In this episode of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire I talk with Lauren Brown of A Designer's Touch.

At the age of 65 Lauren left a 33 year career to start a Home Staging and Interior Design business. Lauren walks us through the unconventional and highly successful ways she gained traction in her new business.

In this episode of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire I'm joined by award winning Interior Designer, Debbe Daley for a rich, eye opening conversation about design trends, the return of vintage and how to use it with intention in both Home Staging and Interior Design.

If you're a Home Stager or Interior Designer who likes to stay ahead of trends while creating spaces that feel soulful, layered and special, this episode is for you.

You will learn:

• the vintage eras and styles that are making a comeback in 2026
• what's changing with wall paint colors and how to use them strategically
• how to blend different vintage eras without creating visual chaos
• where Debbe sources unique vintage pieces that elevate a space
• how vintage can be used in Home Staging to create an emotional connection
• how to use the pantone color of the year for maximum impact
• a sneak peak into our live retreat in New Hampshire for Interior Designers and Home Stagers

This year I would like to invite you to start thinking about goals differently.

Most people won't reach for goals that might disrupt their life, their identity or their nervous system.

They choose goals that are sensible, comfortable- goals their brains can agree to without breaking a sweat.

And while those goals feel safe, they rarely change anything.

In this episode, I'm talking about the goals that don't feel reasonable- the big, bodacious badass ones.

The goals that make you hesitate before saying them out loud because you know that they will require you to become a different version of yourself.

The ones that trigger that familiar internal alarm, whispering "this feels dangerous".

If that made your heart bit a little bit faster, this episode is for you
