 Today's episode is a joyful ride through the woods, the stage and straight to the heart of what it means to truly be yourself and be comfortable in your skin. We're sitting down with our friend Amber, who's lived a lot of lives from romping through the forest as a little girl to strutting across the pageant stage as a beauty queen to gracing our TV screens as a host, and now, well, she's best known to her friends as the Feral Mountain Princess. That's a true story.

Amber has the incredible way of finding herself in the wild, both literally and metaphorically. She's an avid hiker, a seeker of joy actually. She is the og. Joy dropper. She's where we learned the term, and someone who's learned to come home to herself by coming home to nature.

Our chat with her is full of laughter, surprising stories, and a beautiful reminder that you do not have to fit a mold to feel completely at peace with who you are. So grab a cozy drink or lace up your hiking boots, and let's enjoy this journey with the one and only Feral Mountain Princess.

 If you're anything like us, we love a tip or trick that changes the way we do something for the better. I mean, right. Don't you? Those little and often easy things can totally make a difference in our day, and it never fails that someone we know, knew, and for some reason never divulged, RUDE!

Well, today, the three of us are not gatekeeping our favorites that we use in our homes. Any longer. We each are sharing tips and tricks of things that we do that have totally changed the way that our home works for us, both design-wise and functionally. And of course, as you would've imagined, there's a few laughs along the way, and we learned that Dwayne purposefully hid a light switch from his parents. Honestly, it makes total sense. Okay, roll the music.

 Have you ever fallen in love with a home in a movie and daydreamed about living there ever since? Now, I know you can't see me, but both of my hands are raised now for the three of us. Specifically. Time and time again, we have fallen in love with the homes in Nancy Meyers films. Now, if you don't know her name, I bet you know some of her movies, or at least the homes from the movies.

Think "Something's Gotta Give", "It's Complicated" (Lord, that kitchen), "The Holiday". Yes, honey! Show me where I can sign up to stay in those homes. Well, in today's podcast, we discuss what's known as the Nancy Meyer style and how it's more of a feeling than a style and in simple ways that you can bring that warm, lived in effortless, elegant vibe to your own space no matter where you live.

And let's get to it because my head is already in the kitchen from its complicated. And Lord, now all I want is some homemade sourdough toast.

 We like to think that we are seasonal decorating gurus around here, but I gotta tell you, summer, it can even challenge the three of us. And let's be honest, it's because spring is so easy, right? You've got bunnies, you've got pastel eggs, you've got flowers, throw some of them out, BAM, you are ready for Spring! In fall, you get some foliage, some pumpkins, BAM. Instant autumn joy! BUT summer, well, it's the season that just shows up in flip flops, and just expects you to go with the vibe. So today we're going to talk about how to handle the season that can be a little bit more about sunburns and maybe a glass of lemonade and aid, and how to create a home with an effortless summer look, without it looking like you raided a luau.

So grab your sandals and let's get to it.

Here's some of the products we discussed from our podcast!

 Hey listeners, we talk a lot on here about creating beautiful homes that will bring you joy, but what about a beautiful life that does the same one that feels as good as it looks? Well, today, we are getting a little more real. No talk of draperies, no paint colors or gallery walls. Just the messy, beautiful truth of what it means to find your joy in unexpected places AND being open to share it.

And if you've thought, I am too old to do something like that, or I've missed my chance, well guess again because our guest is the perfect example of how it's never too late to create a life led by joy again and again. Believe it or not, her story starts with a cookie and discussing her gynecologist appointment with a stranger. I am not kidding.

You are going to love her story, but most of all, we hope that it helps bring the idea of not just creating a beautiful home for you, but to create a beautiful life and to share it with others.

You are going to love it. Let's get to the story.
