  • Ep. 85 | Making Chores Equitable: They are not all yours

    When we think about overwhelm or anxiety coming specifically from your home, part of it could be the daily grind of upkeep. As simple as it sounds, we all know, indeed it is not simple but what if there was a tool that could help us handle it better so we can step back and worry less? 

    If you didn’t start listening at Episode 1, I invite you to start from the beginning.  There are too many jewels to miss.

    8. Ep: 84 | A story about Reupholstery & personal growth with The Salvaged Woodshop

      This episode might be one of my all-time favorites with special Guest Courtney Winstone of The Salvaged Woodshop in the UK. Imagine one episode that somehow discusses personal growth, furniture reupholstering, sustainability, roof replacement and moving to the Philipines all in one story.  Buckle up.  This is a beautiful journey.

                What is beautiful to you? Are we truly tuning into what we love individually or are we following the herd with the beigification being fed to us about what is or isn’t good for resale?  Ponder this with us as we consider taste and whether to refinish that dining room table with special guest, Interior Designer Arlene Lord.
