Host Stephen Saint-Onge talks about the power and the need for nostalgia as touchstones in our crazy world.  

Stephen talks about the fact that we cannot control what we see and hear on the news - we may feel powerless - but we do have control over what our home environments and our home base are.  We can surround ourselves with good things.  We can remind ourselves as to what is important and meaningful in our own lives.  Nostalgia connects us to the past -- but it can also serve as a powerful tool to sustain us in our lives right now.

Melanie wears many creative hats and talks about her journey as a working actor and director in Hollywood and beyond - being a working mother to two grown children and  sharing her perspective on getting through the tough times and the importance of being able to keep moving forward.  She says she is her "third act" and she wants to keep doing work that is challenging, fulfilling and allows her to use all her talents at this stage of her life.

A wonderfully-inspiring conversation between two friends, a glimpse of Hollywood, of design in film and television - as well as a story of following your path and doing work that you love.  A great example of the ebb and flow of the seasons of life!

Host and designer Stephen Saint-Onge talks to his former producer and production person that changed her life and set the wheels in motion for an exciting new chapter in her personal journey.

Kathy had the great house, the family, the friends - she was a working mom of three teenagers and a wife living in a rural place where there was not much opportunity and working in a job that was not fulfilling.  Then, she found herself divorced, the kids were grown and off starting their lives - she asked herself "what's next for me?"

She wanted something more for herself.  She had an intuition that she had something more to offer and that there was a another chapter in her life that was calling her.  As Kathy says in the conversation - "I wanted more in my life than just surviving - I wanted to be thriving."  So, at the age of 58, she took the steps to change her life completely. 

Hear about her journey in this conversation with Stephen.  Her advice and experience will leave you inspired!

A must-listen conversation for those of you that are thinking of making change in your life and are wanting that extra push to take that first step to be motivated and empowered to move things forward.

Designer and host Stephen Saint-Onge shares ideas for why it is so timely and important to start your own Design Makeover Club now!  

In the midst of our crazy world and all the news of what is happening around the world... are you feeling helpless, powerless and sad?  You need to change things up and not continue to be bombarded by things you cannot change.  You need to inspire yourself to be motivated, joyful and simply get up and move forward.  

You can change things in your immediate life and home.  Stephen talks through how to do that and to help you continue to move forward!

We cannot change the outside world but you can take charge and do something about doing good in your own life!

Start a Design Makeover Club in your community.   Instead of a book club or walking club - try designing and making over a space with your friends in a new location every week.  Simply dedicate two hours of time changing things up in one room, shopping the house, each member bringing a car trunk full of props and styling accessories that they do not want or need any more to give them new life in the space that will get made over!  

It will help you feel connected and a part of something larger than yourself.  

Everyone needs to move forward in this crazy time in our world and we need to be motivated to see the joy in the simple things... Design and Change work hand in hand to be powerful tools to use to your advantage NOW.
