Inside today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what really happens when you stop decorating alone and start using a proven shortcut.

Here's what you'll discover in this conversation: How knowing your design style is like lifting a weight off your shoulders Why confidence (not more Pinterest scrolling) is the secret to decorating momentum How the right support saves you time, money, and frustration The ripple effect a beautifully pulled-together home has on your family life If you've been wondering whether The Collective is really worth the investment, this episode is proof that transformation is possible for you, too.   The doors to The Collective, close for the fall this Sunday, September 14th.

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. This conversation is proof that you don't need a fancy designer or endless resources to create a home that feels both stylish and welcoming. You just need the right framework and a little support along the way. If you've been stuck in the cycle of costly mistakes, overwhelm, or feeling like your home never quite comes together—this episode will inspire you to believe transformation is possible for you, too.   ✨✨ 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?

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.

A fourth-generation pâtissier, Thomas Haas was first introduced to the delicate art of hand-crafting chocolates and pastries in the kitchen of Cafe Konditorei Haas, opened by his great-grandfather in the Black Forest region of Aichhalden, Germany, in 1918. Thomas carried the torch and continued his family's long-standing tradition, apprenticing and working with top chefs in Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe en route to earning his stripes as Konditormeister, or Master Pastry Chef.  In 1995, Thomas was lured to Vancouver to take the role of Executive Pastry Chef at the Four Seasons Hotel, where he met his wife Lisa and twice placed in the top-three in the prestigious annual North American Pastry Chef of the Year competition in New York City. Thomas took an even larger bite of the Big Apple in 1998, when he moved to New York, and as Executive Pastry Chef, helped famed restaurateur and chef Daniel Boulud launch his flagship eatery, Daniel, in Manhattan's Upper East Side. During his time in Gotham, Thomas was singled out as one of the Top Ten Pastry Chefs in America by Chocolatier and Pastry Art & Design magazines and saw his star further rise when he made several appearances on Martha Stewart Living, and other international television shows. Today, Thomas and his wife Lisa own and operate Thomas Haas Chocolates & Patisserie in North Vancouver and the Kitsilano section of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. Instagram: @thaaschocolates Website: www.thomashaas.com In this episode we discuss how Thomas fared: Growing up in Germany as part of a pastry and baking dynasty Surviving an apprenticeship with a “crazy genius” pastry chef Honing his skills at a five-star property in Davos and a Michelin one-star restaurant in St. Moritz Fulfilling a dream by moving to the U.S. Snagging the job of a lifetime: Executive Pastry Chef at Daniel in NYC Learning lessons from Chef Daniel Boulud Opening his own business in Vancouver, Canada And much more!
