One New Hobby Every Month in 2026 | Rediscovering Joy in My 40s

Trying one new hobby every month in 2026 is my way of slowing down, rediscovering myself, and choosing joy in my 40s.

In this video, I’m introducing a year-long series where I’ll explore new hobbies, cozy routines, and creative interests—not to be productive or impressive, but to reconnect with who I am outside of motherhood, work, and achievement.

As a mom of teenagers, I’ve reached a season where my kids don’t need me in the same way. And somewhere along the way, I realized I’d lost touch with what I enjoy. This series is about rediscovering joy in whatever stage of life you’re in, embracing being a beginner again, and building a happier life through small, intentional pleasures.

This is not a glow-up or self-improvement challenge.
There are no goals, timelines, or expectations.

Just:• One new hobby every month• Slow living and cozy routines• Creativity without pressure• Choosing joy daily• A gentle midlife reset

If you’re emotionally under or over-stimulated, stuck in routine, or disconnected from your creativity and joy - this space is for you.

You don’t have to reinvent your life. You can simply explore what brings you joy again.

Subscribe to follow along with this one new hobby every month series and future videos on slow living, cozy hobbies such as reading and coloring, cozy lifestyle routines, and intentional living.
