Cluttered bedroom? Restless nights. 

Disorganized pantry? Neglected health. 

Shelves filled with meaningless accessories? A hint that you’re trying to fill emotional space with things that impress, not support.

Jung believed the home symbolizes the psyche. In a similar way, I believe, the way you live in your space reveals how you live with yourself.

Our homes are mirrors. Look closely, and they’ll show you everything you need to know.

I had a life changing event over 20 years ago that helped teach me this lesson.

It was during my marriage and we were about to begin a massive remodel of our home. Architectural plans were drawn. A townhouse was rented to move into during construction. Everything was in motion.

And yet, I couldn’t pick a faucet, a cabinet, or even door hardware. The thing I loved to do most, design, felt meaningless. I had no desire to renovate. My home was telling me what I couldn’t say out loud:

No amount of renovation would fix what was broken. That house wasn’t my home anymore. That life was no longer mine.

I left my marriage and moved into the rented townhouse that was supposed to be for the remodel. It was in this letting go that I found clarity to move forward.

Fast forward to today. I often walk through each room of my house like I walk through each part of my life. What needs fixing? What needs refreshing? What needs to go entirely?

Self-awareness begins at home. Literally.

Let your home talk to you. It will show you where you’re holding on too tightly. Where you’re avoiding. Where there’s still space for something better.

Design, for me, isn’t just aesthetics. It’s alignment. It’s about crafting a sanctuary that reflects not just who you are, but who you’re becoming. That is what I call Interior Alignment.          

Truth, not decoration. Space, not clutter. Healing, not hiding.
