This episode with Theresa dives into how design blends beauty and function — from healthcare projects to historic homes — and what it's like to run your own studio while raising three little kids. Expect practical tips (balance, scale, and creating systems that actually work), honest stories from the renovation trenches, and lots of real-world perspective on trusting the process.

Tune in for candid, down-to-earth advice and reassuring encouragement: renovations are a roller coaster, but done thoughtfully they’re worth it. Think of this as a cozy chat with a friend who knows how to make your space truly feel like home.

Hey friend — in this episode Aaron sits down with Marla Smith from Rooted Home Organization to talk real-life organizing: how motherhood turned a childhood love of order into a mission, why she always pulls everything out before sorting, and the simple rules she uses (purge first, then buy bins, prioritize your calendar). Expect gentle, practical advice — like the five-minute timer trick — and zero judgment.

If toys, countertops, or sentimental piles have you stuck, Marla’s empathetic approach makes starting doable. Try one small spot for five minutes and feel how freeing it can be — that tiny win often leads to the rest.

Join Aaron and Libby as they chat about Libby’s unlikely path from elementary teacher to Louisville interior designer, her love of timeless choices that actually work for families, and practical tips—like hiring a pro early, planning finishes before slabs are poured, and even designing the perfect bourbon basement.

It’s an easy, friendly conversation full of real-life advice and little design nudges you can use next time you’re picking paint, tile, or a sofa—perfect for anyone ready to make their space feel curated and livable.
