Meet My Beyond Spaces Client: Brenda

Understand what “going beyond spaces” means when you listen in on a convo with a past client of mine who really understands the connection between her things, her space and her self. By listening in, you’ll get a better feel for the connection between clutter and clarity, why you just can’t get rid of that table you hate and how “doing the research” leads to inspired action when it comes to designing your space (and life).
