
