042: Coming Home To A New Life with Rebecca West

Published: Nov. 30, 2018, 11:30 a.m.

Interior designer and founder of Seriously Happy Homes Rebecca West speaks to one of the most pressing questions post-heartbreak: how do I live inside what was, amongst the many reminders of failure and loss, and do I have to? She talks about the importance of redesigning your home, reimagining your life and finding something new—an adventure that began inside the house she shared with her ex-husband and started with a fresh coat of black paint on the ceiling and downsizing to a twin size bed. This conversation, however, is not only about embracing single life and committing to the healing nature of solitude but about prioritizing intention and self-work before partnering again as well as the commitment, mental shift, and daily choice that comes with marriage. At minute 10, Rebecca joins Chelsea to talk about prioritizing adventure over the status quo, the experience of joy over the fear of losing one's source of joy, the complexities of entrepreneurship and our human need—and responsibility—to reach out and ask someone if they really are okay. —To connect with Rebecca, visit her:Website: www.happystartsathome.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/happyseriouslyFacebook: www.facebook.com/happyseriouslyTwitter: https://twitter.com/happyseriouslyHer book, Happy Starts At Home: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0997623705/ref=cm_sw_su_dp—Work with Chelsea at: www.breakupward.com/shopFind Chelsea’s website at: www.breakupward.comSign up for Chelsea’s newsletter at: bit.ly/tyhbletterConnect and send in your questions and/or letters on Instagram.com/thankyouheartbreak or by email Chelsea@breakupward.com
