Description
Today’s All Star episode comes from mid-way through season 1 of TLS, and made a huge splash back when it aired and is definitely worth a second listen -- or a first time listen if you are new to the show. : )
Designer and blogger, Kate Arends, of the very popular Wit and Delight, goes into a wide array of subjects including what minimalism is really about, the perceived pressure she feels to make her home amazing, her past mental health challenges, and she dishes out the most reshared quote in TLS history about authenticity.
This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to learn more about minimalism, authenticity, thriving with mental health issues, or designing for Target.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND OUT ABOUT
How homeownership is going for Kate and her husband, and the journey they took to find the home they recently purchased.
Kate's thoughts on how minimalism has been warped in the design world.
Why Kate has devoted herself to "optimal-izing" her struggles with perfectionism and control.
The evolution of Kate's design aesthetic as she creates her new home, and the pressures she can feel from creating a space given she has a new home line out for Target.
The challenges Kate faced with working within the constraints of a launch with Target for Wit and Delight and how she navigated those challenges to create her collection.
How the Target collection has changed Kate's personally and in her career.
How Kate stays grounded during such an upswing in her career.
The struggles Kate has had with mental health issues including anxiety, depression, and ADHD and her wish for others with mental health issues.
