Hey Design Dashers! It’s just us on this episode—kicking off 2025 with big dreams, fresh intentions, and a whole lot of energy. If you’ve ever felt like the new year sneaks up on you (hi, mid-January), don’t worry—you’re not alone. We’re here to chat through all the excitement, the goals, and even the awkward lessons we’re taking into this year.
Let’s get real for a second: 2024? A mixed bag. For one of us, it flew by in a blur. For the other? It felt like it would never end. Either way, we’re determined to make 2025 different. More presence, less autopilot. More creativity, less burnout. We’re calling it: this is the year of intentional selfishness (in the best way possible).
We also shared some HUGE news. Ready? Our brand-new Design Dash Community is LIVE! 🥳 We’ve built a space just for interior designers who want to thrive. It’s your go-to spot to chat about everything from the business side of design to the creative hurdles that pop up on every project. Plus, we’ve got workshops, events, and all kinds of resources to help you level up. It’s like your favorite group chat, but better—and way more organized.
We also reflect on what worked (and didn’t) in 2024, share how we’re tackling the temptation to overcommit, and spill our personal goals for infusing creativity into every corner of our lives.
Here’s what we’re talking about in this episode:
- The “Year of No”: Why we’re letting go of commitments that don’t spark joy or move the needle.
- Slowing Down Time: How we’re finding meaningful moments in the day-to-day grind.
- Creativity Without Strings: Whether it’s sketching, photography, or just trying something new for you, we’re all about tapping into our creative sides—without turning it into a side hustle.
- Community Matters: Why we built the Design Dash Community (spoiler: it’s not just about us—it’s about YOU).
We’re already feeling the good vibes for 2025. This year is about doing less but making it count. So, if you’re like us and want to dive into a year of intention, creativity, and connection, you’re in the right place.
PS: If you’re not already in the new Design Dash Community, what are you waiting for? Seriously. Go sign up. It’s where the magic is happening. We’ll see you in there.
