What if the secret to feeling calmer, more focused, and less anxious wasn’t another app… but your knitting needles?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about dopamine—and how knitting can give your brain the feel-good reward it craves without the crash.

Inside this episode:

  • Why knitting is a healthy way to trigger dopamine (and how it compares to social media)
  • What happens in your brain when you knit
  • A simple way to use knitting as part of your morning or evening routine
  • My personal shift from nighttime scrolling to knitting—and why it changed everything
