  • 006 - My Aligned Home: Creating Home with Purpose and Strengths

    Today, I talk about purpose and strengths in home creation, which is the fourth lesson in the First Foundation of Home: Mindset & Motivation.

    In this episode, we look at identifying our purpose, the benefits of purpose in our home creation and how it is related to our identity. And we discuss at how purpose and our strengths shape our homes, experiences of home creation and how they help us develop the mindset and motivation we need to create home we truly desire.


    Here’s a recap:

    1. Purpose in the context of home creation is about creating our home in a way that is meaningful, purposeful and intentional. Understanding our purpose provides a roadmap for our home creation. Purpose can guide life decisions, it can influence behavior, it can shape goals, it can offer a sense of direction, and it can create meaning in our lives.
    2. A life and home without purpose can lack meaning, and can leave us feeling lost or like something is missing.
    3. Purpose has many benefits. Living on purpose feels alive,
      4. clear, and authentic. Research suggests that purpose is tied to happiness, health, longevity, better relationships, resiliency and even economic success.
    4. Our Strengths can not only help us discover purpose in our
      5. lives and homes, they can also help us live purposefully. Leaning into our strengths in the context of our home expands our capabilities, making daily tasks more manageable and enjoyable.
    5. For us to have true success in our home creation we need to recognize our strengths, our accomplishments and the wins (big and small) we are having in our homes and our lives.
    6. We dive into Purpose and Strengths further in the First Foundation of Home: Mindset & Motivation, which within the holistic home framework.

    7. 005 - A Meaningful Home: Embracing Values in Home Creation

      Today, I talk about personal values in home creation. Values are the third lesson in Mindset & Motivation, which is the first foundation of the Holistic Home Method.

      In this episode, we look at what values are and why they are so important in shaping a meaningful and purposeful home, and how aligning with our personal values helps us develop the mindset and motivation we need to create home we truly desire.

      Here’s a recap:

      1. Core values are our deepest desires, beliefs, and priorities and they highlight what matters most to us. They also play a significant role in influencing the homes we inevitably create, because our decisions and priorities are often based on our values.
      2. Everyone has a unique set of values. Values often can coincide with a person’s gifts, talents and personality. Understanding our values can help us understand our choices, desires and even fears. Knowing what is important to us can help us align our homes with our inner selves, which creates more intention, purpose and fulfillment in our homes and our lives.  
      3. There are numerous benefits to prioritizing our
        4. values in our home creation and our life.
      4. Our values manifest within our home environments. They influence how we clean, organize, build routines, set goals, design and decorate in our homes. They shape how we create home and how we experience our homes.
      5. We dive into Values further in the First Foundation of Home: Mindset & Motivation, which within the holistic home framework.

      6. 004 - Home from the Heart: Self-Love & Compassion in Home Creation

        Today, I talk about Self-Love and Self-Compassion in home creation. This is the second lesson in Mindset & Motivation, which is the first foundation in the Holistic Home framework.

        In this episode, we look at what self love and self compassion really are, why they are important and how they contribute to our mindset and motivation in home creation.

        Here’s a recap:

        1)     Self-love and Self-compassion are foundational. The

        relationship that we have with self really is the most important relationship we have and forms the foundation for all other relationships.

        2)     Gaining an awareness of our thoughts and creating a positive and compassionate relationship with ourselves significantly shapes our homes and our experiences in home creation.

        3)     Cultivating self-love and self-compassion helps understand our needs, desires, and preferences for home, and they allow us to overcome limiting beliefs and make intentional decisions about home. And this leads us to create homes the align with who we really are and what we really want.

        4)     Incorporating self-love, self-compassion and self-care into our homemaking allows us to create a home that really prioritizes our full humanity – our mental, emotional, physical, spiritual and

        social well-being.

        5)     We dive into Self-Love and Self-Compassion further in the First Foundation of Home: Mindset & Motivation, which within

        the Holistic Home framework.

      7. 003 - Mindset Matters: Building a Happier and Healthier Home
        Today, I talk about Mindset in home creation. Mindset is the first lesson in Mindset & Motivation, which is the first foundation of the Holistic Home framework.
        In this episode, we look at what mindset is and why it is so important in context of home creation.  I share about understanding our mindset, the difference between fixed and growth mindset, positive thinking and shifting our mindset to help us create the homes we truly desire.
        Here's a Recap:
        1)     Mindset is foundational. Gaining an awareness of our mindset and the stories that we telling ourselves about home is the first step in transformation. Our mindset has such profound effect on our homes, on
        our experiences of home and how we create in our home.
        2)     The best part about mindset is that it is not fixed; it is actually adaptable, moldable, and within our power to adjust. Our mindset can transform home.
        3)     Positive Thinking and a Growth Mindset can support our home creation and empower us to thrive in our homes and our lives.
        4)     And when we use intentional strategies to shift our mindset, we can create the homes and the lives we truly desire with gratitude, positivity and goal setting.
        5)     We dive into Mindset further in the First Foundation of Home: Mindset & Motivation, which within the Holistic Home framework.

      9. 001 - Holistic Home: Creating a Happier and Healthier Home

        Join me as I launch The Common Nest Podcast.  I am starting things off talking about Holistic Home – what means to create home with a holistic approach and why it is actually pretty life changing.

        In this episode, I share a little bit about my journey, why I am so passionate about helping you create a happier and healthier home, some common struggles many of us face in creating home and how the Holistic Home framework can be a solution to some of our struggles.


        Here’s a Recap:

        1)     First and foremost, if you are struggling in your home with all management, caring and creating that is required, PLEASE KNOW YOU ARE NOT ALONE

        2)     Our homes contribute a significantly to our overall health and happiness levels.

        3)     There are five common struggles many of us face: Mindset, Clutter, Time, Energy and Décor. If we struggle in one of these areas or there is lack of balance between them, it can often lead to feelings of overwhelm, resentment and anger.

        4)     A solution to these challenges can be found in creating home with a more holistic approach - understanding the connection between ourselves and home, and developing skills in inner work, decluttering, planning, cyclical living and design.

        5)     The Holistic Home framework teaches the five foundations of home: Mindset & Motivation, Release & Reset, Plans & Routines, Design & Décor and Cyclical Living. All of which are designed to help us create happier, healthier and more holistic homes.
