This week on Simply Authentic, we're diving deep into the world of home inspections—what they are, why they matter, and how to make sure you're getting the most out of one. Our guest is Austin Sickmyre, owner of Complete Inspection, who brings years of experience and insight to the conversation.
Did you know that home inspectors aren’t licensed in Missouri? That’s why it’s crucial to work with professionals who hold national certifications and stay up-to-date through continuing education. Austin breaks down what sets a great inspector apart and why most come from backgrounds in key trades like plumbing, electrical, or roofing.
We cover who really needs a home inspection (hint: it’s everyone buying a home), what’s included in the process, how it protects the buyer, and what happens if something concerning is found. Plus, Austin shares one of the wildest things he’s ever encountered on the job—you won’t want to miss it.
Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or just curious about the inspection process, this episode is packed with valuable insights and real-world stories that might just save you thousands.
And……stay tuned to the very end. This week’s episode includes a bonus!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
