224. What Your Fabric Purchases Are Telling You


Listen Later

Ever wonder why you keep buying fabric when you already have enough for three lifetimes? This isn't about budgeting or organizing your stash - it's about understanding what you're really shopping for.

In this episode, Dara explores the emotional drivers behind fabric shopping and how the same patterns that create overflowing fabric stashes also drive emotional eating and other distracting behaviors.

Key Topics Covered

The Real Problem: Thinking, Not Knowledge Why you don't have a knowledge problem - you have a thinking problem

How emotional distraction shows up as shopping, eating, scrolling, and staying busy

The connection between fabric shopping and emotional eating patterns

Four Emotions That Drive Fabric Shopping:

✔️Stress Relief - That gorgeous new collection feels like a promise of peace

✔️Excitement Management - Buying fabric feels like taking action on excitement ✔️Boredom/Emptiness - Shopping gives us something to focus on when feeling restless ✔️Connection Seeking - Buying what others have feels like joining the community

Are you ready to dive deeper into this? Then get in on Dara's FREE Mini Course: 12 Mini Lessons on Why We Have So Much Extra Fabric
