Remodeling your home should make life easier—but for many homeowners, the overwhelm starts long before construction begins.

Between endless choices, unclear priorities, Pinterest overload, and fear of costly mistakes, decision fatigue can take over before a single wall comes down.

In this episode, I’m joined by Jen Orr, founder of Studio Red Interior Design and host of the podcast Preparing for Your Home Remodel. Jen specializes in helping homeowners slow down, plan intentionally, and design homes that truly support real life—especially in busy, family-heavy households.

We talk about why starting with **function—not finishes—**is the key to a smoother, smarter renovation and how having the right systems in place can save time, money, and stress.

Moving into a new home is more than a physical transition — it’s a spiritual and practical one too!

In this episode, we’re talking about what happens after the move. Not preparing a home for sale. Not decluttering months ahead of time. But the moment when everything you owned made the journey, and you’re standing in a new space asking: What actually belongs here now?

We begin with Scripture as a reminder that our identity is not found in the things we own — or even in the home we’ve been blessed with — but in Christ. From there, we walk through clear, practical steps to help you organize your new home in a way that reflects your current season of life.

This episode will help you slow down, set intention, and organize with clarity rather than overwhelm. Praying over this new chapter for you!

The empty nest season often brings more than quiet — it brings questions.

Why does organizing suddenly feel heavier? Why do old systems stop working? And why do thoughts like “I should be further along” show up so loudly now?

In this episode, Kristina sits down with professional organizer Tracy Hoth of Simply Squared Away to explore how our internal dialogue — what Tracy calls “soundtracks” — directly influences our ability to declutter and stay organized.

Rather than offering quick fixes or rigid systems, Tracy shares how long-held identity statements can quietly sabotage progress, and why this season of life is an invitation to adopt new ways of thinking. You’ll hear real client examples, practical mindset reframes, and encouragement for anyone who feels stuck, behind, or overwhelmed by what’s been left behind after the kids leave home.

This conversation also weaves in faith, and grace — reframing organizing as a practice we walk through with God, not a standard we have to live up to.

If you’re navigating the empty nest and wondering what comes next for your home — and your heart — this episode will meet you right where you are. Praying over your New Year!
