You Know How to Live

Today's guest of You Know How to Live is Maggie York! Maggie York is so many wonderful things- she's an interior designer, she's a social media influencer, she's a former client and a current close friend, she's a mom of four, she's a midwest gal, she's a farmer's wife, she's a force of inspiration. I am so so excited for you to get to know her and for this conversation on making your home work for you! You can connect with Maggie on Instagram to get incredible home and lifestyle inspiration and practical strategies for beautiful styling. In this interview Maggie talks about making your home work for you and making design and decor choices that support the way you want to live in the day to day, all household members accounted for. She shares how to know which home projects to tackle first and the most neglected room (that we really shouldn't ignore). We also discuss how to adjust your goals when they no longer serve you and how to accept that what works for you may not be what you *think* your life should like.

Season One of You Know How to Live drops Wednesday, November 3rd! Follow or add to your queue so you won't miss the launch! Does this sound familiar? Life is just so generously full of back to back challenge and grind. I mean how many times a day do we, if we're fulfilling our responsibilities, find ourselves up to our elbows in tasks we either can't stand or feel neutral about? We are so fascinated by people who seem to have it figured out, aren't we? And that doesn't mean we assume these people have perfect lives or that no harm comes their way- the tough stuff, the boring stuff- it's all wickedly inevitable. Yet, motivation is not the thing to chase. Spend five minutes paying attention to some of the greatest psychology and lifestyle influencers of our time and you will walk away knowing you cannot rely on motivation. Not for anything. Well, not for anything that lasts! So this is my hope for this show. I want to make it accessible to you- applied psychology, habit theory, and the very best anecdotal advice and insights with the vehicle of enjoyable conversation with the authors, experts and wizards who dare to suggest what will work if motivation won't. Hit whatever button you need to hit to get your reminder so that you can walk away episode after episode feeling like You Know How to Live! *** SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube (see it happen!) | Google | iHeartRadio | Stitcher | Amazon/Audible *** Connect with Kate on Instagram *** Produced with 32One Media Edited by Alex Davidson
