This week Erin and Katie catch up … with each other! We talk about new places, new spaces and finding our way through the transitions we’re both facing in life. With love, work and our list of passion projects. We dive into how we’re both trying to strike a balance with our online presence and our respective goals. We also discuss how not to overwhelm people when you have so many big ideas, plans and purpose you want to share (how to build up to the big conversations without intimidating the people in your life).

Jess Lively is passionate about intention (and purpose!). She’s also has a newly launched podcast aptly titled “The Lively Show”. Jess’ purpose is to help people live lives with intention. In 2009 she started a blog to share her message about living with intention. In fact, this mission paired with the ability to be in control of her career was the intentional reason that she took her first business, an accessory business, full-time. She has a career doing what she is meant to do, with a life that is far from perfect, but fills her heart with gratitude. It sure wasn’t easy, but that’s a long story (which you can read here) and by listening to this week’s podcast.

This week we talk to “DIY soulmates” Scott and Kim Vargo. They are a husband and wife duo from Chicago, living, working, and playing amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. In 2007, they purchased their first home together – a teeny, tiny condo on the second floor of a yellow brick corner building. Scott and Kim began to flex their DIY skills with their first home. At the encouragement of friends – who wanted Scott and Kim to share their home projects online – their blog, Yellow Brick Home, was born.

Fast forward to the summer of 2013: Scott and Kim said goodbye to the second floor walk-up and purchased a fixer upper of a house. They are living out their dream of nursing an old home back to life, sharing the lessons and laughter along the way.
