Episode #25: Unlock the potential of your home and transform your life as we embark on a journey into the world of empty nesting and home refreshes. With our children having flown the nest, we explore the newfound freedom and adventures that await us, from memorable travels to Palm Springs and Mount Madonna, to the exciting realm of home improvement projects. We are joined by a special guest, a home refresh and remodel expert, who shares invaluable insights on reimagining spaces, making this phase not just a physical transformation but a symbol of a fresh start.
Together, we dive into actionable tips for breathing new life into your home without breaking the bank. Discover how a designer’s perspective can illuminate unseen potential, from maximizing cabinetry space to seamlessly blending old and new design elements. Our conversation highlights the importance of prioritizing updates like countertops and lighting, and how small tweaks, such as swapping out hardware or rearranging furniture, can make a significant impact. Our expert guest also emphasizes the critical role of professional guidance in achieving a harmonious balance between aesthetics and budget.
Beyond the physical transformation, we reflect on the joys of personal expression in your home. Embrace your unique style rather than following fleeting trends, and explore the concept of flex spaces to adapt to changing family dynamics. From creating peaceful meditation rooms to accommodating our furry friends with pet-friendly materials, we cover it all. To top it off, we share a delightful, protein-rich alternative to traditional ranch dressing that’s bound to become a favorite at your gatherings. Join us as we celebrate this new chapter of life with creativity, freedom, and fun!

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
