If you’re carrying the mental load, managing routines and clutter, navigating expectations, and trying to create calm in the middle of real life, this show is for you. I’m Christy, from The Common Nest, and for over twenty years I’ve been researching, practicing, and supporting others to create happier, healthier homes through a holistic approach. Homemaking is more than cleaning or decorating. It’s about mindset, emotional wellbeing, routines, boundaries, and the invisible systems shaping your daily life. Each week, we explore the mindset, motivation, and practical methods that help you overcome overwhelm and create a home you truly love. From decluttering and routines to seasonal living, decorating. Here we are redefining modern homemaking and looking at the whole picture, because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. If you’re ready for home without hustle, calm, clarity, and a space that supports you as much as you support everyone else, you’re in the right place. Your path to a happier, healthier home begins here.

After years of avoiding the word homemaking , I’m finally claiming it, and renaming this show Modern Homemaking . This isn’t just a new title. It’s a shift in clarity, courage, and calling. For a long time, I resisted using the words homemaking and homemaker in my messaging.
