Episode 38: When Your Home Is Failing You: Redesigning Spaces to Restore Sanity for Working Moms with Jan Odesanya
Many moms think they’re failing at home but what if it’s actually their homes that are failing them? In this conversation with Jan Odesanya, interior design expert, we explore how environment shapes mental health, why guilt so often lingers around household expectations, and the hidden friction points that quietly drain working moms every day. Jan shares practical, life-giving design strategies, a powerful story of one mom who discovered she didn’t need more discipline but more support, and how her Design on Demand innovation is helping families create beautiful, functional spaces without the overwhelm. From quick fixes you can do in 30 minutes to redefining design as self-care, this episode is about reclaiming your space so you can reclaim your sanity.
Key Takeaways:
How your home environment directly affects stress, burnout, and emotional well-being.
The top everyday “friction points” in a home that quietly add stress and how to fix them.
Why thoughtful design is more than aesthetics- it’s self-care that supports your whole family.
Work with Jan If your home feels like it’s working against you, chaotic mornings, constant mess, daily guilt, you’re not failing. The space just isn’t set up to support you. That’s why I created Mondän’s Design on Demand app. Think of it as getting a complete, ready-to-go room design off the shelf — layouts, shopping links, and a step-by-step guide to bring it to life. No guesswork, no overwhelm, just a home that finally works for you.
