As we step into a summer of refinement here at Enneagram and Marriage, what better time to focus on creating homes that truly work for our families? In this insightful episode, interior design and home organization expert and author Whitney English, Type 4 (4-9 pairing), shares her room-by-room approach to creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional. Whitney believes that anyone can live a beautiful life, that "if you're real you can't be ugly," and that everyone is creative—some of us have just forgotten. As a successful entrepreneur who's been featured in O Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and on the Today Show, Whitney brings both design expertise and real-life family wisdom to the conversation. Discover how to assess each room in your home for what it truly needs—from the practical (garbage cans and scissors in the right places) to the aesthetic touches that make you want to spend time there. Whitney also opens up about her curiosity around her Enneagram perspective and how understanding her personality has helped her create organized systems without becoming harsh or demanding with her family, especially as she considers that family of origin overlays many of us bring. Learn why the aesthetic of your home matters more than you think, how to balance beauty with functionality on any budget, and practical strategies for couples to create spaces that support both their relationship and family life. Whether you're naturally organized or struggle with clutter, Whitney's gentle wisdom will help you see your home as a place of intentional living rather than perfectionist pressure.
