Trying to be the expert vs. being a collaborator

Hello! This is Episode 365, and in it, I’m sharing the top 5 mistakes I see homeowners make in their renovation or new build projects - without even realising they’re doing it.

These aren’t the obvious, dramatic missteps you hear horror stories about. 

They’re subtle, sneaky habits and beliefs that can quietly derail your progress, blow your budget, or leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsure as your project unfolds.

They’re also incredibly common, and totally avoidable once you know what to look for.

So, in this episode, I’ll walk you through each of these mistakes. I’ll also share why these mistakes happen, what the consequences tend to be, and most importantly, how you can course-correct before they cause bigger issues.

Whether you’re just starting out, midway through your planning, or already feeling the pinch of uncertainty, this episode will help you step back, reset, and approach your project with far more clarity and confidence.

Let’s put these mistakes on your radar so you can feel more informed and prepared to navigate your project successfully.
