The Encourager Podcast: Equipping Christian Moms to Harmonize Work and Home

Organizing and Designing with Guest Whitney English


Listen Later

How do we design a home that feels like us—without the pressure of perfection?
In today’s episode, I sit down with Whitney English—designer, business owner, and author of Organize First, Decorate Second—to talk about organizing with intention and beauty.

We explore the tension between wanting a gorgeous space and needing it to work for our real, messy, lived-in lives. Whitney shares her down-to-earth approach to decorating that starts with function and editing before aesthetics. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by home trends, minimalism guilt, or the urge to rage-purge your entire house before guests arrive (hi, me), this one’s for you.

We chat about:

  • How to show yourself grace in your organizing process
  • Why story matters more than style
  • The beauty of handmade and meaningful items
  • What “maximalism with meaning” really looks like
  • Why it’s okay to own 40 wreaths... or 6 pairs of blue light glasses

You’ll walk away with permission to be creative, cluttered, and still totally on track.
