Renovation Burnout Is Real: How To Avoid It

Renovating your home isn't just about floorplans, finishes, or finding the perfect team — as much as those are important, it's also about managing your energy and emotions.

In this episode, I’m getting real about renovation burnout. It’s a challenge that rarely gets discussed in the renovation world, yet it affects many homeowners when their lives don't stop during major home transformations.

So, let’s talk… inside, I’m covering what it is, how to spot it, and most importantly, how to sidestep it with some smart (and kind) planning.

Renovating can be an emotional rollercoaster, from the highs of being granted planning permission to the lows of decision fatigue on-site. I’ll walk you through what to expect and share some practical tools and personal tips for decision batching and energy management. And why it’s okay to take strategic breaks during your build.

Join me inside so you can learn to watch out for the burnout signs, and how with proper planning and awareness, you can create your dream home without sacrificing your wellbeing along the way.
