Wi-Fi being what it is, sometimes it slows down and things get glitchy – shows stop streaming, games glitch out and other weird things seem to happen. Wouldn't it be great if you could prioritize which devices in your house get first dibs on the bandwidth? Well actually there is a way. This episode begins with an explanation of how to do it. https://www.popsci.com/diy/prioritize-devices-on-your-wifi-network/ What is the difference between joy and happiness? They are definitely not the same thing. You can make the case that joy is what creates happiness. There is so much to joy and those special moments in life that create it, that it is worth understanding how joy works. For instance, there are things that are universally joyful around the world. Things like balloons and bright colors bring joy to virtually everyone. Ingrid Fetell Lee is an expert on joy and has a blog called The Aesthetics of Joy (https://aestheticsofjoy.com) . She is also author of the book Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness (https://amzn.to/3a4f8GM). She joins me to discuss how we can all bring more joy into our lives and why it is so important to understand the science of joy. Most of us spend more time on our electronic devices than we realize – way more time. The statistics are staggering. What's worse is that all the time you spend on your phone or other devices is time you are NOT spending doing something else and not spending time with other people. Joseph McCormack has studied this, and he is author of a book called Noise: Living and Leading When Nobody Can Focus (https://amzn.to/3cbgeTS). Listen as he explains the ways technology has become a “weapon of mass distraction” that negatively impacts our lives. He also then offers some simple strategies to help combat the problem. Do you rinse off all the food from the peanut butter jar and other recyclables before you put them out for collection? Should you? Do you have to? Listen as I explain just how clean it has to be and how some recyclables (like pizza boxes) actually can't be recycled. https://residentialwastesystems.com/blog/do-i-have-to-rinse-my-recyclables/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

Welcome to Home, Addressed! In this episode, we tackle defining what we call "core colors" and how to start creating a design plan for your next project. If you'd like to nerd out on learning about color, I highly recommend these books: Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Exordinary Happiness by Ingrid Fetell Lee Living with Color: Inspiration and How-Tos to Brighten Up Your Home by Rebecca Atwood Here are the 3 takeaways from this episode: 1. Figure out your core colors (the colors you're most drawn to in inspiration photos, interior decor, and even from your closet). This will help you narrow down to using colors that most reflect you. 2. Figure out your "starting point" for the room—a focal piece of art or a rug—and let it guide your color palette. Be your own interior designer and create mood boards to see how items look together (Canva is a great resource for this). Take advantage of existing tools to play around and grow your confidence. 3. Make a list of everything you need in the space (include any professionals you'll need to hire) and start setting a budget for how much you want to spend. Schedule time to discuss with your partner so it stays high on the priority list.

Feng Shui and design are complementary disciplines, not equivalent ones. Here are 3 common ways Feng Shui gets side-stepped by homeowners + business owners, with some tips in the episode to help you course-correct for each. Prioritizing space over command position. Favoring monochromatic palettes over colorful ones. Letting the builder / architect / designer dictate the purpose of a room.   Blog post with command position alternatives: https://simpleshui.com/5-simple-shui-ways-ambition/ Book recommendation: Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness | Ingrid Fetell Lee Simple Shui | https://simpleshui.com/ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/amandagibbypeters/ Simple Shui for Every Day | https://simpleshui.com/book/ Simple Shui Services | https://simpleshui.com/services/

While we tend to be very good at noticing our failures, keeping track of all your victories is a much better idea - even the little victories. This episode begins with an explanation of why those little victories can propel you into big ones and why keeping a list is such a great idea. http://www.lifehack.org/398112/science-explains-how-writing-down-tinyachievements-every-day-changes-our-brains You are surrounded by colors, shapes, objects, nature and light.

When the disquiet and unease of turbulent times weigh heavy on our hearts, can opening ourselves up to joy provide respite from the loads we carry? Ingrid Fetell Lee, designer and author of ​Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness, joins Jerry for an exploration of how the experience of joy can serve as a balm in times of crisis. In this episode, Jerry and Ingrid define joy (and how it can be differentiated from happiness) and consider the role it plays in our lives. Ingrid describes how humans are hardwired to find joy and underscores the extraordinary ways in which it serves to combat stress and fortify resiliency in times of adversity.

We’re all so fortunate to be able to do work that is fun and creative every day. No matter who you are, how old you are or what stage of life you’re in - following your passions and what’s meaningful to you is always an option. Sometimes this means making big moves. Today I am joined by Alisha Cohen, a photographer, stylist and creative director who had a dream of leaving her corporate job to pursue something more creative. We discuss how she came to start her own creative agency and how she’s used platforms like Instagram to grow her business. She shares how she finds inspiration, the importance of setting boundaries as a creative and how she overcomes fears when starting a new endeavor.  What’s in this episode: Alisha’s creative journey and wanting to transition out of the advertising agency Making the leap to start her business Why Alisha decided to do an Instagram meet up  How Alisha uses her Instagram as a portfolio A typical day in Alisha’s life and what she’s working on Her experience of moving to LA Setting boundaries for yourself as a creative Alisha’s creative process and how she finds inspiration from clients Her advice for breaking into what you want to do Alisha’s favorite part of her business Amy and Alisha’s trip to Bermuda Overcoming fears when starting a new endeavor Moving into corporate training and teaching brands about creating consistent content How Alisha crafts a life that she loves  Her experience of hiring her first employee and how she works with her team Collaborating with brands for her wedding day   From Alisha: I’m a photographer, stylist, creative director, and entrepreneur, but my story starts with an iPhone and a dream. I had no real photography training at all, and I got serious about Instagram as an experiment. I thought that If I could work to build a brand, agencies would hire me to do the same for the clients. The plan worked, and as a recent college grad, I was working as a social media manager and creative strategist for global brands in the advertising industry. But I ended up hating it. I wanted the chance to be more creative and to develop my own point of view. I turned to Instagram once again and it quickly became my creative outlet. I shared the colors and things around me that brought me joy and people started to notice. Brands asked me if I could take photos for their Instagram accounts, so I bought a camera, learned how to use it through an online course, and went to work. I hustled every night and weekend, creating content and building a client base. I would take conference calls on my 9-5 lunch break and meet potential clients at coffee shops near my office. When I had to start turning away clients because of my 9-5, I knew it was time to make a change. So at the age of 23, I left the advertising industry to focus on LISH creative full-time. In the 3+ years since starting my agency, a lot has changed. I went from styling photos by myself in my parent’s spare bedroom in Pittsburgh, to moving into a Los Angeles Studio and hiring a team to help. Personally, I got married, and my husband Graham finished medical school. He matched into an orthopedic surgery residency program, yay! So for the next 5 years, we’ll be living in the midwest and working to make our new house feel like a home.

Conventional wisdom tells us that real joy comes from within: from exercise or meditation, acts of service or the way we look at the world—pretty much anything except material possessions. But author/designer Ingrid Fetell Lee offers a different opinion in her book, "Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness." Lee tells Next Big Idea Club curator Adam Grant that there's tangible evidence of the powerful relationship between the way we feel and the objects that surround us, and she explains how we can harness that relationship to live healthier, happier lives.

We have been doing a deep dive into the topic, “The Practice of Joyful Living”, all month. Which, is super timely considering that there is a heightened spirit of joy in the air around the holiday season. What if we could maintain some of the joyful living magic that we find during the holiday season, throughout the rest of the year? What if pursuing more joyful living practices were just as important to our health as the food we eat and the exercise we do? I, for one, believe it is. Which is why I could not be more honored to host today’s guest, Ingrid Fetell Lee. I first came upon Ingrid’s work when a friend shared her TED talk video with me, “Where Joy Hides and How to Find it”. I was riveted by what she had to say and went on to purchase her book, Joyful: The Surprising Power of Ordinary Things to Create Extraordinary Happiness, which did not disappoint.
