I really enjoy going to therapy. I don't always go consistently, but I have found that in addition to my anxiety medication, going into see my therapist every 2-3 months really helps me stay on top of current challenges and sharpen my tools. I had a phone call appointment with him last week given the current pandemic and it was just what I needed. After the appointment, I couldn't wait to share some of things we talked about with some friends who were struggling with some similar issues. And then I thought, why not share with ALL my friends on the podcast? So here you go! Listen in to some of what I covered in my last therapy session! This Show is Sponsored by...

Today my guest is Rachel Van Kluyve. Whether you’re decorating your first house, looking for an affordable refresh for one room, or planning an entirely new concept as part of a renovation, one question provides the adequate jump start for any project. Where do I begin? It can be a challenge to know where to start in each scenario to make the various rooms in a home truly work—and work together—to fulfill one’s needs. Thankfully, popular blogger and designer Rachel Van Kluyve gets to the heart of how to create intention in any room in She Made Herself a Home: A Practical Guide to Design, Organize, and Give Purpose to Your Space.  Especially during this time when we're all at home, I had fun discussing things I could do around my house to make things more functional and beautiful. Maybe this will give you some new ideas too to really love where you live!
