346 // Is Amazon ruining your home’s style? 5 Reasons to shop small businesses

Hey friend!

Let’s be honest—Amazon is fast. Target has everything. And when you’re juggling work, errands, dinner, and kids running in and out of the house all day, convenience feels like the biggest win.

But what if that convenience is quietly costing you more than just a few extra dollars?

In today’s episode, I’m sharing 5 eye-opening reasons why shopping small is actually worth it—even for the busiest moms. We’re diving into the less obvious trade-offs of big box shopping and the surprising wins that come from supporting small businesses, whether they’re online boutiques, your favorite local shop downtown, or that one talented maker on Etsy.

You’ll learn how shopping small can:

• Save you time, stress, and design regret in the long run

• Bring more soul, uniqueness, and personality into your home

• Help you feel more connected to your space and your community

• Support real people (not just algorithms)

• Build relationships (without the use of chat bots)

This isn’t about guilt or giving up every two-day delivery—it’s about reframing the way we decorate so our homes tell the stories we want to tell.

If you’re ready to make small shifts that lead to a home that feels more like you—without breaking the bank—this episode is your invitation.
