Episode 270

Dive into the latest She Renovates podcast episode!

After five unforgettable years of running She Renovates Live, Bernadette is facing a big question: Should it return in 2026?

In this heartfelt episode (recorded from a forest in Croatia 🌲), she opens up about the highs, heartbreaks, and hard-won lessons behind last year’s event, including a near-disaster with an event manager that almost derailed the entire thing.

Now, Bernadette is turning the tables and asking YOU, the renovating community, to decide whether She Renovates Live 2026 should go ahead.

Discover the story behind the new 24-hour “proof test,” why it matters, and how you can help shape the future of this much-loved event.
