At Hunker, we believe “home†means more than just where you live; it’s an expression of your identity, the place where you are most yourself. Being Home With Hunker is a podcast where, each week, Hunker editorial director Laurie Gunning Grossman chats with designers, artists, and creatives in the spaces that express and shape their identities: their homes. We talk about topics such as: How do their homes tell their story? What holds value? What are their non-negotiables? What does “being home†mean to them? If you love design and decor, if you’re curious about how people live, or if you’ve been transitioning or transforming your own home, you’ll love these honest conversations. For more info, visit Hunker.com/podcast.
Today on the show we have Alejandra Brady, a biophilic designer, feng shui expert, interior designer, and author. Alejandra explains how these three modalities — biophilic design, feng shui, and interior design — support each other in the world of home design and decor.In this conversation, you'll learn about biophilic design, which Alejandra describes as the modern feng shui. It's about bringing nature back into the manmade environment.She shares actionable tips on how to implement biophilic design within your home — no matter your budget or where you live.Alejandra also shares tips on how to amplify the wealth and career areas of our homes through the trifecta of, you guessed it, feng shui, biophilic design, and interior design. She has great ideas on how the items we use in these spaces can do double or triple duty, covering all the bases of these three modalities. Also, you'll want to hear what she doesn't recommend we keep in our career center; she shares ideas for beneficial crystals to place under our pillows or beds; plus, she tells us her top three favorite feng shui cures she uses wherever she goes.LEARN MORE ABOUT ALEJANDRA G.

Today on the show we have Meg Golightly, home organizing expert, and founder of Simplified. For Meg, home organizing is not just about putting things in their place. She says, "My interest in home organization has evolved from a lifelong fascination with how our brains work reinforced by my degree in psychology and my ongoing interest in neuroscience.” She believes we all have reasons as to why we hang on to things. And everybody struggles with clutter. Everybody. However, there's a cost to clutter. And that we can't get to where we want to be until we let go. And so, Meg does more than just show us how to organize — she goes deeper. There's one important step she believes we all must do before we organize, and she shares it in this conversation. She also offers tips on where and how to start in the organizing process, as well as the three questions she has her clients answer before starting the organizing process. We also talk about how find her favorite organizing tools; why she creates “towns” for her stuff at home; and finally, she shares expert ways to organize a pantry. We all know how much we love seeing a well-organized pantry! If you're ready to make space in your home — both literally and figuratively — this conversation for you.

Today on the show, host Laurie Gunning Grossman talks with feng shui expert Kristina Hollinger. Kristina is a feng shui consultant and author — and she's the host of the podcast Feng Shui With Kristina Hollinger where's she's focused on helping people expand their manifesting toolbox. Kristina says that she is dedicated to helping you design the life you deserve. We wanted to have Kristina back on the show to talk specifically about feng shui for families — and how we can use feng shui to help foster harmony within the home. Kristina talks about how there are areas of our home that signify areas of our lives. Almost like a mirror to each other. We talk specifically about the Family area — how to identify it (where it's located in your home) and how to bolster this area through specific feng shui cures. In other words, if you want to strengthen and support family relationships, there are some simple yet effective things you can do in the form of decor and design. And Kristina shares these ideas with us. We were also curious about how to use feng shui in other areas of our homes that we don't have total control over, such as our kids' rooms. Kristina has some great advice around what to do when maybe we can't completely control the decor or the clutter in these important areas. You will also love hearing how — and why — Kristina and her family write their intentions on their walls; ways that we can clear and uplift the energy in our spaces; and what to focus on if you were to do just one thing to create greater harmony in your home.

Today on the show I am talking with Nate Berkus, celebrity interior designer, best-selling author, and host of HGTV's “The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project.” We've seen evidence of Nate's talent ever since he came into the public eye in 2002 after his first appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Nate knows design, and he knows how to elevate a home. As he says, he cares deeply about living beautifully. And, lucky for us all, he's just released a brand-new collection called Nate Home. As he says in our conversation, he's “standing on the edge of a cliff,” with his return to bedding, bath, and (a new category), home organization Why a cliff? Well, because as Nate shares, this is the first time he isn't partnering with a single retailer. Through his partnership with mDesign, his goal was to make this new collection available to everybody – and he's made true to that goal: Nate Home is available at Amazon, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and more. We also talk about the two foundations of design that matter to him; he shares the tangible things that can help express the stories of the people living in a home; he talks about how he's become a better designer since becoming a father; and he shares why having an organized home is so important – and he gives us two expert organizing tips to try. Finally, we talk about his marriage to designer Jeremiah Brent and their two children – how sharing his life not only as a designer, but as a family man, is so important. To him and his husband, visibility matters.

Today on the show we have Aya Kanai, Head of Editorial and Creative for Google Shopping.Did you know that people shop with Google more than 1 billion times per day? This is one of the many reasons why I was thrilled to talk with Aya (formerly an editor/director in fashion and beauty) because she has an inside look at shopping trends and habits for 2023 in the home decor and design space, and beyond. It's interesting to hear what people are searching for right now – and what's important to them when deciding where they want to put their money (especially for Gen Z and Gen Alpha). In this conversation, Aya offers insight on the Google shopping experience, including Google's tools and filters such as 3D imagery and AR. Doesn't the idea of taking 3D imagery of furniture and putting it in your space to see how it looks in your home or backyard before you buy sound so helpful? Aya shares some personal thoughts on her own home, including her decor style; what she can't live without and what brings her great joy when she's at home; and what she loves most about New York City. Aya and I agree that how we shop for ourselves – what we choose to put in our homes or on our bodies – is not just about buying things to amass stuff; it's about purchasing products that help express who we are in the world. Every shopping decision we make is an opportunity to create, support, and tell our personal stories.LEARN MORE ABOUT AYA KANAILinkedIn: @ayakanaiInstagram: @ayakanai OTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKEBeing Home With Interiors Expert and Author (Hilary Robertson)Being Home With an Interior Designer Transforming Old Homes (Victoria Sass)Being Home With a Popular HGTV Interior Design Star (Leanne Ford)Being Home With Etsy's Trend Expert (Dayna Isom Johnson) CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?

Hi — I'm Laurie Gunning Grossman, host of Being Home With Hunker. For this last episode of the year, I wanted to replay a conversation I had with interior designer, HGTV star, furniture designer, and author Leanne Ford about the launch of her new print magazine, Feel Free.So why this particular podcast conversation?As we enter into the new year, many of us have dreams, goals, and intentions of things we want to create or experience in the year ahead.It's a moment of great momentum—and I think that what Leanne represents, and what her magazine represents, is the freedom that comes when we give ourselves permission to take chances, to say yes, to be okay with not being perfect. Like, it's okay to make mistakes … as long as we're trying.As she says in this conversation, “What's this perfection thing we're all aiming for?" She says, “Raise your hand if you've done it. Who's perfect? So let's just cool it.” She goes on to recite a quote from the John Steinbeck book East of Eden which is, "Now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good." So, if you've wanting to try something new or to take a chance on an idea that you've been sitting on, no matter what it is, listen to this episode. It's pure inspiration. And then, after you're done, take one step in that direction of your dream or creative idea.LEARN MORE ABOUT LEANNE FORD AND FEEL FREE MAGAZINE Website: LeanneFord.comInstagram: @leannefordinteriorsFeel Free on IG: @feelfreeBuy the Magazine: FEEL FREEBuy Leanne's Book: Work in Progress OTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKELeanne Ford: Design Your Home to Enjoy It Now (Don't Wait)Sarah Sherman Samuel: Handmade Items Add Value to Our HomesRachel Moriarty: A Maximalist's Approach to Colorful Home and LifeJennifer Pastiloff: Manifesting Her Home in Her Happy Place CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?

Today on the Being Home With Hunker podcast, host Laurie Gunning Grossman is talking with Lauren Haynes, the founder of Wooden Spoon Herbs.If there's one thing that Lauren knows, it's herbalism. She started delving into the world of herbs years ago through tinkering, and trial and error before she created Wooden Spoon Herbs. She started in her Tennessee kitchen and sold her products at an Appalachian Mountain farmers' market stall – and then over the course of years, her company grew. Lauren has said that she has always found nourishment in nature, and that when it comes to plants, she sees possibility; she sees the mystical aspects of them, and their art form. Lauren believes that herbs are a powerful adjunct to conventional medicine. In this conversation, she shares ways that we can boost our wellbeing as we move into a new year. We talk about her time living in the Appalachian Mountains in a rural town, her thoughts on wildcrafting (which is harvesting from the wild), and how we can use indoor plants for medicinal or nutritive reasons. Be sure to listen to the end of this episode where we'll share a code for you to receive 15% off your order at Wooden Spoon Herbs.

Today on the Being Home With Hunker podcast Laurie Gunning Grossman is talking with cheese and charcuterie board experts, Sarah Simms and Boo Simms Hendrix from Lady & Larder.Lady & Larder is a boutique cheese shop in Santa Monica, California. If you're unfamiliar with their boards, you really need to go to their website and to see their cheese, charcuterie, fruit, and vegetable boards, which are true pieces of edible art.Sarah and Boo, who are twin sisters, grew up in the world of hospitality and in a family who connected over cooking and sharing meals. Now with Lady & Larder, they say that they're storytellers — the way they sell cheese is by telling the stories of the humans who made them. For them, this is a huge piece of the pie.In this conversation, they share expert tips on how people can build their own cheese and charcuterie boards, including how much food you'll need, and why it's important to source locally and seasonally when possible. They also share some thoughts on pairings — which drinks pair best with certain cheeses, and the board trend that they are excited about right now.Oh, and we also touch upon a hot button topic: how we should be wrapping and storing our cheese.

It's the season of giving and I've been thinking a lot about thankfulness.Gratitude, what we're personally grateful for, is different for each of us — because we each have our own life experiences, our own lens on how we see our world, both macro and micro.But why is expressing our gratitude daily so important or helpful?According to Harvard Health, giving thanks can make you happier. That in “positive psychology research, gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.”Perhaps you've heard that saying: “What you appreciate, appreciates.”Or, where your attention goes, energy flows.So, it makes sense as to why focusing on the things we're grateful for is powerful.I'm often curious what fills a person with appreciation – because within that I find inspiration. And so, for this podcast episode I reached out to some of our past guests to find out what they are grateful for, and I'm sharing it here with you.

“Feng shui is happening whether you endorse it or not, whether you believe it or not. Because if you have stuff, if you have space, it is happening all around you. So, it doesn't care whether you believe in it or not. And again, this is my invitation, get curious about where your house can help you out, because it can.” -- Amanda Gibby Peters Today on the show we have feng shui expert Amanda Gibby Peters.Amanda is the creator and founder of Simple Shui and has been teaching feng shui techniques for over a decade. This includes teaching people how to become their own feng shui consultant, and her House Therapy Certification Program which empowers people to see their homes as living, breathing entities. Basically, she's training us to see our homes as another family member! In this conversation, we talk about how everything is energy, and everything is connected – this includes what we have in our homes or what's happening in and around our homes. These things affect us. Do you have leaks? Clutter? Something broken? Amanda encourages us to look at how these things are affecting us in other ways, such as financially, with our health, our relationships, our career… you get what I mean. Amanda is here to drop some serious feng shui knowledge, tips, and advice – you'll definitely come away with something tangible to help elevate the energy in your space and therefore in your life as well.

This past October, host Laurie Gunning Grossman (@laurie.gunning.grossman) welcomed Nina Freudenberger to Hunker House in Venice, CA for a live recording of the Being Home With Hunker podcast.Nina is no stranger to the podcast. We first had her on the show in 2021, and after that conversation ended, we realized that had even more questions we wanted to ask her. So, we were delighted when she agreed to come back to Hunker, yet this time IRL and in front of a design-loving group.If you scroll through Instagram or Pinterest, chances are you've seen Nina's books “Surf Shack” or “Bibliostyle” styled on a coffee table or bookshelf. (Her third book on mountain houses will be available in fall 2023.) As the founder of Freudenberger Design Studio, she is known for her impeccable taste seen through her residential and hospitality projects. (We highly recommend a visit to White Water Cambria or San Luis Creek Lodge if you're in California!) Nina is a wealth of information and inspiration for anyone who loves design, wants to write design books, or is interested in an interior design career or side hustle.

On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host Laurie Gunning Grossman (@laurie.gunning.grossman) talks with Hawaiian light seer Kimo Kepano.On Kimo's Instagram and TikTok accounts, Kimo has been commenting on videos that feature paranormal activity — people seeing ghosts, knives flying through kitchens, hair being pulled when no one is in the room… you name it. He does these blind reactions where he watches videos that people send to him and then tunes into whether it's truth or fiction. And you guys, some of these videos really are true. (Like the knife being thrown across the kitchen by spirit energy!)As a light seer, Kimo can see what a lie looks like. This is how he knows if these ghosts videos are real or fake. He says that lies literally look like something — the colors are different, they have a different vibration — and so does truth. So Kimo can see it, hear it, and feel it. How cool is that?!Kimo explains more in this conversation and shares some real spooky stories (as well as a sweet spirit story), so you'll want to listen all the way through!LEARN MORE ABOUT KIMO KEPANOWebsite: TheLightSeer.comInstagram: @alohalightseerTikTok: @thelightseerOTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE Being Home With Hawaiian High Seer (Kimo Kepano)Being Home With Pet Communicator & Psychic (Nikki Vasconez)Being Home With the High Priestess of Brooklyn (Alex Caiola)Being Home With a Channeler and Psychic Medium (Natalie Miles) CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?

On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host Laurie Gunning Grossman (@laurie.gunning.grossman) chats with interiors stylist Hilary Robertson. Hilary is an interiors expert — so that means that she's involved with creative direction, art direction, interior styling, product development (have you seen her gorgeous chain links you can find online at Bloomist?!)… and she is an author of five books, including “Monochrome Home” and her latest “Nomad at Home” which examines the influence of travel on home design. Her client list is vast, and includes Crate & Barrel, West Elm, Town and Country, Vogue Living, and Metropolitan Home, to name a few.And in addition to all those “hats” that Hilary wears, she is also the style director for Leanne Ford's new magazine FEEL FREE. (If you want to know more about that magazine, listen to the latest interview with Leanne Ford.)In this conversation, Hilary talks about her work with FEEL FREE, her latest book “Nomad at Home,” the impact of travel in her life, and her styling rules.

On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host @laurie.gunning.grossman chats with Leanne Ford. You most likely know Leanne as an interior designer, or as an HGTV star (Restored by the Fords and Home Again With the Fords), or as furniture designer in partnership with Crate & Barrel. But now Leanne has a new title to add to her name: print magazine creator.Leanne recently launched a quarterly print magazine on art and home design called Feel Free. If you follow Leanne, you'll agree that this name is just so fitting for who she is and what she represents.In This Episode We Talk About: The FEEL FREE magazine — what Leanne also calls a workbook — with the hope that people write on it, rip on it, put it on their wall, and get it messy!Creating the magazine to expose people to artists, art, and to inspire people to live freely. (Because being perfect just isn't a thing.)The generosity of the artists who shared their artwork with Leanne to feature in the magazine (and for all of us to rip out!) – along with their tips on how to create art.This magazine is for everyone, no matter what you want to create, whether it's curating an online shop or writing that book you've been dreaming of.Where Leanne gets her biggest inspiration (hint: it's not design).How the freedom to create is contagious.How her 3 ½ year old daughter is in her prime creative time — and how inspiring it is to Leanne. (And how her launching her magazine is no surprise that it's aligning with her daughter's creativity.) How much her spiritual life plays into her creativity, and how what she creates does not dictate her worth.Working with interior stylist and author Hilary Robertson, who is the Style Director at FEEL FREE.

On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host @laurie.gunning.grossman is talking with The Brownstone Boys.The Brownstone Boys, otherwise known as Jordan Slocum and Barry Bordelon, are interior designers, DIY-ers, and renovators of historic brownstones in Brooklyn, New York. They share in this episode that after they purchased their first home together — which, yes, was a brownstone —they started a blog and Instagram account about their renovation process. What started as something to share with family and friends quickly turned into them helping other people renovate their brownstones. So, they did what anyone else would have done! They quit their corporate jobs and became the Brownstone Boys.Jordan and Barry talk about their passion for preserving original details when renovating brownstones. They say that craftsmanship is very important to them and that their biggest goal is restoring the way brownstones used to be made.They also discuss the definition of a brownstone, they share tips for anyone about to embark on a renovation, no matter they style of their space, and they suggest the two biggest things everyone should talk to their contractors about at the start of any project.Finally, you'll hear them share on how history has unfolded — meaning, the things they've discovered — when they've opened walls during some of their renovation projects.LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BROWNSTONE BOYSWebsite: Thebrownstoneboys.comInstagram: @brownstoneboysYouTube: BrownstoneBoysOTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKEBeing Home With Very Gay Paint, Muralists & ComediansBeing Home With Leanne Ford, Interior Designer and HGTV StarBeing Home With Trisha Sprouse, DIY Home Decor ExpertBeing Home with Leeway Home's Sam Dumas and Lyle Maltz, Dinnerware Designers CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?

On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host Laurie Gunning Grossman (@laurie.gunning.grossman) is talking with Anna Gragert, Senior Lifestyle Editor at Hunker (an home design and decor online publication).Anna knows a thing or two about Costco. As the senior editor of lifestyle and design content, one topic that seems to captivate the Hunker audience is anything that involves Costco, everyone's favorite wholesale store. In a nutshell, if you're unfamiliar with Costco, this store has food, clothing, furniture, alcohol, electronics – you name it, they have it or have had it at some point. And they have it in bulk. After all the articles that Anna has researched, written, and edited about Costco (with her team of writers), it's safe to say Anna is an expert on all things Costco. In this conversation, we discuss how she and her team identify what's trending at Costco, the secrets she's learned about how to spot deals and other perks, and whether a Costco membership is actually worth it. We also hear about the psychology behind why people spend so much time in Costco. Costco has a sneaky shopping strategy. It's fascinating!

On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host @laurie.gunning.grossman talks with Robin Games founder and CEO Jill Wilson.If you're wondering about the connection between mobile gaming and home design and decor, Robin Games focuses on new genre of mobile gaming called Lifestyle Gaming — beginning with their debut of PLAYHOUSE, an interior design-focused mobile game. Basically, you're stepping into a moodboard where you get to design spaces with beautiful art and decor. Lifestylist enthusiasts, this is a game for you. And if you don't think of yourself as a gamer, Jill and her women-led Robin Games team are here to challenge your perception of a gamer.In this conversation, Jill discusses her passion for providing more opportunities for women in the game industry; the love of games that she's had for her entire life; and of course, we get into how to play PLAYHOUSE: think designing spaces, getting feedback, rewards, and advancing to more projects.If you love making spaces look beautiful, and, as Robin says, putting pretty things in pretty places, listen to our chat, and then go download the app and get to designing. It's a fun, relaxing escape that'll keep you inspired.LEARN MORE ABOUT JILL WILSON AND ROBIN GAMESWebsite: RobinGames.comInstagram: @playrobingames | @comeplayhouseDownload the App: PLAYHOUSE: Design GameOTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKEBeing Home With a Prop Stylist (Robin Zachary)Being Home With Everhem Founder & Window Treatments Expert (Haley Weidenbaum)Being Home With Professional Home Organizer Life in Jeneral (Jen Robin) CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?

“It could even be like a passive diffuser which means just putting a few drops on a cotton ball and leaving it around the room or putting a drop on a pillow on your couch, you know, and have it diffuse that way.” — Amy Galper on ways to use essential oils in our home. On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host @laurie.gunning.grossman talks with aromatherapist expert, author, and teacher Amy Galper. Amy is the founder of the New York Institute of Aromatherapy (the first aromatherapy school in New York City) and is a consultant in the clean beauty and wellness space. In addition to her Aromatherapy Certification Program called “Aromatherapy in Action,” Amy is the author of the “Ultimate Guide to Aromatherapy” and co-authored “Plant Powered Beauty.” It's safe to say that Amy knows essential oils. In this conversation, Amy talks about the power of aromatherapy and how our sense of smell has a profound effect on our health and wellbeing. We talk about the essential oils and ways to use them in the bedroom (for relaxation and sleep), the kitchen (specifically in cleaning products) and our work desks (for focus and energy). IN THIS EPISODE WE ALSO TALK ABOUTThe importance of using 100% plant-based natural essential oils.Aromatherapy diffusers and where (and where not) to use them.Aromatherapy oils she uses according to the seasons.How aromatherapy triggered her desire to simplify her life and to use plant-based ingredients (which meant detoxifying her home and decluttering).How we can start paying attention to our own smelling abilities.

On this episode, we're sharing @laurie.gunning.grossman's chat with Rachel Moriarty in this “best of” conversation. Rachel is an award-winning, color-loving, San Diego-based interior designer. And when we say color loving, we mean it. Take one look at her Instagram page or her website and you'll know what we mean. She describes her style at colorfully coastal, and as she says, this either magnetizes people to her or repels them. If you don't love color, you need not apply! You'll hear Rachel talk about how she works with her ADHD to tap into her creativity, the path that led her into interior design, and how The Grateful Dead plays a part in her home decor. She's been featured on HGTV and The Design Network and does Visibility Coaching for fellow interior designers on brand strategy.

I'm thrilled to share again my chat with Jill Wintersteen in this “best of” conversation. Jill is a spiritual teacher and founder of Spirit Daughter, an astrology and wellness brand. I personally turn to Spirit Daughter for their beautiful crystals, Moon workbooks, gratitude journals, and manifestation cards. All these products are a part of my spiritual practice. Although we recorded this episode at the top of 2022, I wanted to share it again because Jill offers evergreen advice on how to manifest a home, why setting our vibration first thing in the morning with a gratitude practice can change our entire day, and specific crystals that can help support us in our home, offering protection, abundance, and prosperity.

On the Being Home With Hunker podcast host @laurie.gunning.grossman chats with plant enthusiast and plant consultant Stephanie Horton, otherwise knowns as Botanical Black Girl.Stephanie makes caring for houseplants feel so effortless. As she says, she loves plants because they're “chill.” She has such a relaxed approach to caring for greenery. In this conversation, Stephanie talks about how she is moving away from being a plant collector, and instead calls herself a plant enthusiast. Although, many people refer to her as a plant consultant—she helps others discover how they can get their plants to thrive and stay alive. Here she shares how it's important to know where your indoor plants originate from before you bring them into your home; how to deal with negative self-talk around your ability to care for plants; and the best plants to have in the kitchen, the bathroom, and the bedroom. We also talk about which plants are on her bucket list; greenery that work best in modern decor, or which ones to add when you want a lush feeling in your home; and she shares ideas on propagation — it's something she loves doing with her plants. If you're feeling timid about indoor plant care or how to get started, Stephanie's helpful advice that will make it all feel more manageable to you. By the end of this conversation, you'll be ready to add some new plants to your space!
