Organize First, Decorate Second | Whitney English (EP39)

Minimalism isn’t about living in a blank, sterile space — it’s about making room for what truly reflects you. It’s less about having less, and more about living with intention. On today’s episode, I’m chatting with designer and author Whitney English, about her brand-new book Organize First, Decorate Second. We talk about how to bring order to your space before you style it — and why a home that feels like you doesn’t have to feel chaotic.
