Jay Sifford is an award-winning landscape designer based in North Carolina. Several of his garden designs have been featured in Fine Gardening, including a one-of-a-kind modern meadow garden and a series of beautiful, functional dry creek beds. Jay's immersive, naturalistic landscape designs are based around four cornerstones: art, magic, story, and horticulture. In this episode, Jay offers insights into the ways that these elements can be incorporated into a truly personal garden space. Jay sees this modern meadow garden as a stylized version of nature where fantasy and reality collide.  Grasses and perennials planted in large masses and punctuated with unique conifers give the meadow garden its unique appeal.  In winter, evergreens and grasses add structure and interest to the snowy landcape. Another view of the meadow garden at the peak of summer.  A dry streambed designed to manage stormwater doubles as a dynamic visual element.  Gravel pathways were the perfect solution for this pet-friendly landscape.  Every garden design that Jay creates includes a little bit of magic.

Today, I am thrilled to have Andrew Mitchell, from The Design Coach, here with me to convey the remarkable adventures and creative motivation he gained from his recent journey to Milan. Andrew and his group embarked on an unforgettable trip to attend the prestigious Salone Del Mobile Fair.   As designers, architects, and developers, we can often get immersed in our own habits and preferences when we're renovating or working in an interior design practice.

Are you on the verge of burnout and overwhelm? There are options for you as an entrepreneur who feels this way: you can quit, pivot, or pause. You are about to hear from a creative entrepreneur who left private practice in homeopathy after burning out, getting into a motorcycle accident, and being diagnosed with cancer at 58. Sometimes life whispers and other times shouts to get us to make some big life changes. Meryl Cook shares her story of how she came back and left her 20-year career behind and got into rug hooking. Oodles of hooking jokes abound. Color, texture, joy, and self-compassion define Meryl Cook's work as a fiber artist and writer in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. As an emerging artist, Meryl is becoming best known for her use of the Chakra colors and her Wild Woman series. Her current mediums are rug hooking, spinning, wet felting, and journaling. What began as a way of holding space for herself following breast cancer treatment has led Meryl to a career as an artist and writer, inspiring others to connect with their joy and sense of purpose. What makes her process unique is the ties between her writing and design. All her designs begin with her journal, where she writes and sketches about becoming the powerful, joyful, exuberant woman she was always meant to be.  Chakra color theory and a technique of tapping into the body feeling also influence her designs. Meryl works in her home studio in Dartmouth, overlooking the Halifax Harbour. She is a member of ART1274 Hollis Gallery. She is a Journal Council member of the International Association for Journal Writing (IAJW).  Meryl is the author of two books, One Loop At a Time, A Story Of Rughooking, Healing, and Creativity (2016), and One Loop at a Time: The Creativity Workbook (2017). Meryl is the chapter author of “Journaling and the Reinvention of the Self One Loop at a Time” in Transformational Journaling for Coaches, Therapists, and Clients edited by Lynda Monk and Eric Maisel (Routledge, 2021), and “Journaling and Design Inspiration” in The Great Book of Journaling: How Journal Writing Can Support a Life of Wellness, Creativity, Meaning, and Purpose, edited by Eric Maisel and Lynda Monk (Mango, 2022). In conclusion, if you're feeling overwhelmed and on the verge of burnout as an entrepreneur, it's important to remember that you have options. Whether it's quitting, pivoting, or pausing, taking action to prioritize your well-being and make changes in your life can lead to a more fulfilling and rewarding journey. Meryl Cook's story is a testament to the power of listening to life's whispers and shouts and embracing creativity and passion as a path to self-discovery and growth.  In this episode, you will these ideas expressed: Breaking free from overwhelm and burnout; don't ignore the early signs What Meryl learned after overcoming cancer about what she wanted The emotions behind pivoting especially after a two-decade-long career Insight: we know what we need as women yet turn to others for reassurance so we are not alone if we do this Ask yourself: what if I could do something marvelous? Meryl did after chemo How to unblock yourself using freewriting in a journal… Using curiosity to understand negative or tough emotions Imagining a goal happening and identifying the sensations you'd feel is a great way to filter ideas What's the best way to see if there is a market-product fit for art: market research or joy? Tapping into the feeling of joy and knowing what it feels like can be learned Ways to get unblocked as a creative entrepreneur Are you responsible for your client's results? Meryl shares how that led to burnout On making the mindset shift in believing that others including her grown children can be responsible for their results It's possible to avoid burnout as a creative entrepreneur – learn how Meryl is approaching her working with clients now  Are you on the verge of burnout?

Whenever you're feeling stuck, peruse Melissa's thoughtfully compiled tips and exercises and you'll be creating magic in no time.” – Suzy Batiz, Chief Executive and Visionary Officer, ~Pourri, The Makers of Poo~Pourri, supernatural, Alive OS® WHAT YOU GET: In this chapter, you will SEE what bringing a sense of curiosity, playfulness, and a willingness to dream for yourself can do for both you and your family.

REVIEWS: For moms like me, the pandemic was an opportunity to re-evaluate and course-correct things in our lives we weren't thrilled with. Coming out of this period, sluggish yet motivated, so many of us can use this book to help us wake up! If you're looking to refresh, reenergize, and yes, reimagine a better version of your life, this book is for you. I loved the hilarious, yet poignant stories about motherhood today and the window into the world of those who've gone for it – and did it. - Macollvie Neel, Brooklyn, NY This chapter is about getting in touch with your creative, playful, imaginative side. The part of yourself that perhaps felt freer before you became a parent, before you chose your identity and had a lot of responsibilities weighing you down. In helping you get in touch with your more playful, creative self, it not only helps you on a path toward greater happiness and fulfillment, but it also helps you to feel more fulfilled as a parent. – Mom/PR The words: imagination, play and fun are not the usual things we as mothers think of when wondering how to get a grip back on our career and I believe it provides a really fresh take and lots of food for thought for mothers reading it. I think that the tone is so energetic and fresh that it is why I would pick it up. – Latina Mom/Positive Psychology Coach Melissa is a mom of three with big dreams who tells it like it is. She draws on her own experiences and the experiences of professionals she's interviewed for her podcast to reflect on the plight of the mother. How do women conform to or challenge the traditional “mom script”? If you're a mom, what can you do to break the “cultural glass ceiling” to be yourself and a great parent, all without having to force yourself into a mom mold that doesn't fit you? Melissa is like a great friend, honest and wise and funny, telling you about her life and asking you to reflect on yours. This book is a great purchase for moms in every stage of life. – Aspiring Novelist, Librarian, Mom To Two Kiddos In her book, Melissa shows us that motherhood does not have to be a pause or an end of your pre-child self. With guidance from her podcast guests, she encourages us to think big, find what lights us up, think big, and move towards our goals with the steps that fit the reality of our lives as they are today. In doing so we honor and inspire our child(ren), and our own inner child. – Single Mom To A 12-Year Old Boy

Maggie and I talk about her prolific set of postcard designs at Travel Trinkets Canada. We, of course, also talk about Albert Pickle the 3rd, her very handsome Basset Hound, who is featured in a recent collection. You can find Travel Trinkets Canada on Etsy by clicking here. And you can find Magda's work on Instagram here. And as a bonus, you can see what I was saying about Albert dancing to the beat of his own drum by clicking here.

My guest today is Darcy Guttwein, author of "Hotels To Home: Living The Luxury Hotel Experience At Home."  But I don't think that title actually does the book justice.  Yes, we can steal some luxurious design ideas from fancy hotels, but Darcy goes so much further, excavating our deepest desires when it comes to what we really want our homes to do for us.  She's a traveler.  And so her backdrop for teaching herself, her kids and us, really valuable life lessons comes from her love of hotels.  She takes the experience of staying in a hotel to a level you've probably never thought of.  There are so many delightful gems in this episode, I think you're really gonna love it. The AnyQuestion App: Stop searching.... start asking.Ask a question, and get video answers from Experts in Health & Wellness, Sports, and more!

So you've tried Gutenberg, and you might like to or you might not! But one thing that you cannot really argue about is that it's got some room for improvement. During the last few release cycles there's been more and more talk about block patterns and how they're going to make WordPress website building more straightforward. Block patterns are a collection of blocks that have been built and saved away for future use. So think about a typical use case, you have a hero section of your website that you might use over and over again. You build it one time, adding in a variety of blocks, and once you're happy, you save it and then later you can add it into any other part of your website with the click of a button. But here's the problem. The block editor is still a little but, how shall we say it... fun to use. It's got some quirks and you might not find it as easy as you'd wish to get pixel perfect patterns. Step in Extendify. They have a suite of pre-made block patterns which you can use. It's really all about making life simple. They're all built on top of WordPress Core blocks so there's no lock in and you can use them to learn how to build your own block patterns.

We are so excited to have Kelli Lamb join us today. Kelli is the Editorial Director and Co-Principal of RUE, a print and multimedia interior design resource. Kelli regularly moderates panels and is a guest speaker at top design events around the country, like Design Camp in Los Angeles, High Point Market in North Carolina, and Design Week in Las Vegas. Kelli is here to talk about her unconventional start in design and her first book, Home with Rue, that comes out in May 2022. Join us as we dive into the evolution of RUE, Kelli's personal design inspiration, and her writing experience and thoughts about being a published author. IN THIS EPISODE:  [02:50] Kelli's unconventional start in the interior design world. [05:50] Rue Daily and where to find it. [10:18] Home with Rue: Where did the idea for the book start and the goal of it. [17:13] Kelli's favorite part of the book and the writing journey. [22:30] Home is a feeling: inspiration from Kelli's grandmother. [26:00] Closing thoughts and quotes. KEY TAKEAWAYS: It doesn't matter where you start in a career – even if you start at the very bottom, just keep putting yourself out there and you'll inevitably grow and move forward.  So many design books push the narrative that people have to change their homes or constantly follow new trends. Home With Rue highlights design choices from all different styles and affirms that design is about telling your story and the story of the people that live in your home.  Home is a feeling and the interiors of a home are meant to soothe and give peace and happiness. QUOTES: “How to parallel park: 1) park somewhere else.” – Anonymous “Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes … the ones who see things differently — they're not fond of rules ... you can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things ... they push the human race forward RESOURCE LINKS: https://www.amazon.com/Home-Rue-Everyone-Interior-Design/dp/1984860682 SPONSOR: This episode is sponsored by our go to acrylic framers – Wexel Art. The beauty of the Wexel Art Frames concept lies in the floating acrylic panel that makes art easy to install with magnets or metal standouts. Wexel allows you to frame your art or memorabilia using single or double paneled acrylic for a look that is just as pretty if not more so than acrylic framing. Wexel frames are a unique way to display photography, especially for those parents that take thousands of photos of their kids.  The changeable acrylic frames let them change out and show off their latest shots.  Wexel's custom design page lets you create your own size and assists with designing your wall.  We rely on Wexel for a lot of projects.
