  • Learning How to Manage Hustle Culture - with Lauren Goche

    Learning How to Manage Hustle Culture - with Lauren Goche
    May 13 2026

    In this episode my friend Lauren Goche joins the pod. She’s not in the craft industry, she’s a realtor – but as an entrepreneur who has built her own business, she has faced similar challenges around burnout, hustle culture, and hiring help. She’s a fierce advocate for women and a community builder in my neighborhood, so I’m happy to bring some of her wisdom here to share.

    We talk about the growing pains in business - working too much, learning to hire help, and learning how to delegate once you’ve hired it! Lauren has also really prioritized rest, and how to maximize even small breaks from work. She also talks about being public about what you stand for, and how that has brought her well-aligned clients to work with, most of whom become friends.

  • Learning How To Advocate for Yourself - With Christa Watson

    Learning How To Advocate for Yourself - With Christa Watson
    Apr 29 2026
    Christa Watson join the pod in this episode, and we talk about the long journey to “overnight success.” She spent a lot of years thinking she had to get older to be “allowed” to do more with her business, and eventually became a hard working advocate for HERSELF, while being a kind resource for others. We talk about how she has used that power to negotiate better contracts for herself in both book writing and pattern design. We also discuss how she has gone about learning what she wants to know (she’s tenacious about finding the right classes!) and where it has led her.Show NotesWebsite - https://christaquilts.com/Instagram @christaquilts - https://www.instagram.com/christaquilts/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@ChristaQuiltsAsana - https://app.asana.comTrello - https://trello.com/QuiltCon - https://www.quiltcon.com/homeChrista’s books:*Machine Quilting with Style - https://amzn.to/3NZj3wo*The Ultimate Guide to Machine Quilting: Long-arm and Sit-down--Learn When, Where, Why, and How to Finish Your Quilts - https://amzn.to/3NMcHQR*Piece and Quilt with Precuts - https://amzn.to/4sZVbaO*99 Machine-Quilting Desings: Ideas & Options for Walking-Foot & Free-Motion Quilting - https://amzn.to/4bJSOBR*How Do I Quilt It?

  • Making the Changes to Ease Burnout - With Timna Tarr

    Making the Changes to Ease Burnout - With Timna Tarr
    Apr 15 2026

    #073 - Timna joins the podcast again to talk about some of the things she’s done to help ease the burnout she was feeling a couple of years ago. She re-evaluated how she does her teaching, and modified the WHERE to give her schedule some much needed space.

    We also talk about the value of playing with artistic media that is not fabric-related to shake out new ideas, and to just have some fun. It can’t just be all work, all the time!
