James Clear: Quote "Of all the ways you could be spending your precious time and attention, it is very unlikely that you are currently spending it in the optimal way. The only path I know for figuring out a better way to spend your life is to sit and think. You simply have to carve out some time to think carefully about what you're doing, why you're doing it, and what you're really trying to achieve. Nobody stumbles into a well-lived life. It has to be cultivated. Reflection and review are critical." Connect with James’ outstanding newsletter Atomic Habits or buy his best-selling book: https://jamesclear.com

They make the most delicious-smelling candles and soaps, plus super comfy sweatshirts. I have one of their candles in every room of my house.

Episode 46 | The Haunting of a House Oct 12, 2020

Let’s dive into the spooky aspect of a home…the haunting of a home and the energy that can remain long after people have left. Let’s talk about the psychology of what makes a house feel haunted and I’ll share a real-life story and talk about the inhabitants with Dr. Kristy Sumner a paranormal investigator where she shares the details of an investigation in a house on a lake. Something is still there, moving around, lurking in the shadows, making curious unexplainable noises. Parental discretion is advised due to the graphic nature in which some people meet their demise and the discussion of the afterlife and darker things.

Episode 45 | Organizing: The KonMari Method Oct 06, 2020

Let's discuss home organization; specifically the KonMari Method™. Most tidying methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, creating a scenario that may just never end because it’s not structured with a beginning and an end date.

People around the world have been drawn to the KonMari Method™ not only due to its effectiveness but also because it places great importance on being mindful, introspective and forward-looking. I have invited Kristyn Ivey & Karin Socci, licensed KonMari consultants, and Co-hosts of the Spark Joy podcast dedicated to the transformative power of surrounding yourself with joy; and letting go of the all the rest.

Episode 33 | Revise and Finish Home Projects Jun 30, 2020

How many projects do you have lying around unfinished? As a realtor, I see firsthand that garages can get lost in unfinished projects. Guest rooms can become junk rooms where unfinished projects get closed behind a door. I have read statistics that more than half of U.S. homeowners have at least one uncompleted home project. Unfinished projects can add stress to your daily life, especially when you see the unfinished pieces lying around every single day and rendering entire spaces and rooms unusable. How do we finish what we have already started and how can we prevent this cycle from happening again? Come geek out with me on Finishing & Revising Home Projects.

Episode 31 | Things to know before you BUILD a HOME Jun 11, 2020

This is a compilation of all the research I did and the things I learned when we built our own home along with things I wished I had known. It includes research on what other people also wished they had known and thought of ahead of time. From what to expect for the building process to building terms and things you shouldn’t forget in the bathroom, this one hour podcast could save you thousands of dollars and much disappointment in your home-build so listen, take notes, and share it!

Builders; you might make it common practice to share this on social media and with any potential clients to educate them and avoid more change orders than you might otherwise have had. When clients consider all the details they want to include in their home upfront before the process begins, they will feel like they thought of everything, they will be educated on some terms and they’ll end up with a home that includes all the details they may have never thought of. Everybody wins so share this liberally. Also, I consult on home builds so send me an email if you'd like to collaborate on a project! kristina@spaceandreason.com

Episode 30 | Creating spaces for Introverts and Extroverts Jun 03, 2020

I believe that your space directly affects how you feel and function every moment that you are in your home, whether you are aware of it or not. Living in a home that doesn’t suit your temperament can be draining and exhausting. How fulfilled we are can have a big impact on our daily life across all kinds of contexts. By understanding where we fall on the introvert, extrovert, ambivert scale, we can address setting our homes up to support our natural instincts and increase our propensity for truly enjoying our home in a way that you feel you are being supported and nurtured.

Episode 28 | Fencing, Hedges and Privacy Screens May 17, 2020

When you stand at the street and look at your home, do you have a sightline to the area where you want to build the fence or place the hedge? What are your "WHY's" when considering fencing and have you thought about your taste first?

Have you considered a horizontal fence? A green fence? A modern fence? A varied height fence with corten steel panels?

With so many options to choose from, it's easy to get overwhelmed. This episode dives into both natural and hardscape fencing along with questions to ask yourself about the aesthetics of your yard and the functionality of it for the long haul.

Episode 27 | Attracting Hummingbirds, Butterflies and Birds Apr 22, 2020

Consider your outdoor environment. It can either relax you or stress you out. Is it comfortable? Do you want to linger? Do you see or hear birds? Do you butterflies visiting? Pollinators are responsible for 1 out of 3 bites of food we take each day, and yet pollinators are at a critical point in their own survival. Celebrate this years’ 50th anniversary of Earth Day by incorporating more nectar and pollen sources in your yard to help improve their health and numbers. Increasing the number of pollinator-friendly gardens and landscapes will help revive the health of bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators around the world. Published on the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, in honor of Mother Nature.
