May 31, 2023 Making your home a haven: Unlock a vision for your home & design spaces that support you through chronic health challenges with Erika Ver of @peonyandhoney
If you’re struggling to create a clear vision for your space, this episode is for you. Erika Ver of Peony and Honey has a passion for peaceful spaces and luxury looking DIY’s. She worked as a talk radio host for iHeartMedia in Cleveland for 10 years and part-time TV host for Cleveland 19, and now she's a full-time content creator in the home, diy, and lifestyle space.

Erika walks us through what life was like to completely change careers when she developed a chronic illness, finding her own signature style, how it evolved over time and how you can experiment with your own DIY projects. She shares her journey of finding balance when it comes to living with a chronic health struggle and still wanting to tackle big projects and create an intentional home that reflects her style.

Yes, it's possible and it doesn't take a lot of money or hiring a professional. It just takes a little creativity, a little intentionality, in the right tips to make it happen.

So what do you say? Should we make space in the house you have now to create your dream? Home? Feels like yes.
