In this episode of Muffled Minds, we dive into one of the most overlooked but emotionally draining experiences of adult life: building, renovating, and living in a home.

Renovations are known to be one of the biggest stressors in life — often testing marriages, finances, patience, and mental health.

We unpack how social media perfectionism, decision fatigue, budget pressure, and even imposter syndrome quietly affect people during this journey.

This is a raw, practical, and deeply relatable conversation about how our living spaces influence our minds — and how to design not just homes that look good, but spaces that actually feel good to live in.

We discuss:

• Why building or renovating a house causes so much conflict and stress

• Social media’s role in unrealistic “perfect home” expectations

• Decision fatigue and mental overwhelm during construction

• Budget anxiety and emotional reactions when costs exceed reality

• Imposter syndrome and creative pressure in professional life

• The difference between a home that impresses guests vs one that heals you

• Small-space hacks to reduce claustrophobia and suffocation

• Mistakes, failures, and staying calm when things go wrong

• The connection between a messy home and a chaotic mind

• Designing a “mental health first aid room” for peace and grounding

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by life decisions, finances, or the pressure to “have it all together.”

Muffled Minds is not about fixing anyone — it’s about giving voices to the unheard.

If you’ve ever felt stressed inside your own space, this episode is for you.
