Shailey & Katie's Lemonade Stand: Design Moms Finding the Happy Balance as Creative Entrepreneurs

In this season finale of Shailey & Katie’s Lemonade Stand , we’re making a case for something that might feel a little rebellious: happiness doesn’t come from achievement—it comes from alignment. We unpack the difference between chasing external wins and actually feeling internally right in your life. Because alignment? It’s quieter. More intuitive. And honestly… easier to ignore. Until it’s not....

In this episode, we’re getting honest about what it actually takes to work from home without losing your mind (or your dining table). We’re sharing real-life strategies for creating a workspace that works—even if you don’t have a Pinterest-worthy office or a door that closes. We talk about how to manage both physical clutter and the mental clutter that comes with working where you live, plus simpl...

Design a kitchen for real life—not a photoshoot. (But, like,  also make it cute) We challenge the idea that kitchens need to be pristine to be “good,” and instead reframe mess, wear, and lived-in energy as proof that a space is working. We explore how to create functional, inviting spaces that support your daily rhythm, from rethinking formal dining rooms to embracing multi-use areas that actually...

If kids come with stuff… what do we actually do with all of it? In this episode, Shailey and Katie break down how to create kids’ spaces that actually work—for real life, not Pinterest. We’re talking functional layouts, calming environments, and systems that help kids take ownership of their space (without you becoming the full-time cleanup crew). We get into the balance every parent is navigating...

In this episode, Shailey climbs up on her living room soapbox — and honestly, it’s a hill she’s willing to die on. The living room is the most used, most judged, and most confusing room in the house… and somehow we’ve all been convinced it’s supposed to look like a catalog instead of a place where people actually live. We talk about why so many living rooms feel “off,” the biggest mistakes people...

Intentional living, home organization, and why winter has us suddenly side-eyeing every drawer in the house. We dig into the emotional side of decluttering, not just the “get rid of stuff” part, but the identity, guilt, and nostalgia wrapped up in it. Shailey shares what actually stuck with her from the KonMari method, especially the idea that letting something go can be an act of gratitude, not f...

In this episode, Katie gets honest about her dopamine detox era — what kicked it off, what surprised her, and what actually changed on the other side. Addiction, sober-curious, codependency and learning to save her own life. We talk about how modern life quietly trains our brains to chase constant stimulation, why numbing behaviors can increase anxiety instead of reducing it, and what happens when...

One-Size-Does NOT-Fit-All! Ever wonder why some people thrive with strict rules… while others immediately want to do the opposite the second a rule exists?

Register for Katie's habit workshop: Habits That Stick at ohkatieday.com/workshop We...

In this episode, we’re talking about The Artist’s Way —what it actually is, why it keeps coming back into culture, and how to approach creativity without turning it into another self-improvement pressure cooker.

Style That Feels Like Home. We dive into the empowering relationship between clothes, confidence, and the bodies we live in.

The conversation moves through body neutrality, signature style, and why comfort matters just as mu...

In this episode, Shailey and Katie dive into the real, practical side of gratitude — the kind that actually rewires your brain, improves your relationships, and helps you show up as a calmer, less-reactive human (science says so).
