We set goals for our health, our finances, and our personal growth—but rarely do we pause to set intentional goals for our home. In this episode, I invite you to slow down and reflect on how your home has truly served you over the past year. Did it support your life and rhythms… or did you find yourself constantly serving it? We’ll talk about how to create home goals that go beyond surface-level decorating and instead focus on how you want your home to feel. You’ll learn the difference between physical, tangible home goals (like decluttering, redecorating, or organizing a space) and social or emotional home goals—such as creating a home that feels calmer, more welcoming, or easier to live in day-to-day. One of the most important parts of this conversation is learning to acknowledge the emotional weight we carry around our homes—and why honoring those feelings is just as important (if not more important) than tackling the physical projects first. We’ll walk through: How to reflect honestly on what worked—and what didn’t—in your home this past year Why emotional and lifestyle-based decorating goals matter How to identify realistic next steps for creating a more cohesive, cozy home When and why asking for help can move you forward faster This episode is part reflection, part reset, and part permission—to approach your home with curiosity instead of criticism. 👉 Grab a notebook and pen before you press play. You’ll want space to write, think, and imagine what’s possible for your home in the year ahead.   Are you ready to realize the goals you are setting?

Have you ever walked through Target or Home Goods in the fall and felt the tug to load up your cart with pumpkins, cozy throws, and autumn-scented candles—only to get home and realize nothing really works together? You’re not alone. One of the biggest mistakes women make when decorating for a new season is buying the latest home décor items before they know their design style. Without clarity, those seasonal finds end up feeling random, mismatched, and more like clutter than cozy. The truth is, no amount of fall pillows or faux pumpkins will make your home feel like you if you don’t first know what your style actually is. In this episode, we’re diving into: Why impulse-buying seasonal décor can lead to decision fatigue, overwhelm and regret The common pain points women face when they want a beautiful home but don’t know where to start The shift that happens when your home finally reflects your unique style and feels warm, inviting, and cohesive year-round Friend, you deserve more than a house full of “stuff.” You deserve a home that looks and feels like you—a space you can’t wait to come home to and are proud to invite others into.

In this episode, I’m sharing three unexpected places to find decorating inspiration that work perfectly for women who want a beautiful, cohesive home without overspending.
