You ever think about how most of us are in some kind of service job, even if it doesn’t look like the usual “customer service” stuff? We’re all out here interacting, showing up, giving something of ourselves... and people walk away with their own experience of that. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what makes those interactions actually feel good—for them, but also for us.

This episode is me sorting through memories, moments, and maybe a few patterns I’ve started to notice. Is “good service” really about the script, or is it about something deeper..connection, attention, intention? Let’s unpack that together.

For a long time, I convinced myself that structure was the key to avoiding a psychological breakdown. Like many of us, I found comfort in routine..it gave me a sense of control, of safety. But as I got older, I noticed something shift. My definition of structure started to blur with my work, and eventually, I began to equate the two. That worked… until it didn’t.

In this episode, I’m opening up about the journey of untangling structure from identity, and what it means to seek stability without losing yourself in the process. If you’ve ever felt afraid of the unknown or found yourself clinging to routine just to stay afloat, this one’s for you.

As an interior designer, one of the questions I get asked all the time is, "What's your design style?" And honestly, I don’t like answering that question because I feel like I'm putting myself in a box. But recently, I took a walk around my neighborhood and couldn’t help but take mental notes on some design styles I saw...some things I loved, and others… not so much. So in this episode, I’m sharing my personal design loves, some MAJOR pet peeves. I will say that this one’s a little opinionated but if you're down to bear with me, let’s get into it.

Not all emotions are light and happy. Some are heavy. Some sit in your chest in a way that’s… inconvenient. Today, I’m talking about two of those: envy and jealousy. They seem like twins on the outside, but inside? I think they’re night and day, still related but more like distant cousins. And the more I thought about them, the more memories surfaced. Times I felt it. Times it changed me. Times it actually helped me. So I started wondering: why are we so quick to suppress these emotions? Why do we shame ourselves or each other for feeling them, when sometimes… they’re actually useful? That’s what I’m unpacking in this episode. Let's talk about the feelings we’re told to ignore.

Over the weekend, I got married, and it was a dream. But of course I wouldn't be me if I didn't make a few unexpected turns when it came to traditions. So in a very Taylor fashion, it's only natural that I share a little debrief with you of the day. Allow me to take you down memory lane to share with you how we took the traditional wedding and made it our own with a few homey touches.

How often do you ask for advice before doing something? There was a time in my life when I felt the need to ask everyone I crossed paths with for their opinion. Even worse, I questioned no one's feedback. This led to a lot of mental turmoil. Since then, I've decided to revisit this peculiar societal habit of being swayed by others' opinions. So, join me as we explore and debunk this together.

Let me ask you this.. what do you think comes first the chicken or the egg? Okay now imagine getting asked "what's your experience" from your interviewer as a student that's fresh out of school. I remember this feeling so vividly and unfortunately it's not an uncommon one.. since then I've had some thoughts cross my mind and I'm going to share them with you today.
