Hello! This is Episode 374, and it's the second instalment in our 4-part mini-series on how to make confident, clear decisions in your project, in each of the four phases every project travels through.

In this episode, we’re diving into the Design Phase: the part of your project where your ideas and inspiration begin to take shape, and the drawings of your future home start coming to life.

In the last episode, I introduced the series and shared how confidence and clarity were the most common feelings homeowners told me they want when designing, building or renovating their homes. And that makes total sense when you consider what’s at stake: time, money, energy, and the future lifestyle you’re creating for yourself and your family.

The great news is this: Confidence and clarity are not things you either have or don’t have. They’re something you can build, with the right guidance, questions, and frameworks to support you as you move through each phase of your project.

When you have that support, the decisions you make become simpler, less stressful, and far more aligned with your goals. And your project becomes more enjoyable and empowering as a result.

The Design Phase is often one of the most exciting stages of a renovation or new build. But it can also be where overwhelm creeps in, second-guessing shows up, and decision fatigue starts to take hold.

You might worry about making the wrong choice, forgetting to include something important, spending money on something that won’t work, or ending up with a home that doesn’t suit your life. 

And if you're working with a team, there can be extra pressure in trying to stay across all the moving parts, and trusting they’re doing their job well, especially if you're not sure what should be happening and when.

So in this episode, I’ll walk you through three practical and powerful ways to build your confidence and clarity in the Design Phase. These are the strategies I’ve seen make the biggest difference for homeowners - especially women - in reclaiming a sense of calm, control and creative freedom in this stage of the process.

Whether you're just getting into your design, or already knee-deep in drawings and decisions, this episode will help you step back, reconnect with what matters, and move forward with far more clarity.
