About Coffee, Crochet, and Conversation

Coffee in one hand, crochet hook in the other, mic on the desk, and cats underfoot — welcome to cozy chaos. I’m Stef: mom, maker, runner‑in‑training, and unapologetic chaos coordinator. We mix laughs, tangents, and real talk on parenting (kids and pets), creativity, and self‑care. Segments like Brews News, Shuffle Happens, and Stitch Happens make each episode a coffee date with a friend who gets the messy middle. New here? Ep 0 is just a Costco sample — start with Ep 5 for the full meal. ☕ Cozy ✅ 😂 Funny ✅ 📻 Segments ✅ 💡 Relatable LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/CoffeeCrochetConversation coffeecrochetandconversation.substack.com

The Fight Was the Product: How the 90s Engineered Boy Band Rivalries

The boy band wars of the 90s weren’t a fan phenomenon — they were a business model. One man managed both the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC simultaneously, collected income from both sides, and manufactured the rivalry to keep the money flowing. TRL gamified it, Twilight franchised it, reality TV cashed in on it, and social media inherited the whole playbook. This episode traces the origin story of engineered outrage all the way back to where most of us first experienced it without knowing what it was — and yes, the Nick Carter pillow is mentioned.

XP, Snacks, and Eye Rolls: Why We Still Game

Gaming isn’t just for kids — and if you’ve ever played Candy Crush at 2am because your husband snores, welcome, you’re one of us. This episode is about why adult gamers exist, why we’re not apologizing for it, and what we actually get out of it beyond the rage quit. From the skills gaming genuinely builds, to the community it creates, to the emotional memory tied to the games that marked a season of your life — play is not frivolous. It’s human. And you don’t have to justify it to anyone. Music: “Don’t Worry” by Moire, provided by Uppbeat. ☕🧶 This is a public episode.

episode Carrying Too Much: The Weight We Don't Talk About artwork

Carrying Too Much: The Weight We Don't Talk About

There’s the weight people can see — the job, the kids, the full calendar. And then there’s the weight nobody talks about: the mental load, the emotional labor, the caretaker identity so deeply programmed you don’t even notice what it’s costing you anymore. This episode is about naming the invisible load, understanding why we keep carrying it past the point we should, and finding the courage to actually put something down — not drop it, just set it down with intention and breathe.

episode Tired, But Still Standing artwork

Tired, But Still Standing

There’s tired from one hard thing — and then there’s tired from everything, every day, always. Those are not the same flavor and most of us have been carrying the second kind for a lot longer than we’ve admitted. This episode is about naming the exhaustion that doesn’t feel dramatic enough to take seriously, holding your ground when you’re worn down without burning out, and what it actually means that you’re still here and still showing up. Spoiler: it means a lot. Music: “Don’t Worry” by Moire, provided by Uppbeat. ☕🧶 This is a public episode.

episode Pixels and Power: The Politics Beneath the Play artwork

Pixels and Power: The Politics Beneath the Play

Every game has a political philosophy baked into it whether the designers intended it or not — even Candy Crush. This episode digs into what video games actually reflect back at us about power, choice, and the systems we navigate every day. From resource management mechanics that mirror real-world economics, to the illusion of player agency in a broken system, to what GamerGate actually was as a political moment — the politics were always in the game. We’re just finally talking about them out loud. Music: “Don’t Worry” by Moire, provided by Uppbeat. ☕🧶 This is a public episode.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
