What drives someone to seek a life that truly supports them? In this episode, Nate Berkus shares his journey of designing a life centred around presence, beauty, and the power of environment. Nate reflects on how our surroundings subtly influence our habits and emotions, drawing from his own experiences and decades of design expertise. He opens up about how profound loss reshaped his understanding of home and the moments that matter most.
With stories like a transformative Oprah makeover, Nate illustrates how small, intentional changes can foster healing and connection. His conversation with host Eric Zimmer touches on themes of grace, human connection, and the moments in between that define our lives.

Through his story, you'll find insights on slowing down and making thoughtful decisions to create spaces that reflect who we are and aspire to be. As Nate and Eric explore these themes, they challenge us to consider how we can make our environments a true reflection of ourselves.
