In this episode of Heart of the Hustle, I sit down with interior designer and first-time author Mary Elizabeth Denmon to unpack what it really looks like to redesign your life—literally and figuratively.
With nearly 30 years in interior design, Mary Elizabeth shares how her passion for transforming spaces led her and her husband to sell their home, hit the road in a luxury RV, and navigate 17 months of full-time travel with no permanent address. We talk about the unexpected challenges of RV life, the impact it had on her marriage, and the powerful decision to document the entire experience in a book.
Whether you’re a creative entrepreneur, dreaming of full-time travel, or somewhere in the messy middle of your own pivot, this episode is for you. It’s real, it’s honest, and it’s full of reminders that reinvention doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.
