Have you ever bought something — a class, a program, a tool — full of hope… Only to feel regret, resentment, or disillusionment when it didn't work the way you thought it would?

You're not alone.

In this episode, Dara explores what's really going on when we feel let down by something we've invested in — and how those emotions are often rooted in a misunderstanding of what we expected from ourselves.

From quilting tools to coaching programs, from parenting regrets to free-motion quilting frustration, Dara walks you through a powerful reframing:

• Why resentment is a sign of unmet expectations

• How to label your emotions honestly so you can move through them

• The sneaky way perfectionism and victimhood can keep you stuck

• What Elizabeth Gilbert, chocolate chip cookies, and Christmas planning all have in common

• Why your emotional weight must be addressed before lasting physical change can happen

If you want to stop abandoning yourself every time something feels hard — this episode will help you turn pain into perspective, and regret into power.
