Being Home With Hunker

Today on the show we have Ariel Kaye, founder of Parachute, a bedding brand that specializes in what’s soft and cozy. Think: bedding, towels, robes, slippers, pillows, and blankets, as well as other home decor items.

Ariel believes that since our homes are our personal spaces, we should be aware of the things that we care about, and to not get so caught up in the dos and don’ts of design trends. We should think about the purpose of the room and design our home to support our lifestyle and what brings us joy.

On the Being Home with Hunker podcast, Ariel discusses why she decided to create Parachute, and the importance of setting up our bedroom as a sanctuary. She also talks about how her love for entertaining turned into a love for creating intentional spaces, and how small and accessible edits to our spaces can make things feel fresh.

Today on the show we have Kristina Hollinger, a feng shui expert and author.

In this episode, Kristina shares ideas on how to use the ancient Chinese art and philosophy of feng shui in your home to attract abundance in every area of your life, including your career, love, helpful people, and wealth.

10 years ago, Kristina started using feng shui after wanting to spruce up her apartment. And after decorating and arranging furniture in her space using feng shui adjustments, she says the months after that were a whirlwind of where she found out she and her husband were expecting their first baby, her husband’s career advanced, and she started to feel more fulfilled in her day-to-day life. So, what did she do? She got certified as a Feng Shui Consultant at the Feng Shui School of Chicago.

In our conversation, we talk about the top three spaces she recommends people focus on first when beginning feng shui; she talks about how 2022 is the Year of the Tiger, and what that means for us; plus, she has a really easy feng shui cure everyone can do at home to attract abundance into our lives.

As she says, it’s her “intention to teach you about the magic of feng shui so that you too can design the life you deserve.”

Rachel Moriarty is a San Diego-based, award winning interior designer. Her work has been featured in publications such as Vision Magazine and San Diego Home and Garden Lifestyle, and she has also been featured on HGTV and The Design Network. And in addition to her design work, she also teaches Visibility Coaching to other interior designers on digital strategy and positioning.

Rachel loves to celebrate color (in her work and her personal style) and her multicultural roots. They go hand-in-hand. She is an example of what finding joy in our work looks like. Her style is colorfully coastal, and as she says, this either magnetizes people to her or repels them. If you don’t like color, you need not apply. She describes herself as an introvert in extrovert clothing and has had a career path where every job along the way has been preparing her for the work she does as an interior designer. Rachel also shares how she prepares herself daily to tap into her creativity – and how she works with her ADHD to get into that creative space.

As she says, the more fun she has, the better it gets: the better her projects get, and the better her clients get. If you want to smile today, listen to the podcast just to hear her infectious laugh. We dare you not to feel inspired after hearing this conversation.

Today on the show we feature Trinity Mouzon Wofford, co-founder and CEO of Golde, a superfoods wellness company that features products such as latte blends, face masks, and smoothie boosters.

Trinity grew up on almond butter and sardines, so it was no surprise when she found herself interested in exploring the intersection of wellness with natural beauty – which led to the creation of Golde with her partner Issey Kobori.

They launched with just one product – the Original Turmeric Latte Blend – out of their one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn. And as their company has grown, so has their space – they have since moved to a new home in upstate New York.

We talk about the 1865 house she and Issey recently bought in Hudson Valley; their process in decorating their home; and how gardening is a point of inspiration for her, teaching her about tenacity and perseverance, which she then applies in other areas of her life.

Cliff is a Los Angeles-based interior designer and entrepreneur. Cliff’s approach to design comes from a personal level that feels collected, curated, doesn’t have to be precious. It’s all about the mix.

His work has been published many times in magazines such as Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, Wall Street Journal, and In Style, so may you recognize his name. Or perhaps, you remember him as a co-host and judge from Ellen’s Design Challenge, a furniture design competition on HGTV, from executive producer, Ellen DeGeneres. (Who also happens to be one of Cliff’s long-standing clients.)

In this conversation with Cliff, we talk about the connection between fashion and interior design, his favorite types of projects to take on these days, why he doesn’t want to be ruled by his possessions, and how designing or defining how one lives is an incredible opportunity to communicate something about yourself.

Cliff is also the founder of the design firm, Matt Blacke, and the co-founder of a vintage furniture showroom in Los Angeles called Galerie Half. To learn more, visit:
