Every week, my inbox fills with questions — from the ultra-practical to the deeply personal.
What tile should I use?
How do I protect my budget?
What do I do when I feel stuck in my renovation… or my life?
In this very special Q&A-style episode, I’m answering your questions with the most honest, grounded, and sometimes surprising reflections I’ve ever shared.
We talk about:
- Why trusting your designer (and yourself) changes everything
- How to design authentically instead of copying what everyone else is doing
- What really happens when projects go off track — and how communication and compassion save them
- Why designers struggle to design for themselves (yes, even me)
- How your home affects your nervous system, energy, and sense of safety
- The real story behind the Designing in 5D process and how it protects your budget
- Why our concierge service was created — and who it’s for
- Livable luxury, longevity, and designing spaces that truly function for your life
We also dive into spiritual alignment and why no trend or aesthetic can fix a space that doesn’t feel safe, calm, or grounding.
Before we close, I leave you with a reflection:
What have you been resisting in your space, your habits, or your life that’s ready to shift?
If you’re preparing for a renovation, new build, or even just craving clarity, be sure to download our complimentary toolkits — including the Decision Confidence Toolkit — available on our website under Toolkits. These guides walk you through how to interview designers and contractors, protect your budget, and move forward with confidence.
This episode feels like a conversation with friends — the kind where you’re pouring a cup of tea and telling the truth.
If something resonated, send me a message on social media — my team will make sure I see it. And if you’re ready to create a space that’s intentionally designed for how you want to live, you can book a complimentary discovery call at https://elizabetherindesigns.com/contact/
Next week, we’ll be closing one chapter and opening another with a powerful intention-setting episode for 2026.
Until then — design a life you love, with intention, grounding, and just a little sprinkle of magic.
