My guest today is Lucy Hunter, and she happens to be very lucky, I think, to have that last name because it’s so fitting to her personality. She is, first and foremost, a landscape designer, and she’s also a floral designer, or an artist who uses flowers, really, and it seems she does all of this by hunting in nature for her inspiration, seeking out the beauty in imperfection that mother nature does so well. Today we’re talking about her second book, called The Flower Hunter, and it’s a wonderful conversation about life and creativity and self reflection and creating an environment that perfectly suits who you are. You’ll learn as much about design principles as you will about how to follow beauty through its lifespan.

Why does style, design, and decor matter? Here's the thing, my friend, style isn't just about superficiality. It actually brings several benefits that can enhance our well-being and confidence. In this epsiode, I break it down into four categories: emotional well-being, relationships, personal development, and confidence. By paying attention to our homes and cultivating a signature style, we can create spaces that truly reflect and support who we are. And let me tell you, it's not just about following trends or seeking validation from others. It's about embracing our unique taste and designing our homes in a way that brings us joy and fulfillment. So, if you're a homeowner or someone looking to create a personalized living space, this episode is for you.

How does the concept of value affect our spending decisions when it comes to our homes? Being budget-conscious doesn't mean always going for the cheapest option. Instead, I believe in being realistic about what we can afford and understanding our own criteria for assigning value to things. Consider other factors like who made the item, how it was manufactured, and the materials used, when determining its worth. By prioritizing these factors, we can make more informed decisions that align with our values and contribute to a sustainable home. In this episode, I outline three key aspects of the slow style philosophy: using what we have creatively, researching before making purchases, and investing in high-quality, long-lasting items. By applying these principles, we can make mindful choices that reflect our personal style and financial situation. So if you're looking to make more informed spending decisions and create a home that aligns with your values, this episode of Slow Style Home is a must-listen.

My guest today is psychologist-turned-interior-desiger, Anita Yokota. When she embarked on her career as a therapist and saw clients in their own homes, she began to comprehend the impact of their environments on their mental and emotional health. Her in-home visits exposed her to a variety of home environments, and she soon noticed a correlation between the state of a home and the emotional climate within it. This insight led her to help clients organize their living spaces, which in turn reduced tensions within the family. After 20 years in therapy, she made a pivot to her creative passion for interior design. She has created her own home therapy method, an approach that combines tangible organization with cognitive feelings, and she's just released her first book, also called Home Therapy. In our conversation, Anita shares story after story about how to heal yourself and your relationship using intentional design.
