From Set Life to Site Life: How HGTV Shaped Our Design Journey

from The Well Lived Podcast · host Sydni Hoffman and Nicole Bechbache

TV taught us how to pivot, adapt, and deliver! In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on our HGTV days - the good, the glamorous, and yes, the gritty. We’re sharing what really went down behind the scenes, what we loved, what challenged us, and why we ultimately made the leap from working on set to working on-site full-time.We’ll also reflect on some unforgettable career highlights, including projects with Michelle Obama, Melissa McCarthy, Nate & Jeremiah, and the Property Brothers. These incredible experiences (and some serious trial by fire) taught us lessons we carry into every design today. Whether it's a small fix or a total transformation, we’ve learned how to make just about anything work beautifully.For more The Well Lived Podcast, follow along at:@thewelllivedpodcast on Instagramwww.thewelllivedpodcast.comTo learn more about our interior design firm, Stafford House Studio, follow along at:@staffordhousestudio on Instagramwww.staffordhousestudio.comThis episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
