Get On The
Workshop Waitlist
Most homeowners respond to remodel planning stress by researching harder, calling a contractor — or putting it off altogether.
But clarity doesn’t come from more research or contacting pros before you're ready.
It comes from the right kind of preparation.
The What's Not Working? workshop helps you take the right first actions — so you can move forward with clarity, confidence, and control instead of uncertainty.
Early access when it launches • $27 • No Obligation
Why this feeling shows up in the first place
Most homeowners don’t feel stressed because they’re doing something wrong.
They feel stressed because they’re stepping into a professional process — with little to no experience, without knowing where the traps are, and what information they actually need yet.
That experience gap creates uncertainty.
And uncertainty has a way of getting louder the closer you get to making decisions and spending money.
The problem isn’t the remodel.
It’s moving forward without visibility.
And here’s where it gets risky
In remodeling, not knowing doesn’t just feel uncomfortable.
It can quietly cost you time, money, and control, long before construction ever begins.
Most regret isn’t caused by incompetence.
It’s caused by choices made too early, without enough clarity.
That’s why this moment matters more than most people realize.
The relief this step creates
The "What's Not Working?" workshop gives you relief in a very specific, tangible way.
It’s the relief of sitting down at the end of the day and no longer feeling that low-level pressure of “we should be doing something about the house.”
It’s the relief of opening your laptop or notebook and seeing your thoughts, frustrations, and concerns finally organized — instead of spinning in your head.
It’s the relief of being able to say,
“This is what’s actually not working for us,”
without second-guessing yourself or arguing about it.
After this step, homeowners often notice that:
conversations about the remodel feel calmer and more productive
decisions stop feeling urgent and start feeling intentional
that nagging fear of “missing something important” quiets down
the project no longer feels like a blur — it has shape and edges
Instead of carrying everything mentally, you’ve put it somewhere solid.
You’re no longer trying to remember:
what bothers you about the house
what you’re afraid might go wrong
what really matters versus what’s just noise
It’s written down.
It’s structured.
It’s real.
This is the relief of getting out of your head and onto solid ground — before design meetings, before hiring conversations, before decisions become expensive.
Not because the remodel is finished —
but because you’re finally prepared for it.
Why This Matters
(More Than It Seems Right Now)
Most remodel stress doesn’t come from construction. It comes from decisions made before anyone ever swings a hammer.
When problems aren’t clearly defined upfront, here’s what usually happens later:
design meetings drag on because no one agrees on what matters
revisions pile up as new realizations surface mid-process
costs climb every time the plan changes
frustration builds between partners and professionals
you start wondering whether you’re paying for the right solution — or just a solution
The "What's Not Working?" workshop quietly prevents all of that. By clearly defining the problems before design begins, you make everything that follows easier, faster, and calmer.
Homeowners who do this work first often notice that:
design conversations move faster and feel more focused
decisions require less debate and second-guessing
professionals ask better questions — because the groundwork is already done
fewer things “pop up later” that should’ve been obvious earlier
This step saves time — because design teams aren’t guessing.
It saves money — because fewer revisions mean fewer billable hours.
And it saves emotional energy — because you’re not constantly re-explaining or defending what you want.
Just as important, it changes how professionals experience you.
When you show up with a clear, documented understanding of what needs to be solved:
architects and designers take you more seriously
conversations start at a higher level
trust builds faster
collaboration feels smoother from the start
The "What's Not Working?" workshop quietly prevents all of that. By clearly defining the problems before design begins, you make everything that follows easier, faster, and calmer.
This isn’t about controlling the process. It’s about setting the conditions for good work to happen.
You’re not rushing into decisions.
You’re making sure that when decisions come, they’re the right ones.
What you’ll come away with
This is a self-paced, online, action-oriented workshop.
You won’t just think differently, you’ll do the work that creates a strong, usable foundation for your remodel.
By the end, you'll have:
Clear definitions of the real problems your remodel needs to solve
A plain-language explanation of what your remodel actually needs to solve — not just what you think it’s about.
A structured understanding of your home’s existing conditions and lived experience
What’s broken, what’s frustrating, and what’s limiting how you live today.
Detailed documented lived experience
How your home supports — or fights — daily routines, emotions, and relationships.
Clear priorities
What matters most, what can wait, and what should never be compromised.
A professional-grade reference document
Something you can hand to architects or designers that instantly elevates the conversation and saves time.
A solid foundation that supports:
- Better design outcomes
- Smarter hiring decisions
- Faster, more efficient planning
- Fewer surprises and less rework later
Architects and designers 💛 clients who show up this prepared.
It leads to better design outcomes, smarter hiring decisions, faster planning, and fewer surprises later.
When the foundation is clear, vision gets sharper, decisions get easier, and progress feels steady instead of stressful.
