Woman Uncaged
The Death of Hobbies (or Why Does Everything Have to be Monetized?)
Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!
Thank you for tuning into the 4th episode of Woman Uncaged with Laura Gates-Lupton and Linda Katz! Today we are talking about the death of hobbies. Where have hobbies gone and why do we only seem to have side hustles these days?
In this episode, a few of the questions and themes we explore include:
- What exactly IS a hobby? And how might 5th grade Laura actually be Nostradamus...
- Where have hobbies gone? And how does the pressure to monetize everything affect what we do simply for pleasure?
- How do we preserve the essence of our inner artist in a world that hyper-values productivity?
- What does it mean to be "wasting our time"? How do we determine that for ourselves rather than letting society dictate it for us?
- Why Laura would like to eradicate the term "guilty pleasure" from our lexicon.
- What do hobbies have to do with reclaiming our own rhythm?
- Why starting new hobbies asks us to embrace the messiness of being really bad at something and why that's a good thing!
We'd love to hear from you! What were your hobbies growing up and how do hobbies factor into your life as an adult? Email us: womanuncagedpodcast@gmail.com
