The Weight of What I Let Go
Weight loss was just the beginning. What I’m really shedding are old patterns, people-pleasing, and the pressure to be everything to everyone.
Losing weight has changed my health, but what’s surprised me most is everything else I’ve started to lose — the weight, yes, but also the noise, the expectations, and some of the roles I used to live inside.
Lately, I’ve realized the shedding hasn’t just been physical.
Decluttering Isn’t About Less — It’s About What Fits Now
Why editing our homes (and our thinking) is really a question of what’s next
Every January, decluttering resurfaces like clockwork. New year, new you, clear the closets, purge the pantry, breathe easier. It’s framed as a seasonal ritual, something we do after the holidays to reset before real life resumes.
But from where I sit, as an interior designer who has spent years helping people transition homes and lives, this urge to declutter isn’t about calendars or trends. It’s about timing. And life stage. And a quiet, persistent desire for things to feel easier.
This is exciting! I have so many questions that need answers. How and why did you fall down this rabbit hole?
Paris Right Now: The Places My Friend Emily and I Keep Returning To
My friend Emily — not to be confused with that Emily in Paris — is one of those super-sleuth Parisians-at-heart who always knows what’s opening, what’s shifting, and what’s quietly becoming the next place you really should know about.
We were chatting this week about our favorite corners of Paris, the ones we return to again and again, and the new spots that have us plotting our next escape. Our list grew fast — a mix of design hideaways, boutiques with personality, and places that feel distinctly, irresistibly Parisienne.
I am definitely bookmarking this post for future reference when I take that dream trip. Also, I want to hang a sign outside my bedroom that says, “Le Boudoir Du Regard.” Ooh la la!
White Villages, Beach Clubs, and the Perfect Spanish Finale
Part 3: The coast, the chaos, the luxury, and why we were googling "how to move to Spain" before our flight home
The final chapter of our Spanish adventure - where narrow roads test your faith, parking becomes an extreme sport, and we discover that sometimes the journey really is the destination.
Big wake up call for me. Colossal..
On the other hand, because I always have to “yeah, but” only everything, I wonder, is there any middle ground? We, and by “we” I mean women, are so terribly hard on ourselves. What if the conversation we have with ourselves isn’t “What if you were THE best,” but “What if you were Your best?” I don’t know, maybe it’s a distinction without a difference.
