In this episode of the She Designs podcast, hosts Desha Peacock and Christine Martin engage in a heartfelt conversation with Jilan Carroll Glorfield, the owner of Long Story Short, a boutique gathering space in Hudson, New York. Jilan shares her inspiring journey from childhood dreams of creating spaces to navigating the challenges of life, including the loss of her husband to Early-onset Alzheimer's disease. We dive into the importance of community, the power of intuition, and the beauty of choosing joy amidst adversity. Jilan's story serves as a testament to resilience and the transformative power of following one's passion.   About Jilan Carroll Glorfield A little bit wild and free, a little bit homebody. Undeniably rebellious, and a touch refined. A twist of rock+roll, a touch of ballet's pink. Obsessed with the patina of old houses, the pull of the sea, and the poetry in fleeting moments… Jilan Carroll Glorfield is devoted to an exquisitely integrated life—where family, home, passion, and livelihood blur into one seamless, intoxicating whole. Beyond her three beloved children and their family's ever-cheeky sidekick, Franklin, Jilan's greatest love lies in creating spaces that feel like a dream, gathering extraordinary humans inside them, and crafting experiences so immersive and intentional, they live on forever. Born in Center City Philadelphia, raised between there and the Florida Keys, then later bringing up her own family in Northern California, Jilan moves fluidly between the pulse of urban life and the peace of the natural world. A firm believer in the sheer magic of life – how breathtaking, precious, and fleeting it all is – she takes big, unapologetic bites out of this existence, grounded in high vibes and a love that runs fierce and deep. Her latest chapter, Long Story Short NY in Hudson, NY, is her newest love story, one stitched from (and dedicated to) her past, woven into everything still to come. It's a space alive with enchantment, alchemy, and layered storied collections, designed so that all who step inside become part of its ever-unfolding narrative. To connect about all things Long Story Short—boutique stays, film and photo shoots, retreats and workshops, niche events, or their delicious newest offering, 'MERCI', a magical three-day reset package focusing on deep self care.    Where to find Jilan Website: longstoryshortny.com Instagram: @longstoryshortny    Show Notes 00:00 Introduction to She Designs Podcast 01:39 Jilan's Journey: From Dollhouse Dreams to Reality 10:08 Navigating Life's Challenges: Love, Loss, and Resilience 20:05 The Leap of Faith: Moving to Hudson 35:09 Choosing Joy: Nuggets of Wisdom for Life's Journey   Join our community!

Welcome to the brand new episode of The Conscious Living Podcast… Today I am so delighted to feature International Retreat Leader, LifeSTYLE Design Coach, and Founder of Sweet Spot Style, Desha Peacock. Desha works with creative entrepreneurial women to upgrade their business and lifestyle. She is also the author of Create the Style You Crave and Your Creative Work Space. Peacock holds a master's degree from The School for International Training, is a certified Global Career Development Facilitator, and has led workshops and retreats across the globe.

Sometimes it's the simple little changes that make a HUGE difference in making our busy family lives feel a bit more manageable. I'm all about doable changes. Here are 15 lifestyle hacks from my podcast guests to transform your family's days.  #1. Do a 5-minute decluttering.  Overwhelmed by clutter or even the idea of decluttering? Try this tip from https://plansimple.com/declare-dominion-with-katherine-north/ (Katherine North): Set a timer for 5 minutes and see what you can clear in one area. Put dirty laundry in the hamper, backpacks in the closet, clear the coffee cup from your desk. This isn't the time to sort through papers or wash the dishes. Just clear space. #2. Cut down on how much stuff you have.  The two things I hear most from families is that they are two busy and that they have too much stuff. Too much stuff can keep us busy, so I love this tip from https://plansimple.com/parenting-simplified-with-kim-john-payne/ (Kim John Payne): Balancing and cutting down on how much stuff your child has (books, clothes, toys, etc.) can reduce pressure on your child and improve behavior. Start simply by cutting clutter to reduce the number of books, toys, clothes, gadgets and other extraneous items in a kid's room and around the house in general. #3. No inflow without outflow https://plansimple.com/turn-it-over-and-take-a-step-with-desha-peacock/ (Desha Peacock) believes in upgrading our lives. She suggests working with the idea that for something to come in, something else needs to go out. If something is worn or not your style anymore or just doesn't get used, trash it, donate it, or sell it to make room for things that you will use. (And if you are weighed down with stuff, start by simply making space before bringing anything new in.) #4. Create an outbox.  Decluttering can lead to other change, so I love this specific tip from Katherine North: Set up one space where anything that needs to leave your house—from library books to outgoing mail to a dish to return to your neighbor—goes. Put outgoing items in that one place, and when you leave the house check to see if anything needs to go with you. #5. Play with your kids.  https://plansimple.com/lead-by-example-with-christie-kenedy-manuel/ (Christie Kennedy Manuel) talks about a lot of the power of moving your body—how it can clear your head, make you more intentional, give you better sleep, and help you feel better. One way to add some movement into your day is to play with your kids. Instead of using playground time to do more on your phone, run around with your kids. Run around with them, play tag. Get active. It's good for you and for your kids—physically and for the fun and connected factor. #6. Block off time for what you value—and batch the rest. https://plansimple.com/consistency-with-marie-levey-pabst/ (Marie Levey-Pabst) advocates for making time for what we really value, but she gets that there is other stuff that just needs to get done. She suggests that you choose something you really value and create a block of time when you will do it. It doesn't have to be 20 hours a week, but maybe one or two hours, or half an hour a day. Mark it in your planner. Then keep that appointment. Turn off notifications on your phone and have that focused time. The stuff of life doesn't go away just because you have focused on your values. Batch like tasks and block off time for that. This could look like setting aside an hour to make phone calls for appointments and deal with papers or setting aside an afternoon to batch cook meals for the week. It could even look like setting aside every Thursday for family time. You'll know to say no to other engagements that day and if there are things you want to do—a movie you want to see or a museum you want to go to—you'll schedule it on family day rather than dither about when to go. #7. Systematize one thing.  Mama CEO and planning expert https://plansimple.com/focus-with-megan-flatt/ (Megan...

“I really let my heart lead.”  –Desha Peacock Have big goals that seem to go against the grain of the world around you? Listen up, because I'm talking with author, lifestyle design coach, and retreat leader Desha Peacock, who consistently builds a life that suits her dreams and creativity — even though it goes against the mainstream. We dive right into how she thinks about the life she's creating. It starts with her values, the top two being family and travel/adventure. Eight years ago, she quit her job, started a business, and pulled her daughter out of school and brought her to Mexico for a month. She talks about how she made that happen from the hard conversations with her husband to trading spaces — and about the synchronicity that happened from that trip and where it led her. We also get into the challenges we face as women when we try to take care of ourselves or follow our dreams if that involves leaving children. But how it backfires if we only take care of others. So how does she make the magic happen? We talk about:  Clarity of desire — what's the ideal situation you would love to happen Supporting practices like meditating to clear and let go, gratitude, asking for things, visualizing, plus how to turn things over to a higher power and also take practical action The four ways of being stuck: Stuck in the Muck, Lost Your Mojo, Creative Overwhelm, Out of Alignment, plus how to get out of creative overload (hint, it's not about choosing one thing) Getting ideas out on paper — and finding a good time for them in your calendar Email as a more effective business tool than Instagram and Desha's course to help people build their list Navigating family, a major launch, and the rest of life during cancer treatment BIO Desha Peacock is a published author, lifeSTYLE design coach & retreat leader. With a background in career development & intuitive sense of style, Desha helps women create their Sweet Spot: a self-defined place of success and beauty.Her first book Create the Style you Crave, was listed by the Huffington Post as one of the best books to buy your girlfriend & has sold over 10,000 copies. Her second book, Your Creative Work Space can be found in bookstores around the nation and online. Desha holds a Master's degree from The School for International Training, is a certified Global Career Development Facilitator & leads retreats across the globe.

Start by asking: What is the ideal situation I would love to happen? Don't shut down ideas because you don't know how it will happen. Just get really clear on what you truly desire. TURN IT OVER AND TAKE A STEP. Desha uses a combination of turning things over to a higher power. Say what it is you need your universal manager to figure out. Then take a practical step. Remember, you don't have to figure everything out to take each step. GET IDEAS OUT ON PAPER AND CALENDARED. If creative overwhelm resonates, this is a...

When did you first feel the tug to do something bigger and better with your business? To follow your dreams and bring your creative heart and strategic mind together to shape something extraordinary and magical that people love? On my latest podcast, I'm excited to be joined by the amazing Desha Peacock, International Retreat Leader, Lifestyle Design Coach, Author of two books - “Create the Style You Crave” and “Your Creative Work Space” - and Founder of Sweet Spot Style to discuss how we can design our life and business around our multiple talents, passions and skills to find our voice and reflect our true authentic and creative self. Pursuing the path you're destined to take in life might not be simple, but plucking up the courage to believe in yourself is half the effort for the journey. Desha has always wanted to help people, and helping women navigate their own paths was something she quickly realised was her goal. It was all she'd been searching for. Desha explains, "we are all born with an innate desire to creatively express the essence of who we are. This desire is embedded in our soul, a gift at birth, our own Northern Star in a galaxy full of the unknown. It's the one true thing we know we always have, regardless of the circumstances that surround us." It's up to us to look into ourselves and check if what we're doing and the path we're on is in line with our innate desire. And if we find we're not, we must do whatever we can to return to that core belief and live our lives at our full potential. In my latest podcast, Desha and I explore how YOU can be both a “dreamer” and a “doer”. It's not enough to dream big; you must also be ready to take action and upgrade YOUR lifestyle, live fully in your sweet spot and be your most authentic self.

It is easy to let papers pile up on your desk, and it is even easier to justify why cleaning them up is a task for tomorrow. If you could elevate your mood by moving the papers, would you? Desha Peacock, coach, award-winning host and TV producer, and two-time author, shares tips and tricks on how to upgrade our workspaces. 

This episode has a little bit of everything in it and that's because my guest, Liz Solms, is a multi-passionate person, to borrow a term from my friend, Desha Peacock.  She has built quite a rich and rewarding life for herself and I ask her about her career throughout our conversation.   I was interested in interviewing Liz because she has woven together food, hospitality and design in a way that we haven't talked about on the podcast before.  What I hope you come away with from this episode is the motivation to go look for creative inspiration from your travels, from sharing a beautiful meal with friends, or from taking the time to really notice the details in a historic building.  Because our ideas for decorating our homes can't just come from retailers!  They have to come from experiences.  Toward the end of the interview, we talk about her projects in Philadelphia and I had the absolute privilege of meeting Liz and staying in an apartment she designed while I was there. It's not just that it was beautifully designed.  Staying there was an experience in and of itself that has really made a lasting impact since my visit 3 months ago.   I have a lot of photos to share with you from this trip, so be sure to look for those on the show notes page of this episode at littleyellowcouch.com and I'll post some videos on Instagram and IGTV!  

Today on the podcast we have Desha Peacock. Desha is an international retreat leader, lifeSTYLE Design Coach and the Founder of Sweet Spot Style.

We will be touching on light, colors, wallpaper, Feng Shui and all the things that you need to focus on in order to be more productive and work in a space you truly appreciate. A workspace means different things to different people, depending on your personality and what you do. Desha’s job is not to be a “style guru,” but rather to help people think about what is important to them and what kind of workspace would inspire them. Whether you have a formal office space, work from home, or have a tiny corner in your room – Desha is going to help us create a space that will enable us to do our best work. Thank you for listening!

Desha Peacock had 40 jobs until she created her dream career as an entrepreneur. Today she balances writing books for creative small business people as well as coordinates retreats and speaking engagements to talk about turning your passion into profit. We sit down with the 42-year old to discuss her eclectic career path and ways to help budding professionals break through the noise and live their daydream. Tips and tricks: Ask yourself lots of questions to seek out what your dream career really is. From what makes you tick to what makes you feel stressed, these answers help you narrow down what you really want and don’t want from your work life. Financial stress kills creativity. Creatives can get caught up in the clouds with ideas. At the end of the day, don’t forget to follow the path that will also turn you a profit to make your dream actually work. Office style matters! Create a workspace that inspires you to get cracking every day. Think candles and fresh flowers to cute organizational tools and even essential oils.

For the first time, we are welcoming back a previous guest to the Style Matters podcast!  Desha Peacock has written a new book called "Your Creative Work Space" and we thought this would be a great time to check in with her.  If you do anything at all creative, whether it's with a paint brush or collaborative problem solving, you need to honor that work by creating space for it in your life.  We talk about how to get focused, how to eek out a space for yourself when you have no room or no budget, and how the traditional office might not work for our modern times.  We felt an immediate connection to Desha during our first interview with her because she so beautifully articulated why style matters.  So if you haven't already, give that one a listen, too!

On this episode of the Plan Simple Meals Podcast, I'm really excited to talk with Desha Peacock a lifestyle design coach who helps multi-passionate entrepreneurs who seek freedom, prosperity, travel, beauty and meaning create their sweet spot style. She works from her home in Vermont and is the mom to a 10-year-old. While Desha lives in Vermont, she knows that Vermont winters are not good for her mental health. She knew she desired warmer, sunnier winters—and she made it happen. We discuss how she uses visioning to manifest what she needs. (Not just those warm winters, but a cute and ridiculously affordable summer office space too.) So we talk vision, but we also get into some of the real logistics—how do you manage your schedule? What do you do with your kids when you need to run a retreat? How do you pull off professional when your family (or the dog) keeps interrupting? We talk about: The power of writing things down, whether it's appointments in your calendar, goals or dreams The idea of balance as a bigger picture strategy rather than something to strive for minute to minute within our day Using vision books to manifest what we want—and as a gratitude book Our favorite home systems and hacks to save time and avoid fights The importance of having your own sacred space in your home the nobody messes with How to declutter our homes—and our lives—by upgrading, whether it's new things or more earning Desha Peacock is an author, speaker, retreat leader and lifestyle design coach. She's helped hundreds of people find their “Sweet Spot”— a self-defined place of success and beauty. Her first book Create the Style you Crave on a Budget you can Afford, was listed in the Huff post as “the book to give your girlfriend” and sold out in less than 20 days. It is now in it's second printing. LINKS Desha's website: sweetspotstyle.com Connect with her on Instagram @deshapeacock Doable Changes from this episode:   WRITE DOWN GOALS & DREAMS. Is there a change you want to make in your life? Write it down. Whether it's a goal to lose some weight or a dream to travel more, writing it down—as if it is already real—helps. CLEAR YOUR HEAD. Writing things down also helps solidify even mundane things like when an appointment is or what's for dinner. When you put things like these, or your latest great idea on paper, you clear your head and make room for other things. UPGRADE TO MAKE SPACE. Work with the idea that for something to come in, something else needs to go out. If something is worn or not your style anymore or just doesn't get used, trash it, donate it, or sell it to make room for things that you will use. (And if you are weighed down with stuff, start by simply making space before bringing anything new in.)   REALLY getting healthy as a family can be a big lifestyle change. But no matter how insurmountable it may feel, focusing on one doable change at a time can help you take small steps toward your big goal. A healthy lifestyle is really made of lots of little things that when repeated regularly and added together over time make a huge impact on your life. Choose one Doable Change every Sunday night — one thing that you are willing to play with for the week. The key is to keep it doable and fun! Write that thing on a sticky note or your phone so you remember it. Then put 3 things on your calendar that support it. Choose from the changes above or download a list of 101 Doable Changes we made for you. http://plansimplemeals.com/101-doable-changes/ If you are as psyched as I am to grow veggies on a patio this summer and indoors all winter, you are going to want to check this out! I have watched friends have these for years, and am so excited to have my own!

Business school says launch a business by solving a problem or filling a need. TRUE. But after years in a corporate setting, the main need that Desha Peacock wanted to fill was personal fulfillment in her work. Did that count? Could she find her North Star? Would others want to be a part of her journey? Tune into the radio show “Entrepreneurial Voice” with Jan McCarthy that airs as a podcast to hear Desha share how she found her sweet spot and is helping others to find theirs.
