One “yes” can reroute an entire life. Morgan Mullen went from stay-at-home mom mode to running a multi-seven-figure interior design business, and it started with selling succulent pumpkins at her dining room table. When a customer asked for help with a front yard, then a kitchen, she didn’t wait to feel qualified. She figured it out, documented it, and let social media and word of mouth do what they do best when the work is real. 

We talk honestly about the parts people skip on Instagram: the money pressure of living on one income, the guilt that can show up when you want more than motherhood as your only identity, and the expensive lessons that come with fast growth. Then COVID hits, projects pause, and Morgan’s family is suddenly staring at major uncertainty. Her response is a masterclass in pivoting: she launches a home decor subscription box, sells out in 24 hours, and scales from a garage operation to full fulfillment. 

We also go deep on health and burnout. Morgan shares the symptoms that led to her Hashimoto’s diagnosis, what inflammation looked like in daily life, and the practical habits that helped her feel like herself again, including protein-forward meals, prep, supplements, and strength training without perfectionism. We discuss breast implant illness as an inflammation question, her explant decision, and the recovery reality. And because she’s a designer, we end with how light, clutter, and organized spaces can change your mental state and help you show up better at home.
