#200: Holiday magic rarely arrives tidy, and that's exactly why this week felt so good. I switched my usual Nashville trek to host my aunt in Huntsville, crammed a work sprint into a pre-holiday marathon, and wrestled a nine-foot tree into a gold-and-pink glow that made the whole house exhale. One guest room makeover became a full-blown decor spiral—because once one corner shines, the rest of the house starts asking for equal treatment.We chased the Galaxy of Lights on a clear night, and my aunt—fresh from two knee replacements—crushed a walk through the botanical garden like a champ. The next day, we tested D-Box seats for Wicked and discovered that vibrating, tilting chairs plus a musical equals chaotic amusement with adjustable settings. Between laughs and leaning seats, I took her to my go-to Huntsville gems that feel like community: small rooms, familiar faces, and food that tastes like someone's watching over the details.Midweek, a family health scare turned us into advocates. Without airing private details, we sat at the table where care plans are decided and remembered how heavy it is when no one knows a patient's wishes. That's why I'm asking you to have the hard conversations now: CPR or not, intubation preferences, hospice versus rehab, who holds medical power of attorney, and where those documents live. Plans can change, but clarity spares families heartache when time is short. After a reset drive home, I did a double Thanksgiving—early with family, late with chosen family—and listened to my body when it said to sit down.Also, a PSA for the loyal listeners: I'm selling chairs, not retiring. The podcast room is getting a glow-up, and the stories aren't slowing down. If you love holiday recaps, cozy decor talk, candid health wisdom, and a little chaos with your cranberry sauce, you'll feel right at home here.

Let's revisit some characteristics of December energy because last week you were deep in Thanksgiving energy and you may have missed a few things I suggested planning. Do we all agree the energy has shifted? Even though the calendar still says November, we're all in December! After the Big Meal The dishes have been cleaned and the company has gone home. Now what? You have a couple of days before you return to your normal weekly routines. Now is the time to plan so you can be a proactive holiday person instead of reactive. This is the time to prevent stress and over spending. It's never about all the things we need to do. It's the order in which we do them, when we do them, and the energy we have when we do them. I want to start to focus on what needs to be done to set up this audience for success on Saturday and Sunday or these situations when we have unique pockets of time. Here's the plan to set you up for success as we go into December! Before You Unpack the Holiday Decor Let's plan decorating your home for December.  What does it look like, smell like, and taste like in your home during December? Remember how we asked our family what they'd like for Thanksgiving? Do the same for December.  My family told me it was all about lights for them. So a few years ago I just put up what I wanted and lots of lights.  I thought for sure they'd remember a certain item so I kept everything. But no. And the next year the same. But the dread I felt knowing I had tubs of decor I didn't want to use put a damper on wanting to decorate. After Christmas that second year of not putting out as much I convinced myself to donate all the extras…even childhood items. I felt an epic amount of guilt.  But that next year when I went to get out the decorations all I felt was relief!!  I went from trying to fulfill non-existent family expectations to minimally decorating to donating extras and decorating in record time. But now is the time or you'll blink and it'll be the Monday before Christmas!  And now is the time to shop! I shop now because the lists are ever changing. This prevents me from spending in September and December thus going over budget.  Lots of time the prices go down or you get better deals like bundles.  It's less time that I have to hide what I bought although this year Organize 365® is the delivery address of choice so I (and all employees) don't have to hide anything.  And this is the shopping energy season. Everyone else is shopping and I love to shop so naturally I want to be shopping too! This is also the time to stock up on cards and gift cards for global gifts for people like your babysitter, teachers, amazon delivery people, your house keeper, trash collectors, and etc. Winter Break This is the time of year I normally plan one big outing and a couple of smaller outings. You'll all be home and the kids will be looking for something to do and you probably don't want to spend a bazillion dollars. You can still sleep in, I am just encouraging you to plan something each day. Usually the most fun times come from someone planning it. You can plan an activity or goal each day. I shared how I planned my extra time in episode 683. I want you to revisit it and think about how you could best provide some self care? When the break is over you will feel like you made memories, accomplished a few goals, and ready for January.  EPISODE RESOURCES: Black Friday Sales Catalog Episode 683 - PTO Time Just for ME!

Happy Thanksgiving, DFW! In this week's episode, we're kicking things off with a very important holiday PSA: Do NOT fry your turkey indoors. Your house (and your fire department) will thank you. From there, we dive into a fun, heartfelt Thanksgiving conversation, the food, the family traditions, the way our homes shape the holidays, and why gratitude matters more than ever.

Dean reveals his famous 80-20 rule for holiday decorating: 80% of the wow comes from just 20% of the zhoosh – learn exactly where to spend your time and money for maximum impact. Then it’s a mindset shift: Stop decorating only the front of the house for the neighbors and start turning the back of your home (the part YOU see every day) into your personal winter wonderland. Dean and Brian debate garlands vs. wreaths, real vs. artificial, and how to make the holidays feel more about YOU and your family than impressing the guests.

We've all been there—buying a piece of furniture we thought we loved, only to realize it doesn't fit the space, doesn't match the rest of the room, or worse… it becomes an expensive regret...I call those BULLIES (or Decorating Dictators). Decorating mistakes don't just cost money—they cost time, energy, and confidence. In today's episode, I'm sharing 5 strategic ways to avoid costly decorating mistakes so you can decorate your home with clarity and ease. From sticking to your budget to understanding scale and weight, these tips will help you feel more confident the next time you shop for your home. Here's what you'll learn: Why honoring your budget keeps you from overspending or stalling out. How accurate measurements save you from frustrating returns and wasted money. The role of scale in making sure your furniture looks right in the room. Why the “weight” of an item matters for balance and flow. The most important key: learning your unique aesthetic so you can shop with confidence and skip the confusion, overwhelm, and frustration.

Have you ever looked around your home and thought, “Why doesn't this feel like me?” Or maybe you've made decorating choices that cost more than you'd like to admit—only to regret them later. You're not alone. In today's episode, I'm sitting down with a member of The Collective who has walked that very path. When she first started, her home felt disjointed, and every decision felt heavy, overwhelming, and expensive. But with the right tools, guidance, and clarity, everything shifted. Now? She's confidently making decorating decisions, creating a cohesive home she genuinely loves, and even getting compliments from friends and family when they walk through her door. The best part—she's doing it all without blowing her budget or second-guessing every choice.

Have you ever looked around your home and thought, “This room just feels…boring”? You know it has potential, but you're not sure how to make it come alive with personality and warmth. That's exactly where my student Dee found herself with her den. Inside The Collective (my monthly decorating membership), she shared her desire to transform her plain space into one that feels extremely cozy and filled with character. In today's episode, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at her Room Edit—a one-on-one coaching moment that will help you see how just a few strategic design moves can completely change the feel of a room. You'll hear how I guided Dee to: Color drench her den for instant coziness and drama. Layer in ambient lighting to create warmth and mood. Add built-in bookshelves styled with intention, giving her space personality and charm. If you've ever wondered how to take your “blah” room and turn it into a space you love being in, this Room Edit will inspire you to look at your own home with fresh eyes. ✨ Want coaching and help like this for YOUR home?

We all have those “What was I thinking?!” moments when we look back at how we decorated our first home—and today I'm pulling back the curtain on mine. In this episode, I'm sharing the top 3 mistakes I made when I first started decorating—and how you can avoid falling into the same traps. From ignoring the foundation of the space (hello, clashing wood tones) to rushing through the process without a plan, these missteps cost me time, money, and confidence. I'll also be talking about something so many of us skip: decluttering before decorating—and how buying storage solutions too soon can actually make things worse. If you're decorating your first home—or you feel like you're still trying to get it right even after years—this episode will help you pause, rethink, and decorate with purpose. What you'll learn: ✨ Why your floors and wood tones matter more than you think ✨ The cost of decorating without a plan or palette ✨ What to do before you buy baskets, bins, or organizers This episode is for you if: — You feel like your home still doesn't feel “right” — You've made purchases you regret — You're starting fresh and want to avoid costly mistakes Grab your coffee and let's talk real decorating lessons—so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and a plan.   ✨✨ ANNOUNCEMENT ✨✨ Join me for a 3 day FREE LIVE training: 3 Steps to Creating a Home you Can't Stop Gushing About September 9 - 11  9am PT | 10am MT | 11am CT | 12pm ET  Can't make it LIVE?
