Self Acceptance Happens Here: Creating a “Good Messy” Space with Nicki Traikos

My studio is a good messy — it’s where creativity lives, where I can spread out, make mistakes, and keep growing. — Brandi

This week on Colour Me Happy Podcast Creating a “Good Messy” Space with Nicki Traikos In this cozy and honest episode of Colour Me Happy, artist and creative entrepreneur Nicki Traikos shares how her once-living-room evolved into a thriving studio space — the birthplace of Life I Design. We dive into what it means to create an environment that supports your creativity, even when it’s a little “good messy.” Nicki opens up about her leap into art at age 40, the freedom that comes with age and self-acceptance, and how decluttering both your space and your mind can open doors to new adventures. Brandi Hofer joins in with her own reflections on turning 40, creative focus, and finding clarity through clearing space.

Takeaway Tips:

Make Room for Creativity — Declutter your space and your mind to invite new ideas, growth, and opportunities. A refreshed environment can reignite your creative energy.

Embrace the “Good Messy” — Creativity doesn’t thrive in perfection. Let your studio, desk, or dining table reflect the beautiful chaos of making — it’s where your best work often begins.
