Healing Through Craft 🧶 Fiber Arts, the Brain 🧠 + Why Making Heals | Flock Fiber Festival Flock Talk

Описание: What actually happens in our brains when we knit or crochet—especially when we’re carrying something heavy? This Flock Fiber Festival Flock Talk with Hailey Bailey of Made by Hailey Bailey is such a good one. We dig into the sciencey stuff—the details of what’s happening in the brain when we create art of any kind. From dopamine hits to nervous system resets—it is seriously fascinating. 🧠✨

We talk about why making feels calming, how fiber arts sneakily support our nervous systems, and the little ways creativity helps us carry life’s harder moments. There’s heart in here, but also plenty of laughs, some good tangents, and even a couple of goofy impersonations. Basically… this episode has it all. 🧶💛

Gentle content note: Mentions of grief, parental loss, addiction, dementia, and mental health. We keep it compassionate and grounded, but please take a break to care for yourself if needed. 💛

🌿 What is Flock Fiber Festival?
https://flockfiberfestival.com
Flock is Seattle’s yearly yarn party—a weekend packed with incredible vendors, classes, and community. It’s where knitters, crocheters, spinners, and makers come together to shop, learn, and connect.

🧶 What are Flock Talks?
Flock Talks are basically a live podcast on stage—me chatting with the incredible vendors and makers who bring the marketplace to life. It’s all about getting to know the humans behind the skeins, the passion behind the booths, and the stories that make your yarn extra special.

About the host:
Jen Joyce is the creator and host of Making Conversation, a podcast that’s all about the makers, fiber artists, and crafters shaping the creative world. With over 15 years of experience in marketing—working with industry giants like Uber and award-winning agencies—Jen brings a unique blend of storytelling, strategy, and creativity to the podcast.

Jen is passionate about connecting with makers and sharing untold stories of resilience, creativity, and joy in crafting. In 2023, she took over Making Conversation, transforming it into a video podcast on YouTube. Fueled by her ADHD-driven curiosity, she dove in, learned it all—and here we are. 😉

Jen’s based in Seattle with her partner, Daniel, and two rescue pups, Marcelo and Bennie, who may or may not make guest appearances in the background. When she’s not behind the mic, you’ll find Jen obsessed with fashion, lifting heavy weights, traveling to visit her besties, or knitting a WIP (or five). She’s also may or may not be secretly pondering how she could make podcasting her full-time gig. 🤔
