Episode Synopsis

Hey hey, beautiful souls! Welcome to the very first episode of Stitches and Stories. I’m your host, Tonie Nakyria, and today I’m sharing my personal journey into the world of crafting. From discovering crocheting just a few months ago to finding it as a source of calm and focus in my life, this episode is all about why I craft and how it’s changed me. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter, a curious beginner, or someone who just loves a good story, this episode is for you. I’ll talk about my favorite projects (including the beanie I made for myself!), how crafting helps me manage my ADHD and anxiety, and why I started this podcast to connect with all of you. Plus, I’ll share a mindful practice for non-crafters, so everyone can join in the relaxation. Let’s stitch our stories together—press play and join me on this journey!
