Rethinking Room Functions
Lois discusses how she struggled with the multi-functionality of a room in her house but found clarity after the podcast conversation with Dana. Initially using the room as a dumping ground for various items, including toddler beds and inherited memorabilia, Lois was conflicted about its purpose.
