This week we look through a different lens at sustainability. I speak with Dara Tomasson about her journey to becoming a life and weight loss coach for quilters. We get into a great conversation about sustainability beginning with the individual and rippling into other parts of our lives as we feel confident.  There's no doubt that we have to be in the right mindset to think about the world around us and it can start with putting ourselves first.  Many quilters are women over 50 and life changes can result in habits that are not the most healthy for our bodies. Dara talks about learning to nourish yourself, which can lead to great things. Join us while we talk about these concepts and more. 

"After spending the past 25 years of riding the nauseating roller coaster of weight loss and gain with its accompanying negative self talk and discomfort I knew I needed to help others achieve the same results."

Dara Tomasson is a  life and weight loss coach for quilters. She has written a program called Love Yourself Thin that teaches quilters to show as much love and compassion to themselves as they put into their quilts and has helped quilters lose 100's of pounds.
