Send us a textIf you’ve renovated before, you’ll know that it can be very exciting—but let’s face it, it can also be overwhelming. In this episode of I’m talking about something not often discussed but absolutely essential: the power of a well-timed pause. A strategic breather can give you clarity, reduce costly mistakes, and help you reconnect with your vision.
