Have you ever wondered how a passion for quilting can become a powerful tool for self-discovery and healing? Join me as I chat with Amanda Oros, the dynamic host of "Not Your Granny's Quilt Show." Amanda and I share our personal journeys as step-parents, highlighting the emotional challenges and growth that come with it. We also explore the deeper meaning of community within the quilting world, breaking stereotypes and emphasizing the importance of creativity in overcoming life's hurdles.
Our conversation takes a heartfelt turn as we discuss the journey of healing through self-trust, especially when confronting deeply rooted beliefs from an evangelical upbringing. We delve into the significance of self-awareness, the struggle against black-and-white thinking, and the importance of maintaining family connections despite differing beliefs. Through personal anecdotes, we reflect on the pivotal moments that triggered our healing journeys, stressing the importance of open communication and personal growth in fostering better relationships.
Navigating the loneliness that often accompanies personal growth is another key theme in our chat. We touch on the relief and challenges of embracing one's true self, setting boundaries for self-care, and recognizing the toxic nature of people-pleasing. Amanda and I also discuss the concept of toxic positivity and how embracing authenticity and self-love can lead to a more fulfilling life. Join us for an episode filled with honest reflections and insights on overcoming personal blocks and finding genuine connections.
