Podcast appearances and mentions of kelly mindell

In this conversation with former Resonai COO Natalie Rozenboim, Chedva explores what happens when we achieve the goals we've worked toward, only to discover they don't feel right anymore. They discuss the pandemic's role in prompting career reassessment, the guilt associated with questioning achievements we've worked hard for, and how to navigate changes in what we want from life. Key Topics: The pandemic as a catalyst for questioning career paths The identity crisis of outgrowing professional achievements Guilt and confusion when questioning the life we've built Breaking free from the "sunk cost" mentality Generational differences in approaching work-life integration Notable Quotes: "There's like this pressure to find your thing, which has to encompass so many things. It has to be not only how you make a living, but also something you're passionate about." "You almost gaslight yourself. Like, why would I not want this? The problem is me." "We tend to think we just need to decide what we want and just go for it, but I think it's more of a continuous quest." "We mistake control for progress - holding tightly to answers gives an illusion of forward movement, even when we're standing still." Natalie's Powerful Question: "Am I building the life I want to live, or do I feel trapped in this life? And what am I going to do about it?"

Hide your colors behind doors or inside closets or drawers! Do you believe anyone can pull off your vibrant style? Yes! It's never too late to incorporate color. What is your process for mixing patterns and color? Do you typically have a plan, or just layer things on? Kelly likes to find something like a rug and use it as a starting point. Any colors can be mixed together as long as you have the right shades. Great places to look for color inspiration are art and fashion. You’re latest bathroom remodel is amazing. What are some of your favorite home decor shops to source from? Jungalow, Facebook Marketplace, Kip and Co, Soukie Modern, Anthropologie and Target are great too! As you’re working on your home, do you take resale into consideration? If so, what are some things you try to keep in mind? Make bold choices in places that are manageable to change, like the bathroom or paint colors. That being said, don't decorate your house for the next homeowners! What has been your biggest challenge in terms of home renovation? Living in the home during a renovation has been challenging, so they try to contain it as much as possible and only do one room at a time. What has been your biggest victory?  The backyard was the biggest transformation, but the master bath is probably one of her favorites! Kelly's also really proud of the closet doors she made for the nursery. See HERE On your blog you’ve talked about your belief in keeping the character on old homes. What are some ways you’ve been able to update your house while keeping it’s 1930’s charm? Everything is old and needs some updating, so Kelly tries to update the functional things but keep the character of the home. You went with Ikea cabinetry in your kitchen, how was your experience, and would you do it again? They did Ikea cabinet bases with doors from Semi Handmade. It was more cost effective. What are some simple elements home-owners can add to any room to add warmth and fun?  Textiles add easy warmth, but Kelly also recommends anything with meaning or a memento. Collect things over time to create that storied and layered feel. What are some tips for working with your husband on the house? It's important to know your roles so you're not stepping on each other's toes. Make the big decisions together. Take a breather when you need it! HOMEWORK!

We first discovered Jeff on Instagram. Jeff is a photographer who loves to take a lot of architectural images, and so naturally we fell in love with his work. Not long after, we discovered his wife, Kelly, and we just absolutely had to follow them both! We followed their work for a year and a half before reaching out to them, and it’s been such a fun journey getting know them on a more personal level, getting the inside scoop on how their business actually runs. If you know of Studio DIY, you know very much that they have hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram, and that their DIY blog is pretty outstanding. In our talk with them, we discover more about their journey of what the early days of Studio DIY looked like, how they were beginning to build sponsorship and affiliate relationships, and how they decided what to charge. They also share what it was like branching out and creating their own physical product line. Since then they’ve done a lot of growth and implemented tons of incredible strategies in their business to make it what it is today. So if you are a DIY’er yourself, you absolutely have to give this one and listen!   Thank you for listening! Please subscribe, rate and review The Strategy Hour Podcast on iTunes.
