Being Home With a Home Organizing Expert (Megan Golightly of Simplified)
Today on the show we have Meg Golightly, home organizing expert, and founder of Simplified. For Meg, home organizing is not just about putting things in their place. She says, "My interest in home organization has evolved from a lifelong fascination with how our brains work reinforced by my degree in psychology and my ongoing interest in neuroscience.” She believes we all have reasons as to why we hang on to things. And everybody struggles with clutter. Everybody. However, there’s a cost to clutter. And that we can’t get to where we want to be until we let go. And so, Meg does more than just show us how to organize — she goes deeper. There’s one important step she believes we all must do before we organize, and she shares it in this conversation. She also offers tips on where and how to start in the organizing process, as well as the three questions she has her clients answer before starting the organizing process. We also talk about how find her favorite organizing tools; why she creates “towns” for her stuff at home; and finally, she shares expert ways to organize a pantry. We all know how much we love seeing a well-organized pantry! If you’re ready to make space in your home — both literally and figuratively — this conversation for you.  LEARN MORE ABOUT MEGAN GOLIGHTLY                                                              Website: Go-SimplifiedInstagram: @GoSimplifiedSimplified’s Guides: How-To GuidesGoSimplified’s Amazon Store: Shop NowOTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE Being Home With Nate Berkus (Celebrity Interior Designer & HGTV Star)Being Home With Feng Shui for Families (Kristina Hollinger, Feng Shui Expert)Being Home With Clutterbugy’s Organizing Expert (Cass Aarssen)  CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?

Being Home With Feng Shui for Families (Kristina Hollinger, Feng Shui Expert)

Being Home With Feng Shui for Families (Kristina Hollinger, Feng Shui Expert)
Today on the show, host Laurie Gunning Grossman talks with feng shui expert Kristina Hollinger. Kristina is a feng shui consultant and author — and she’s the host of the podcast Feng Shui With Kristina Hollinger where she’s focused on helping people expand their manifesting toolbox. Kristina says that she is dedicated to helping you design the life you deserve.  We wanted to have Kristina back on the show to talk specifically about feng shui for families — and how we can use feng shui to help foster harmony within the home. Kristina talks about how there are areas of our home that signify areas of our lives. Almost like a mirror to each other. We talk specifically about the Family area — how to identify it (where it’s located in your home) and how to bolster this area through specific feng shui cures. In other words, if you want to strengthen and support family relationships, there are some simple yet effective things you can do in the form of decor and design. And Kristina shares these ideas with us. We were also curious about how to use feng shui in other areas of our homes that we don’t have total control over, such as our kids’ rooms. Kristina has some great advice around what to do when maybe we can’t completely control the decor or the clutter in these important areas. You will also love hearing how — and why — Kristina and her family write their intentions on their walls; ways that we can clear and uplift the energy in our spaces; and what to focus on if you were to do just one thing to create greater harmony in your home. LEARN MORE ABOUT KRISTINA HOLLINGER                                                              Website: KristinaHollinger.comInstagram: @kristina.hollingerManifest With Kristina: 12 Month Manifesting JourneyPodcast: Feng Shui With Kristina HollingerOTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKEYour Work Desk Needs These Feng Shui and Aromatherapy IdeasBeing Home With The AstroTwins and 2023 Astrology (Ophira Edut)Being Home With Feng Shui Expert Amanda Gibby PetersBeing Home With Spirit Daughter Jill Wintersteen CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?

Being Home With Nate Berkus (Celebrity Interior Designer & HGTV Star)
Feb 6 2023
Being Home With Nate Berkus (Celebrity Interior Designer & HGTV Star)
Today on the show I am talking with Nate Berkus, celebrity interior designer, best-selling author, and host of HGTV’s “The Nate & Jeremiah Home Project.” We’ve seen evidence of Nate’s talent ever since he came into the public eye in 2002 after his first appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Nate knows design, and he knows how to elevate a home. As he says, he cares deeply about living beautifully. And, lucky for us all, he’s just released a brand-new collection called Nate Home. As he says in our conversation, he’s “standing on the edge of a cliff,” with his return to bedding, bath, and (a new category), home organization Why a cliff? Well, because as Nate shares, this is the first time he isn’t partnering with a single retailer. Through his partnership with mDesign, his goal was to make this new collection available to everybody – and he’s made true to that goal: Nate Home is available at Amazon, Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, and more.   We also talk about the two foundations of design that matter to him; he shares the tangible things that can help express the stories of the people living in a home; he talks about how he’s become a better designer since becoming a father; and he shares why having an organized home is so important – and he gives us two expert organizing tips to try. Finally, we talk about his marriage to designer Jeremiah Brent and their two children – how sharing his life not only as a designer, but as a family man, is so important. To him and his husband, visibility matters. LEARN MORE ABOUT NATE BERKUSInstagram for Nate Home: @natehomeInstagram for Nate Berkus: @nateberkusWebsite: Nate Home by Nate Berkus: Click hereWebsite: Nate Berkus Home Collections: Click hereThe Nate & Jeremiah Home Project on HGTV: Click here                                                              OTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKEBeing Home With FEEL FREE Magazine Creator (Leanne Ford)Being Home With Mandy Moore’s Interior Designer (Sarah Sherman Samuel)Being Home With Clutterbug's Organizing Expert (Cass Aarssen)Being Home With an Interior Designer Transforming Old Homes (Victoria Sass) CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?

Being Home With the Head of Editorial & Creative at Google Shopping (Aya Kanai)
Today on the show we have Aya Kanai, Head of Editorial and Creative for Google Shopping.Did you know that people shop with Google more than 1 billion times per day? This is one of the many reasons why I was thrilled to talk with Aya (formerly an editor/director in fashion and beauty) because she has an inside look at shopping trends and habits for 2023 in the home decor and design space, and beyond. It’s interesting to hear what people are searching for right now – and what’s important to them when deciding where they want to put their money (especially for Gen Z and Gen Alpha). In this conversation, Aya offers insight on the Google shopping experience, including Google’s tools and filters such as 3D imagery and AR. Doesn’t the idea of taking 3D imagery of furniture and putting it in your space to see how it looks in your home or backyard before you buy sound so helpful? Aya shares some personal thoughts on her own home, including her decor style; what she can’t live without and what brings her great joy when she’s at home; and what she loves most about New York City. Aya and I agree that how we shop for ourselves – what we choose to put in our homes or on our bodies – is not just about buying things to amass stuff; it’s about purchasing products that help express who we are in the world. Every shopping decision we make is an opportunity to create, support, and tell our personal stories.LEARN MORE ABOUT AYA KANAILinkedIn: @ayakanaiInstagram: @ayakanai                                                              OTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKEBeing Home With Interiors Expert and Author (Hilary Robertson)Being Home With an Interior Designer Transforming Old Homes (Victoria Sass)Being Home With a Popular HGTV Interior Design Star (Leanne Ford)Being Home With Etsy's Trend Expert (Dayna Isom Johnson) CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMANHave questions?
