In Part 2 of Making Space for Who You're Becoming, Laura and I continue our deep dive into the power of intentional design—and this time, we’re talking about the real magic that happens when you claim your space. When you fully own your environment and align it with who you want to become, you open up new possibilities in every area of your life. We explore how making bold design choices can help you trust yourself and embrace growth in the 'now' at the same time that you're fueling your future self.

What if your space could help you become the person you want to be? In our latest two-part episode of Messy Designed Life, I sit down with my amazing friend and design client, Laura Nelson, to explore how intentional design isn’t just about making a room look great—it’s about shaping your future self. We dive into how creating a home that reflects the emotions and energy you want can help you get clear on your vision and step into the version of yourself you’re meant to become.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to “be beautiful,” this episode might just change the way you think about it—and about yourself.

In the latest Messy Designed Life episode, we’re diving into the idea of beauty—not just as something we see, but as something we experience. What if we redefine beauty as a verb?

We talk about how beauty impacts us deeply, not just in how we look but in how we feel and interact with the world. I share about:

• Beauty as an Experience Exploring the idea of beauty as a verb, something we actively experience rather than a static quality.
• Impact on Daily Life How this vocab shift can change everything from our self-talk to our spending habits.
• Design with Intention The importance of creating spaces that spark beauty and support our well-being.
• Redefining Standards Moving away from societal pressures to be beautiful and embracing the inner experience of beauty we can create and feel every day.
