29 - From Chaos Parenting to Calm: Feng Shui & Real Life (With Brittany Berman)
Episode notes
Joe and I are back with a real-life debrief after a couple weeks of hand, foot, and mouth chaos, birthday celebrations, travel, sick kids, and me trying to survive on applesauce and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
We’re talking:
– Parenting in the thick of it
– Why kids only sleep in when they’re sick
– Potty training wins (and skid mark confessions 😅)
– The mental load of sickness + schedules
– And our ongoing Elite-ish 8 showdown (ice cream edition)
Then I sit down with Brittany Berman for a conversation that completely shifted how I see our home. We talk about how your space impacts your nervous system, why fluorescent lighting might be sabotaging your sleep, and how flow matters more than perfection — especially in a house full of toddlers.
This episode is equal parts chaotic debrief and grounding reset.
We also share what’s happening inside Back to Home Base, including the brand new Home Base Hosting Club theme: Petals & Plates — think spring hosting energy without the overwhelm. Florals, brunch, simple beauty, and real-life gatherings.
If your house feels loud, your schedule feels heavy, or you just need a reset — this one’s for you.
As always… keep showing up.
