You don't have to quit your job to get your joy back in midlife. You have to redesign your work so it fits the life you actually want. That was the biggest lesson from my latest LUXEtalk conversation with Maria Rushing of the Women's Career Transformation Network. Maria is an Amazon bestselling author, a certified life coach, and a four-year breast cancer survivor. For ten years, she has helped...
A home sells on feeling, not just square footage. That's the thread running through my conversation with Michelle Golay of Faith Design, who has spent fifteen years turning empty or awkward rooms into spaces buyers can picture themselves living in. We talked about furniture placement, lighting, color, and the smaller touches that change how a house feels the moment someone walks through the...
Every real estate decision starts the same way. A client feels the pull toward what is safe, and a quieter pull toward what actually fits their life. That tension sits at the center of my conversation with Margie Warrell author of The Courage Gap, a leadership expert and bestselling author who has spent decades studying why people freeze at the exact moment they need to move. On this episode of...
Most of us were taught that power comes from the outside: a title, a number in the bank, or a house that says you made it. But every high performer I have met eventually hits the same wall. I got to sit down with Dana Theus of InPower Coaching on LUXEtalk, and she named that wall better than anyone I have interviewed. Dana built her coaching practice after twenty-five years across Fortune 50 companies...
Maybe you have sensed for a while that something in your relationship is off, but every time you try to name it, you talk yourself out of it. There are no bruises to point to, no single moment you can hold up as proof. That quiet, exhausting doubt is exactly what my conversation with Christine Dillard on The Truth She Showed Me set out to put into words. I host LUXEtalk because I believe the most...
If you have built something worth protecting, a portfolio of luxury property, a growing business, or a name people recognize, you have probably felt the quiet cost of success. The more you own, the more you have to lose, and the more attention you draw. That is exactly why I wanted to have this conversation. On this episode of LUXEtalk, I sat down with Hillary Johns, a Trial Lawyer, to walk through the...
True luxury isn't a price tag. It's rarity, permanence, and the kind of material choice that still looks extraordinary decades from now. Anyone can buy something expensive. Far fewer people know how to buy something that will hold up, both structurally and emotionally, without the delays and budget blowouts that come from sourcing stone across global quarries. On LUXEtalk, I had the pleasure of...
Two homes can have the same square footage, the same finishes, and the same asking price, and still leave buyers with completely different feelings the moment they walk through the door. One gets eight offers. The other sits. That gap has less to do with paint color than most sellers think. On my podcast, LUXEtalk, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Claudette Rowley of Claudette Rowley Design,...
Guests don't just want a bed and a roof anymore. They want a stay that feels curated, photographed, and worth remembering, right down to the throw pillows. That’s exactly what I explore with Nisha Franklin of From Where on a recent episode of my podcast, LUXEtalk. Nisha shares how she and her team turned that shift into a platform, and what it means for anyone who owns, manages, or designs a...
Most agents will tell you a luxury listing won't move because of price, presentation, or timing. But every once in a while, a property checks every visible box—flawless staging, sharp pricing, beautiful photography—and still refuses to sell. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Colleen McCann of Style Rituals, the author of Crystal Rx, a former editorial fashion stylist of fifteen years, and the...
