I’ve spent the last few months reworking everything—my website, my blog, my processes, even how I show up in the world. Not because things were broken, but because they didn’t feel like me anymore. I was doing what needed to be done, but it started to feel like I was moving through a checklist, not building something aligned with who I am becoming.

I’m juggling a lot. I still work a full-time job. I’m helping with marketing for The Case Conference. I’m doing my best to stay rooted in my spiritual life. I’m a wife, showing up for my home, my plants, my peace. I’m trying to get back into my movement routine—because I know how much I need it, even when it feels like there’s no time. And through it all, I’m trying to get my business off the ground with no blueprint, no breaks, and no vacations in sight.

Burnout doesn’t always crash in loudly. Sometimes, it’s just the slow drift of survival mode.
And I realized I don’t want to survive what I’m building—I want to live in it.

That shift led me back to the roots. I started asking:
What would this look like with more ease?

So I made space to step back. I revisited my systems. I gave myself permission to automate where I could. I leaned into tools like AI—not to cut corners, but to give myself some breathing room. I cleaned up the backend of my business, realigned my messaging, and reimagined what it means for my brand to reflect not just what I do—but who I am.

This blog is part of that reset. And I’m calling it Lived In for a reason.

Because real life happens in the in-between. Between plans and progress. Between styling and surrender. Our spaces hold so much more than furniture—they hold our rhythm, our healing, our joy, our mess. And I want this to be a place that reflects all of that.

Lived In is where I get to tell the truth. Not just about design, but about trying to build something meaningful while honoring the season I’m in. It’s about creating space—for myself and for others—to design lives and homes that feel like they truly fit.

If you’re here, reading this, thank you.
This is me, building with intention.
Not just designing rooms, but designing a rhythm that sustains me.

Because I’m not just creating beautiful spaces—
I’m learning to live well inside the life I’m building.
