How to Love the Home You Have (Not the One You Want)

How to Love the Home You Have (Not the One You Want)

Slow living starts at home. Loving our living spaces saves money, too, because - when we're home + happy - we are less likely to alleviate boredom by purchasing unnecessary items. Here are 10 tips to save money, foster an emotional connection to your home + learn to absolutely love your space, despite its quirks.


How to love your home

Do you love your home? Or is there *something* about your space that sends you running for the hills?

For many, our living spaces provoke anxiety. Maybe the clutter constantly distracts us. Perhaps (seemingly endless) household chores wear us down, slowly but surely.

Or maybe we’re bored at home so we hunt elsewhere for entertainment.

But what almost always happens when we head out? We spend money.

My guest this week is Katie Shaw. Katie *used to* run to Target for external gratification; these days, she’s happy at home. She knows it’s absolutely possible to curate a space that’s relaxing, inviting, stress-free + clean; even better, she’s here to share her successes with us.

No need to shell out big bucks on a total home remodel: On today’s show Katie and I show you how to love the home you have (not the ones in magazines!) in 10 easy steps.
