The Breakup Episode: What Emptiness Taught Me About Home

Season 1 · Episode 4

Wednesday, June 18, 2025 • Duration 21:39

This one's vulnerable, babe. I’m recording from my dad’s freshly designed home, but back in my own space . . . I’m sitting in the raw middle of a breakup. In this episode, I open up about the transition, the emptiness, and the quiet beauty of rebuilding home after a chapter ends.

Whether you're moving through heartbreak, shifting into solo living, or simply feeling like your space doesn’t quite fit anymore, this is your reminder that emptiness isn’t a failure. It’s fertile. It's a beginning.

I’m sharing:

Why the “mattress on the floor” phase is sacred
The power of anchoring your next chapter in one small object (like a throw pillow)
How to create ritual and safety when your nervous system is in survival mode
The one thing I deeply regret not doing in my last space, and how I’m doing it differently now

The Real Reason Your Space Doesn’t Feel Like You (And Nobody Talks About It)

Season 1 · Episode 1

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 • Duration 22:38

I’m Ariel Magidson — interior designer, author of Your Space Made Simple, founder of Ariel Arts (@arielarts), and your cozy corner design bestie. I’ve worked with clients around the globe — from Fortune 500 headquarters to real-life apartments and tiny studios — and through it all, one truth always emerges:

✨ Our homes are a mirror of who we are — and who we’re becoming.

This podcast isn’t just about design tips (though you’ll get plenty of those). It’s about how your space holds your story — the messy, magical, healing parts — and how transforming your home can help you transform your life.

In each episode, we explore:

The energetics of space — how your home affects your mood, nervous system, and habits
Holistic design principles — blending intention, emotion, and functionality
Client transformations and personal stories — because real homes > Pinterest-perfect ones
Accessible tools and rituals — so you can create beauty on any budget
And most importantly — your own inner voice

Whether you’re a design lover, a renter with a tiny budget, a creative soul in transition, or someone simply craving more meaning in your space — this podcast is for you.

💫 Episode 1: The Design Advice No One’s Talking About

In this first episode, I talk honestly about why I started this podcast — and what I felt was missing in the design world. From rearranging my childhood bedroom to designing global offices, going viral on TikTok, and writing a book, this episode lays the foundation.

I didn’t want to make another podcast about throw pillows or color trends. I wanted a space to talk about how your home can heal you.

🎧 Listen if you’ve ever thought:

Welcome In

Season 1

Wednesday, May 14, 2025 • Duration 00:44

I created It Starts With Home to talk about the things we don’t always say out loud. How our space holds us, reflects us, and sometimes even heals us.

This short teaser is a little love note about why I started this, what you can expect, and how your home can be more than just a place you live.

If you're craving a space that actually feels like you - you're in the right place.

I’m so glad you’re here. 💛
