And if you're feeling nervous about choosing the wrong colour, Sheri shares an important reminder: paint is fixable and confidence is built by doing.

How to Overcome Creative Block When Stress is High ( For Busy Women and Moms)

Tuesday, March 3, 2026 • Duration 05:32

Have you ever hit a season where your creativity just… disappears?

Where motivation is at an all-time low, stress is high, and you feel like you have absolutely nothing left to give?

In this honest and personal episode of Home DIYs for Busy Women, I’m sharing what it looks like to move through a creative block during a stressful season of life. My husband recently underwent cervical spine surgery after months of constant pain, and leading up to it my medical mind was working overtime. I was drained. Overwhelmed. Uninspired.

And I know I’m not the only one.

If you’re a busy mom juggling family life, work, stress, and the mental load- and you’ve found yourself stuck in creative burnout- this episode is for you.

Inside this episode, we talk about:

Why stress often leads to creative block
How to acknowledge overwhelm without shame
The power of stepping away (yes, walks really are magic)
Why talking about it helps reset your nervous system
How to restart slowly with small, joyful steps forward

Because here’s the truth: life feels heavy sometimes. And in those seasons, pushing harder isn’t the answer. Gentle momentum is.

If you’ve been feeling uninspired, anxious, or creatively stuck, I hope this conversation feels like a deep exhale.

Press play, take a breath, and let’s find our joy again- one small step at a time.

From one DIYer to another,

Find your Joy 💛

Go Granny Speed: The Secret to DIY Confidence

Wednesday, February 18, 2026 • Duration 05:38

This week on Home DIYs for Busy Women, we’re talking about something that might surprise you… bravery.

Not the dramatic, life-or-death kind. The everyday kind.

Over Family Day weekend in Whistler, I watched my daughters (ages 6 and 4) try skiing for the first time. My four-year-old was all confidence and zero fear. My six-year-old needed a little more reassurance. And I had a choice to make to stay at the bottom of the hill… or strap on skis after 14 years and lead by example.

Heart pounding, I said yes.

That chairlift moment reminded me of something powerful:

Bravery isn’t the absence of nerves.
It’s deciding you’re strong and capable and going anyway.

And the more I thought about it, the more I realized this has everything to do with DIY.

If you’ve ever:

Overthought starting a home project
Felt intimidated by painting, drywall repair, or caulking
Worried you’d “mess it up”
Scrolled Pinterest and felt behind

This episode is for you.

In today’s conversation, we talk about:

Why children approach new skills with confidence
How motherhood builds resilience
The real reason DIY feels intimidating
Why confidence comes AFTER action — not before
How to stop waiting to feel ready and just start

DIY isn’t about being stylish on your first run.

It’s about being willing to go granny speed.
It’s about falling once… maybe twice.
And getting back up.

If you’re a busy working mom who wants to feel more confident tackling projects at home - this episode will give you the mindset shift you need.

Because maybe the bravest thing you can do this year isn’t skiing a green run…

Maybe it’s finally picking up the paintbrush.

Motherhood, Confidence, & DIY: Why You're More Capable than You think

Wednesday, February 11, 2026 • Duration 07:20

In today’s episode of Home DIYs for Busy Women, I’m pivoting a little from practical DIY tips and sharing something more personal - how motherhood completely changed the way I see myself, my confidence, and my willingness to learn new skills.

Motherhood is messy, beautiful, exhausting… and incredibly empowering. After becoming a mom, I realized just how strong we truly are and that realization became the driving force behind learning DIY skills in my own home.

If you’ve ever felt not ready, not good enough, or unsure about starting something new, whether that’s a DIY project or a personal goal, this episode is for you.

This is a gentle, encouraging conversation about confidence, resilience, and giving yourself grace as you grow into the next version of yourself.

✨ In This Episode, We Talk About:

How motherhood reshaped my confidence and resilience
Why DIY became more than just home projects- it became empowerment
The connection between mindset and learning new skills
Three practical ways to stand in your confidence today:
- Stop the cycle of negative self-talk
- Reflect on what you’ve already accomplished
- Give yourself grace during busy seasons of life

💛 A Note From Me
If you’re a busy mom juggling kids, work, and the endless to-do list-- I see you. You are capable right now, exactly as you are. Sometimes the biggest shift isn’t learning a new skill… it’s believing you’re allowed to try.

Why I Started Home DIYs for Busy Women

Sunday, January 11, 2026 • Duration 01:03

Welcome to Home DIYs for Busy Women - a safe, encouraging space to dream, learn, make mistakes, and talk about the real side of home DIY and life.

I’m Sheri, a married, working mom of two living on the West Coast of British Columbia. My DIY journey started in 2017 when my husband and I bought our first home. It needed a lot of work, and hiring contractors simply wasn’t an option — so we learned as we went.

I naturally gravitated toward the detail and finishing work, and along the way I learned through trial, error, and more than a few “what was I thinking?” moments. I often felt overwhelmed, under-equipped, and unsure and that’s exactly why this podcast exists.

This is a place where we talk about DIY from a woman’s perspective:

Projects you can actually tackle
Confidence over perfection
Learning as you go (and messing up sometimes)
Creating a home you love, even with limited time, money, or experience

Whether you’re dreaming about your first project, halfway through a reno, or just looking for encouragement, you’re in the right place.

Life and DIY is better when it’s shared.
Thanks so much for being here.
