#190: Sewing and the Four Tendencies with Jeanna, Kim & Lise


Listen Later

How do you respond to expectations? How easy is it for you to get things done, both the things that are asked of you, and the things you want to achieve yourself? And how does that play out in your sewing and creative life? We’re taking a deep dive into the Four Tendencies framework devised by writer and podcaster, Gretchen Rubin. Understanding how we, and those around us operate, can be so useful in achieving our goals. We look at each of the tendencies and talk to a well-known previous CYT guest about how their tendency impacts their crafting.
