In today's color-drenched conversation, Rachel Mae Smith takes us on her journey from DIY crafting queen to full-on ambassador of living a boldly colorful life. She opens up about treating creativity as a daily practice (not just a hobby), navigating motherhood without losing her spark, and the behind-the-scenes magic of writing her book Colorful Living. Together, we explore why color matters - not just in your home, but in your mood, your memories, and your sense of self. Rachel shares why joy is a radical act, how our personal palettes shape our spaces, and why the world keeps pushing us toward beige everything. It’s an episode full of creativity, community, and permission to embrace your quirks, your color, and your own brand of happiness. Get ready to feel inspired...and maybe even rethink that beige sofa. We talk about:
♥ The role joy plays in living a vibrant life.
♥ The healing power of color & overcoming color fears.
♥ The beauty of cultural color differences.
♥ Why “slow decorating” might be the secret to creating a home that feels truly like you.
