![]() There are typos and photos that aren’t cropped properly, but there’s an authenticity that’s critically important to me and everything I do in life. They’re funny sometimes, but I don’t know what I’m doing. They’re awful! They’re not edited, they’re not pretty. social media has never been written by anyone but me. I’m like the reality TV of decorators, not the fantasy. I always do my own pitches, because who better to describe your work to an editor than yourself? I mean, you worked on it. I don’t want to criticize other people, but for me it wouldn’t work. I can tell right away when not someone’s own voice. I wouldn’t hire a PR person if my life depended on it. How has that colored how you approach things like getting published or being on social media? I’m not a millennial, so to some degree, I just make the general assumption that I’m irrelevant, and if I’m not, I’m grateful. Honestly, I have no clue who’s listening. So you’re not incessantly checking your analytics? What has the response to the podcast been so far? All of that is part of that imperfection in life that I really like. I like that there are scratchy sounds in it, that it’s not overly produced. It was so completely unpolished, but I guess it’s very authentic it’s very representative of who I am and what my is. The first two episodes were mainly just us missing each other-we don’t even have any guests, it’s just us talking! One of my employees suggested we get guests, so I DMed people on Instagram. I didn’t think anybody would listen, so who cares! And then I thought, Well, gosh, if someone does listen, then they’ll have a good idea of what we’re really like, and whether or not we’d be a good fit. One of the gals in my office suggested the idea, and I thought it would be good because we could all just kind of talk freely. All of us being away from each other was really lonely and horrible, so what we wanted to do with the podcast was have an open dialogue. My practice is small but close-knit, and one of the key elements-one reason I get up every day-is because I really love my staff. ![]() ![]() What made you feel like now was the moment?
