Hey friends! Today’s episode is all about why design is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. I'm breaking down the myth that design only comes into play at the end of a build or renovation, when in reality, it should be integrated from the very beginning. I’m sharing real-life stories (including a few of my own house headaches!) that show just how costly and frustrating it can be when design is treated as an afterthoug...
In today’s episode, we’re hitting pause on renovations and diving into something just as transformational—you. I'm talking about the invisible but powerful shift we all go through when we're stepping into the next version of ourselves. How do you know when you've outgrown the old you? How can you tell when it's time to let go of what no longer fits—like your favorite sweater that's just a litt...
Hey friend, today’s episode is a little different. It’s not about renovation tips or design ideas—this one’s about YOU. Life has been heavy lately, and I felt it was time to pause and just speak from the heart. So I’m inviting you into a raw, honest conversation about what it means to keep showing up when everything feels overwhelming. We talk about growth, grief, guilt-free breaks, and those quiet wins that often go ...
If your renovation feels like it’s drifting in limbo—this one’s for you. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down why a project schedule isn’t just helpful—it’s non-negotiable. I dive into how having a clear timeline builds trust, protects your budget, and shows your contractor actually respects your time and vision. A schedule reveals way more than dates—it reflects your contractor’s time management skills, transparency...
This week on Custom Built, I’m diving into something that’s been a major theme in both my life and business: pivoting. And I don’t mean flaking or quitting—I mean real, soul-aligned shifts. We’re talking about those subtle (or sometimes seismic) changes that pull you out of autopilot and back into alignment with who you are now. I’m sharing my personal story of evolving from “professional job hopper” to licensed build...
In today’s episode of the Custom Built Podcast, I’m diving deep into what it really means to design your home with intention, function, and purpose. It’s not just about pretty countertops or trendy tiles — it’s about creating a home that works for your life and your family. I share personal stories (like my very scratched-up wood floors!) and give you practical ways to think beyond surface-level choices so your renova...
Hey, it’s Katie! In this episode of Custom Built, I’m talking all about change—how it can show up suddenly, flip your life upside down in a moment, or feel like it’s dragging its feet when you’re desperately ready for something to shift. This conversation was sparked during my network spinal entrainment (shout out to Ivy Chiropractic Studio!), where I had this moment of clarity: so much in my life has changed… and yet...
Hey, it’s Katie Go! In this episode of Custom Built, I’m diving into the age-old renovation question: Should I do it myself or hire it out? I’ve been seeing so many DIY wins on Instagram—especially from some badass women stepping into power tools for the first time—and I love that energy. But here’s what no one’s talking about: time. Sure, you saved a few hundred bucks, but how many hours did it take? What did it cost...
Hey, it’s Katie! In this soul-level episode of Custom Built, I’m sharing a really raw and real conversation inspired by some amazing women I met at a business conference. We talked about how often we sideline our own well-being to manage everyone else’s emotions—and y’all, it hit me hard. I dive into why happiness isn’t a checklist (house, marriage, job, kids) but a daily choice, and how boundaries, self-awareness, an...

Hey there, and welcome back to the Custom Built Podcast! Today, I’m diving into the tiny but crucial details in home design that often get overlooked—until it’s too late.

Hey, friends! In this quick but super important episode, I’m diving into homeowner’s insurance—because if you’re renovating or dealing with home repairs, this is something you need to have on your radar.

Hey friends! In this episode, I’m diving into a crucial but often overlooked step in designing your home—concepts. And when I say "we," I mean me and Samson, who insists on making an appearance today! A concept is just an idea—imperfect, unfiltered, but essential. Whether you’re dreaming of reworking an older home that no longer fits today’s lifestyle or tweaking a brand-new space that just doesn’t flow, the...
In this episode of Custom Built, I'm tackling a topic that really grinds my gears—designing your home for resale value instead of designing it for you. I get it, we’ve been conditioned to think about the next homeowner, but why should that dictate how you live in your space? From kitchen layouts to paint colors to loft beds that evolve as your family does (trust me, I’ve built a few!), I break down why making you...
Welcome back to the Custom Built Podcast! Today, we’re diving deep into something that’s been a game-changer for me—mindset and the power of words.

If you’re constantly expecting things to go wrong, guess what? They will. But when you shift your perspec...

We’ll cover how to stretch your budget wisely, avoid common financial pitfalls, and make sure you’re hiring the right co...

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s been a game-changer in my own life—boundaries. I used to think I was great at setting them, but turns out, I had a lot to learn! Boundaries aren’t just about saying “no” to others; they’re about saying “yes” to yourself. Whether it’s protecting your energy, standing firm in your values, or learning when to walk away, setting clear, unwavering boundaries is one of th...
