Reimagining Hobbies with Shannon Peter

Reimagine It All

In this week's episode, we’re talking about hobbies! I’m joined by the wonderful Shannon Peter, an award-winning beauty editor and content expert, who has written for the UK's biggest publications and worked with some of the industry's most seminal beauty brands.

As always we come to these episodes armed with one word and the willingness to see what comes. Shannon, also known as one of my best friends, is forever sewing and quilting up a treat; so I knew I had to have her on for this episode.

I see hobbies as being a vital ingredient in a full life. A part of how we can play and add some light-hearted joy to our lives without the pressure of it needing to have an intention or purpose beyond it feeling good to do. In this episode, Shannon and I speak about what hobbies give us, the millennial curse of the side hustle, infantilising hobbies, gendered assumptions, what we're making at the moment, the importance of owning how you value spending your time and more.
