The FloraPine Home Podcast Ry + Ash

One of the beautiful things about the internet is that it can connect you to people all around the world that you normally wouldn't have a chance to connect with. About a year ago, a friend of mine sent me a link to Homes & Havens and said she thought I would love their mission. She was not wrong. I absolutely love it.

On this week's episode we have a chance to connect with Kaysie Strickland who is the founder of Homes & Havens, a non-profit in Chattanooga Tennessee that celebrates women overcoming a life crisis by creating a haven in her own home that will inspire her to rebuild, heal, and find joy in new beginnings. We are so inspired by her mission and the havens they are creating for women in recovery!

Happy Wednesday, friends! We hope that your summer has started off wonderfully and that you are soaking up and enjoying these warm summer days :) On this week's episode we share about a book that we recently finished reading, The Year of Less. This book has given us a renewed perspective and excitement for summer and simple living. We first heard about this book from Young House Love's Podcast - and as soon as we finished listening to the episode, we headed to the bookstore to purchase our own copy. We are so grateful we did!

Happy Wednesday! On this week's episode we chat all about dreaming in marriage. Maybe you and your spouse are like us where you are very opposite people so your dreams often times look different! We share what we have learned throughout our marriage, and how we encourage the dreams in each other.

Ending Question: What dream do you find yourself daydreaming about?

Happy Spring! On today's podcast episode, we get a little personal and share about a photo that recently got us reflective about our past few years of marriage. We take a few minutes to reflect on what we would learn from a younger version of ourselves as a couple, and what we might say in a letter written to a younger version of us :)

Ending Question: If you could write a letter to your younger self, what would you say?

On today's podcast episode, we take things a little bit deeper as we chat about loving your spouse through depression. Heather Bjur of Valley Christian Counseling Center walks us through some of the early symptoms of depression and how to love your spouse well if they are walking through a season of depression. We are so grateful for her time and her valuable insight!

Ending Question: What stigmas do you have surrounding mental health?

Today is a real good day because we have the honor of introducing you to the one and only, Carrie of Gathered. Boutique Rentals & Events!

On this week's episode of the FloraPine Home Podcast, we have an amazing chat with Carrie about creating a space that is functional for you and your family, one that reflects you and your personality, and a simple transformation that you can do to a space that requires no money at all. We may be biased, but we think it's worth a listen!

Ending Question: What are the things that you really hold dear that are important to you, that spark a little bit of joy, and that you really cherish in your home? What do they say about you as a family, person, or couple?
