In a world where influencers and professional photos shape our idea of the “perfect home,” it can be overwhelming to develop our own home style. But what if loving your home isn’t about achieving perfection? Today Joanna Martin sits down with special guest Kelsey Wharton from The Girl Next Door Podcast to discuss embracing the homes we have, letting go of unrealistic ideals, and focusing on creating spaces that reflect who we are—not what we see online. We cover simplifying home decor, finding inspiration without the pressure, and discovering the beauty in the everyday spaces we call home. Join us!

Meagan and Sarah have passed the mic over to our team this holiday break. Enjoy the fantastic, all-new podcast episodes they’ve prepared for you, and we’ll talk to you mid-January!
