Resting: A Curated Pause for You and Your Home
This week, I chose to show up differently. Instead of a full design breakdown, I shared one simple truth: sometimes, the most powerful thing you can do for your home is to pause and rest.
Our homes don’t just hold furniture or objects — they hold us. The energy we carry. The pace we keep. The permission we give ourselves to breathe. When we run on empty, our spaces echo that back to us. But when we pause, even for a moment, our homes transform into sanctuary.
To support you in taking that pause, I created a Spotify playlist called Resting — a soundscape of strings, keys, and soulful voices designed to carry you deeper into presence. It’s an invitation to sit back, take in the light and textures around you, and let your home hold you. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0HTGXytdSMENVV5qadm03M?si=JGvOAcjzRLi2TNs8xEctug&pi=RLZa7XE8RTSXz
Reflection Prompts
Take a few minutes this week to explore these questions in your journal — or simply hold them in your mind as you listen to the playlist:
When I allow myself to rest, how does my home feel different?
What details in my space — lines, shapes, light, colors, textures — quietly support me each day?
Where in my home do I feel most held, and how can I spend more time there?
What small act of rest can I gift myself this week? (Lighting a candle, sitting in silence, enjoying a favorite corner, etc.)
How does my home mirror the way I’m treating myself right now?
A Gentle Reminder
Your home doesn’t just hold your belongings — it holds you. Give yourself permission to pause, even briefly, and notice how your space loves you back.
And if this message resonates, don’t forget: The Powerhouse Handbook launches August 4th in paperback — designed to be carried, written in, and lived with every day.
