Queenager Hobbies & Cocktails
Send us Fan MailThis week on the Between Batches Podcast, we’re embracing our full “queenager” era with a Cherry Pie Cocktail in hand and absolutely zero shame about our growing list of grandma hobbies. From baking sourdough and canning vegetables to gardening, football obsessions, exercising, and collecting hobbies like emotional support projects… we’re talking about all of it.Why do these slower, cozier hobbies feel almost rebellious in today’s hustle culture? Why do women suddenly wake up one day needing bird feeders, a Dutch oven, and twelve different kinds of tomato plants? And why does healing sometimes look less like grinding harder and more like making homemade jam while watching football?We dive into the chaos, comfort, and comedy of aging into ourselves, finding joy in simple things, and realizing maybe our grandmas were onto something all along.So grab a cocktail, your current hyper-fixation hobby, and come hang out with us Between Batches. 💕
