Are We Becoming Our Grandmas? Granny Hobbies, Gen X, and the Power of Nostalgia

Are we becoming our grandmas — or is Gen X just remembering something we forgot?In this episode of Fifteen Minutes with Amy and Faith, we talk about the rise of “granny hobbies” like crochet, gardening, baking, and puzzles — and why so many of us are suddenly choosing yarn over scrolling.But this conversation doesn’t stay light. Gen X is the bridge generation. We grew up with analog childhoods and now live fully digital adult lives. We remember slower afternoons, fewer notifications, and homes shaped by women whose hands were always creating something steady and warm.What we once brushed off as ordinary now feels meaningful.This episode shifts from hobbies to nostalgia — from what we’re making now to what our mothers and grandmothers quietly built before us. We used to roll our eyes. Now we’re rolling yarn.And maybe that’s the power of nostalgia.
