02: Remodeling: Where Do I Begin When Home Design Feels Confusing and Overwhelming

“Feeling overwhelmed by remodeling? How can you plan your dream home stress-free?” When you’re thinking about remodeling your kitchen, bathroom, or whole home, the first step is not calling a contractor — and it’s definitely not falling down the Pinterest mood board rabbit hole. In this episode, I walk you through the real starting point for a stress-free remodel: getting clear on your budget, your “why,” to get your project started on the right foot. I share the hidden pitfalls of Googling “remodeling contractors near me” too early, why confusing bids happen, and how to avoid feeling overwhelmed by inconsistent renovation costs. Whether you’re planning a kitchen renovation, small bathroom remodel, or full home renovation, I’ll help you build a clear plan that makes comparing estimates easier, saves money, and keeps your remodel organized. From DIY planning tips to tackling decision fatigue, I’ll show you how to prioritize what matters most so you can create the dream home you’ve been imagining — without the budget nightmares.
