Do you ever feel like there's a problem in your life that seems impossible to solve, no matter what you try? In this episode of the Quilters Podcast, I'm diving into the topic of facing seemingly unsolvable problems and offering a fresh perspective on how to approach them. We’ll explore how to shift your mindset to feel more empowered and less overwhelmed by life's challenges.
In this episode, I encourage you to reflect on the problems you’ve faced at different stages of your life—from childhood to adulthood—and examine how you overcame them. By taking a step back and breaking down these issues, we can identify the patterns and strategies that have helped us in the past and apply them to current challenges. I also share a powerful exercise that involves connecting with your future self to gain insights and wisdom, helping you tackle your problems with a renewed sense of confidence and clarity.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by guilt, torn between feeling blessed in your life and still wanting more? Guilt can be a heavy emotion, making you question your worth and choices. It’s something many of us carry without even realizing how deeply it affects our health, our happiness, and our ability to truly enjoy the present moment. Whether it's the guilt from not meeting expectations or the guilt passed down from family, it’s time to confront it head-on.
In this episode, I dive into the complexities of guilt and how it shows up in our lives, often as two conflicting thoughts that pull us in different directions. I share my personal journey with guilt, especially how it was modeled for me growing up, and how I learned to rewrite my own "manual" for living. This manual, filled with outdated rules and expectations, often drives our feelings of guilt. But here's the good news—you have the power to rewrite it, to create a new set of rules that align with your values and desires.

Do you ever find yourself putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own, only to feel unfulfilled and stuck in the same patterns? It’s time to stop quitting on yourself and take control of your journey. The truth is, quick fixes like weight loss drugs won’t bring lasting transformation. The real change comes from within—by redefining your relationship with food, your body, and most importantly, yourself.
In this episode, I dive deep into the emotional and psychological challenges that often stem from unresolved trauma, particularly sexual trauma, and how these issues can manifest as unhealthy behaviors, such as emotional eating and addiction. Through personal stories and experiences, I illustrate how vital it is to take small, consistent steps toward healing and becoming the person you aspire to be. By understanding how our brains work, we can start living into our future selves and create lasting, positive changes.

Do you ever feel frustrated with your relationship with food, constantly seeking comfort in it but finding that it never truly satisfies you? You might have considered or even tried weight loss drugs, hoping for a quick fix, only to realize that they don't address the deeper issues. These drugs can seem like an easy solution, but they often come with risks and don't tackle the underlying emotional and psychological factors that lead to unhealthy eating habits. Instead, they may offer temporary results, leaving you in the same cycle of frustration and disappointment.
In this episode, I dive deep into the ineffectiveness of weight loss drugs and why they don't solve the real problems at the core of our struggles with food and body image. I share my personal journey and insights as a life coach, where I've seen firsthand how addressing the root causes of these issues can lead to lasting change. Through coaching, I’ve helped women shift their mindset, break free from destructive patterns, and build a healthier relationship with themselves and their bodies. This approach is about more than just losing weight; it's about transforming your life from the inside out.
