Redesigning Health and Home

In this cozy, daydream-fueled episode, Kerri & Meg sketch their vision for a device-free wellness retreat in Wisconsin —think a women's retreat in a barn with high ceilings, a chef’s kitchen, gentle yoga and massage, farm-to-table cooking classes, nature hikes, and tiny cabins circling a campfire. They talk through why boredom sparks creativity, how a no-phones policy rebuilds real connection, and the first practical steps to make it real for guests who need rest, community, and a reset.RHH Shopping Page:https://rhh-shopping-2025-goproductmgt.replit.app/RHH Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@RedesigningHealthHome#Creativity #Daydreaming #Wellness #DigitalDetox #wellnessretreat #GlampingEpisode Quote:"I'm very serious about the no phones—maybe you get 30 minutes a day to check in, and that's it."

In this new episode of Redesigning Health and Home mediator, Linda Durack unpacks needs an interest vs positions, shows how to reframe loaded language during family conflicts, and walks through what is BATNA vs WATNA so you can negotiate with more clarity. She shares, facilitative mediation tools like reframing, active listening, the Thomas-Kilmann conflict modes, and the BIA (before – incident – after) lens to stay future-focused and co-create durable agreements. #conflict resolution #NeedsAnInterest #Mediation #FutureFocused #ReframingResources shared by Linda:https://www.ccrchicago.org/https://kilmanndiagnostics.com/assessments/thomas-kilmann-instrument-one-assessment-person/RHH Shopping Page: Come shop our Curated Picks: https://rhh-shopping-2025-goproductmgt.replit.app/Follow Kerri & Meg on their socialsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1HHQBhTq1h/?mibextid=wwXIfrInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/redesigning_health_and_home?igsh=MWl1MmRuYm8wc3htYw==

Meg and Kerri ditch resolution pressure and share a gentle goal setting framework for 2026 using their something old something new goals format—keep the habits that work, try one new thing, and drop what’s no longer serving you. With real-life examples—bedtime stretching, the four out of seven rule for skincare and snacking, swapping afternoon coffee for tea to ease anxiety, beginner strength training with heavier reps, weekly grocery planning, the one-in-one-out closet rule, and mindful Amazon batching—they show how to redesign health, relationships, and home without the must-do list.#Goals #RedesignYourLife #SelfCare #HealthyBoundaries #Relationships #MarriageMoments

Meg and Kerri crowdsource their Word of the Year ritual and read listeners’ 2026 words—alignment, gratitude, calisthenic (beauty + strength), intention, explore (Italy + Duolingo), grace, trust, fruitful, resilience, thrive, curiosity, peaceful and powerful, and peace and harmony—then share their own: Trust (Meg) and Growth (Keri). They show how a North Star word can guide daily decisions (mirror reminders, trip planning, relationships) and offer word of the year ideas plus simple tips on how to pick a guiding word. If you’re ready to pause, reflect, and choose your 2026 word, this episode makes it friendly and doable#wordof2026 #Newyear #2026goals #wordoftheyear #family #rhhcommunity #2026vibes #2026words

Kerri & Meg look back on 2025; their first 10 months of Redesigning Health and Home—15 guest interviews, a new logo, listener emails rolling in—and how “redesign” shows up in small daily shifts, from empty nest home redesign stories to GLP-1 nutrition support explained. Highlights include Whitney English’s “Organize First, Decorate Second,” CrossFit at 50 courage, adaptive fashion, trauma-informed living, and even Disney travel planner built-in commission tips that make trips smoother and cost the same. They close with gratitude, a Listen Notes top 10% nod, and a teaser for 2026 “word of the year” goals.#guestinterview #redesign #2025recap #2025yearinreview #routine #planning2026

In this candid conversation, Kathleen Paley (The Reframe) shares how values-based minimalism and financial independence helped her buy back your time strategy—cutting Target runs, auditing family schedules, and even reducing TV nights. She explains how she learned to set boundaries in big law, negotiated a two-day workweek, and chose a staggered FIRE early retirement with her husband, reframing money from buying things to buying time, plus practical health tactics like a treadmill desk and standing during month-long trials. Listeners get actionable ideas on consumption “use-it-up” challenges, points-and-miles travel, and community volunteering that turns reclaimed hours into purpose.Find Kathleen:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-reframe/id1755909152Spotify Podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/show/1Mu7Rzh2vnVTpbGO7qixG6?si=1a2724fbdca24434 Substack: https://thereframepodcast.substack.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kathleen_the_reframe_podcast/

Meg and Kerri play a holiday “Something’s Gotta Go” game—“tangled lights vs sticking your hand in the raw turkey?”—and trade cozy, low-stress ideas you can actually use, like gutter clips for Christmas lights and kid-made brown paper gift wrap. They also spark the Advent calendar vs Elf debate, chat traditional vs themed trees, and share festive DIYs like a DIY ugly sweater with lights you can make from thrifted finds. Light, nostalgic, and practical for anyone shaping simple family traditions this season.#AllIWantForChristmasIsYou #NewYearsEve #CozyAtHome
