    Addiction and How to Break Free
     In today’s episode, we dive into a powerful concept that challenges the traditional narrative around addiction. What if addiction isn’t about the substance or behavior itself but about a lack of connection? As the Quilter’s Coach, I’m here to help you uncover the deeper issues behind the habits that hold you back—whether it’s sugar, scrolling, shopping, or people-pleasing.

    We’ll explore why connection, both with others and yourself, is the true antidote to addiction. Through personal coaching stories, compelling research, and actionable strategies, I’ll show you how understanding your habits and reconnecting with your inner wisdom can transform your life.

    I also share a touching story of a client who overcame her struggles with perfectionism and people-pleasing to host a stress-free event, showing how connection to self can reduce anxiety and increase joy. Plus, we’ll take a closer look at groundbreaking studies, like the Rat Park experiment, that illustrate how community and connection play a vital role in overcoming addiction.
    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    • Why addiction isn’t just about chemical hooks—it’s about the need for connection.
    • How perfectionism and self-judgment keep you stuck in unhealthy patterns.
    • The importance of vulnerability in building stronger relationships with yourself and others.
    • Practical tools for reconnecting with your purpose and breaking free from habits that no longer serve you.

    This episode is a reminder that you’re not broken—you just haven’t learned how to connect deeply with yourself. Let’s break the cycle of addiction and create a life of purpose, joy, and fulfillment.

    How to Achieve Mastery and Break Free from Old Habits
     In today’s episode, I’m talking about the concept of mastery—what it truly means and how to achieve it in ways that stick. As the “accidental weight loss coach,” I’ve learned that creating lasting habits isn’t about perfection but about intention. Did you know that Day 19 of building a habit is often a make-or-break day? I recorded this episode on January 19th because I’m here to help you avoid falling into the statistics of setting a goal and giving up. Together, we’ll explore how to reframe your mindset and create habits that support a joyful, sustainable life.

    I also share a powerful story about a client who discovered how her fears shaped her identity and decisions—and how she broke free to create a life aligned with her true self. It’s a reminder that our old patterns don’t have to define us, and by applying intentional tools, we can create new habits that align with the life we really want. Mastery, as we’ll discuss, doesn’t mean perfection; it means creating autopilot habits that serve us. I’ll also reflect on J.K. Rowling’s insights on failure and imagination, two tools that are key to redefining success on your own terms.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:
    • How to define mastery for yourself and recognize areas where you’ve already achieved it.
    • Why failure and imagination are essential for growth and transformation.
    • Practical tools to rewire your brain and create habits that align with your goals.
