In this deeply personal episode, Dara reveals how her childhood struggle with mathematics became the foundation for her revolutionary approach to weight loss coaching. Key Topics Covered: ✔️The French immersion math disaster: How ambitious goals without proper fundamentals led to years of struggle and self-doubt ✔️The memorization trap: Why trying to follow steps without understanding concepts creates frustration in both math and weight loss ✔️Emotional self-preservation modes: How trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, people-please) keep us stuck in cycles of avoidance ✔️The teaching breakthrough: How becoming a math teacher finally revealed the missing fundamentals and transformed Dara's relationship with the subject   The Weight Loss Connection: Dara draws powerful parallels between struggling with math and struggling with weight loss: ✨Both involve missing fundamental skills (emotional regulation vs. mathematical concepts) ✨Both trigger shame and "I'm broken" narratives ✨Both can be solved by going back to build proper foundations ✨Both require self-compassion during the learning process   Main Takeaways:

In this transformative episode, Dara introduces "The Golden Pen" - a powerful tool for rewriting the stories that keep us stuck in cycles of self-sabotage and weight regain. The Golden Pen Process: Step 1 - Raw Writing: Write out your current story without judgment. Let all the victim language flow onto paper. Step 2 - Curious Questioning: Why might others behave the way they do? Is there any truth worth examining in criticism? How would different people interpret this situation? Step 3 - Intentional Rewriting: Consciously choose how you want to think about your circumstances, putting yourself back in the driver's seat of your life. Main Takeaways: ✒️Everything is a story - and you get to choose which version serves you best ✒️You always get the last word because it's your life and your interpretation ✒️Perspective is power - changing how you see situations changes how you respond to them  ✒️Success must be self-created - following someone else's plan won't create lasting change Perfect for: Women who feel like victims of their circumstances, anyone stuck in repetitive self-sabotage patterns, and those ready to take ownership of their transformation journey.

My guest today is psychologist and lifelong knitter Nicole Nehrig, author of the book WITH HER OWN HANDS: Women Weaving Their Stories In this timely and powerful exploration, Nicole uncovers how women across centuries and cultures have used textile arts—knitting, weaving, embroidery—not only as creative outlets, but as tools of resistance, expression, survival, and connection. As a new generation rediscovers fiber arts for mindfulness and meaning, Nicole reclaims the intellectual and emotional legacy behind every stitch. This book touches on subjects such as feminist history, modern crafting culture, the neuroscience of making, and the stories we literally weave into the fabric of our lives.Quilter on Fire Website - https://quilteronfire.com/OLISO IRONS - Host of the Quilter on Fire Podcast Lounge each year at QuiltCon!BUY YOUR OWN OLISO MINI PROJECT IRON RIGHT HERESquare One Textile Art WorkshopJoin Brandy's email listFree Quilter on Fire Holiday Table Runner VIDEOSUPPORT THE PODCAST by becoming a Quilter on Fire Podcast Angel for as little as $3 per week.Support the showThank you for listening to the Quilter on Fire Podcast.

This week on Not Your Granny's Quilt Show, I'm joined by the unapologetically bold Maddie Kertay of The Bad Ass Quilter's Society. Maddie is known for speaking up, standing strong for progressive values, and carving out space for radical inclusivity in the craft world. We dive into the trends she spotted at H+H Americas, the tough calls creatives face when trying to align their spending with their ethics, and why—while she may adore vintage quilts—she's never subscribed to vintage values. You don't want to miss this one.Want to see more?

My guest today is Sharon Holland. A mother of 3 with a B.A. in Art & Design. Sharon's story goes from handcrafting dolls and seasonal crafts to a stint in magazine publishing and fabric design first for Paintbrush Studios and then now Art Gallery Fabrics. Starting as a library-book-taught quilter when rotary cutters were revolutionary new tools, she's evolved into a sought-after designer with a signature "modern-traditional" style. Her journey proves that formal training combined with hands-on passion creates something extraordinary—fabric designs and quilts that bridge heritage techniques with contemporary aesthetics, the perfect mix. She is a quilt pattern designer with hundreds of PDF patterns available, and she wrote the book Utility-style quilts for everyday living!You can find Sharon's website here: https://www.sharonhollanddesigns.com/Want to travel with Brandy?

This week, I'm joined by the wildly creative Teresa Fiehn Millies—quilter, teacher, tarot enthusiast, and the mind behind the *Quilter's Inspiration Deck*. Teresa blends her love of improv quilting and tarot to spark spontaneous, intuitive creativity with nothing more than fabric scraps and a shuffled deck. We talk about her journey from traditional quilting to making bold political statements with her art (hello, "Quilters Against Fascism" stickers!), teaching patchwork at College of DuPage, and how learning to trust herself has shaped her practice.Teresa also shares her dream of seeing her work in an art museum, reflects on her past podcast about tarot, and gives us a peek behind the scenes of her colorful world—both online and off.Explore more of Teresa's work at [teresafiehnmillies.com](https://teresafiehnmillies.com/) and on Instagram [@queen.of.marigold](https://www.instagram.com/queen.of.marigold).Want to see more?

In this heartfelt episode, I join Will Rogers, the editor of The Quilters — a Netflix short film that tells the moving story of incarcerated men in a Missouri prison who sew quilts for children in need. Will shares how he landed this unique editing role, the behind-the-scenes challenges and beauty of shaping such a powerful narrative, and what he discovered about the human spirit along the way — both from the quilters and the prisoners.  This episode is a beautiful reminder of the transformation that comes from creating with purpose and the unexpected places where hope and art intersect. Whether you're a quilter, filmmaker, or creative entrepreneur, this episode will leave you inspired to look at your craft — and your purpose — with new eyes.
