As we begin a new year, we’re choosing a different approach one rooted in clarity, purpose, and ease. In Designing a Life with Intention: Setting the Tone for the Year Ahead, we explore why intentions are often more powerful than resolutions, and how they allow us to move forward with flexibility rather than pressure.

This episode is a thoughtful conversation about slowing down and becoming more intentional with how we live, work, and design our lives. Instead of chasing perfection or rigid goals, we focus on defining how we want to feel in the year ahead and allowing those feelings to guide our choices, rhythms, and environments.

From personal habits and creative energy to the spaces we call home, we discuss how intention can serve as a framework for everyday decisions, helping us stay grounded, present, and aligned as the year unfolds. This episode invites listeners to set the tone for the year in a way that feels sustainable, meaningful, and deeply personal.

Street Style Takeaways

1. Intentions focus on direction, not perfection
Resolutions are often outcome-based and rigid. Intentions allow room for progress, setbacks, and real life—while still keeping you aligned with what matters most.

2. How you want to feel matters more than what you want to achieve
Instead of asking “What do I want to accomplish?” we ask, “How do I want to live, move, and feel this year?” Ease, creativity, presence, joy, calm—these become guiding principles.

3. Intentions can evolve—and that’s a good thing
Life shifts, seasons change, and priorities adjust. Intentions are meant to move with you, not box you in.

4. Your home should support your intentions
Whether it’s creating more calm, carving out creative space, or simplifying routines, your environment plays a huge role in how well you live out your intentions day to day.

5. Small, consistent choices matter more than big declarations
Intentions show up in everyday moments—how you start your morning, how you design your space, how you protect your time.
