This week, we’re leaning into hobbies — the fun, the messy, and the why not? Whether you’re picking up a paintbrush or diving into a new book, let these episodes remind you that hobbies don’t need to be perfect or profitable to bring joy.
Hobbies make life richer — and they don’t have to come with pressure to “be good” or make extra cash. That’s the vibe for The hi 2025 List this week. From finding books you can’t put down to hearing how others stumbled into their passions, this lineup is your invitation to play, explore, and maybe even get inspired.
Crack open a hi Seltzer (or grab a hi Gummi) and settle in — it’s time to focus on the fun stuff.
