This isn’t a resolutions episode.

In the final episode of 2025, Jodi Peterman reflects on a year that asked for everything — emotionally, spiritually, and professionally. From unexpected personal transitions to business challenges, quiet breakthroughs, and deep internal growth, this conversation is about honoring what the year actually brought… not what it was supposed to be.

Jodi shares what 2025 taught her about resilience, intuition, boundaries, rest, and the power of intentional design — not just in our homes, but in our nervous systems, routines, and relationships. She invites listeners to release pressure, let go of outdated expectations, and step into 2026 grounded in presence rather than perfection.

You’ll hear reflections on:

• Letting go of reactive living and choosing intentional design
• Why alignment matters more than a 30-day plan
• Designing spaces (and rituals) that support your nervous system
• Small, meaningful shifts that create big ripple effects
• Choosing creativity, rest, boundaries, and fun moving into the new year

Green tea cheers to 2026 💚

Every week, my inbox fills with questions — from the ultra-practical to the deeply personal.

What tile should I use?
How do I protect my budget?
What do I do when I feel stuck in my renovation… or my life?

In this very special Q&A-style episode, I’m answering your questions with the most honest, grounded, and sometimes surprising reflections I’ve ever shared.

We talk about:

• Why trusting your designer (and yourself) changes everything
• How to design authentically instead of copying what everyone else is doing
• What really happens when projects go off track — and how communication and compassion save them
• Why designers struggle to design for themselves (yes, even me)
• How your home affects your nervous system, energy, and sense of safety
• The real story behind the Designing in 5D process and how it protects your budget
• Why our concierge service was created — and who it’s for
• Livable luxury, longevity, and designing spaces that truly function for your life

We also dive into spiritual alignment and why no trend or aesthetic can fix a space that doesn’t feel safe, calm, or grounding.

Before we close, I leave you with a reflection:
What have you been resisting in your space, your habits, or your life that’s ready to shift?

Next week, we’ll be closing one chapter and opening another with a powerful intention-setting episode for 2026.

Until then — design a life you love, with intention, grounding, and just a little sprinkle of magic.

What if you could write off up to $300,000 — in one year — on a short-term rental or investment property?

This isn’t clickbait. It’s the new permanent 100% bonus depreciation rule, and it’s already reshaping how smart investors buy, furnish, renovate, and plan their tax strategy.

In today’s episode, Jodi Peterman sits down with two powerhouse experts who navigate these decisions every single day:

• Wanda Jackson — Top Realtor with Premier Property Group in Sandestin and President of the Women’s Council of the Emerald Coast
• Stoy Hall, CFP® — Founder of Black Mammoth Wealth Management in Des Moines, specializing in wealth planning and tax-efficient investment strategy

Together, we break down:
• What actually changed in the tax law (and why it matters now)
• Who qualifies for 100% bonus depreciation
• What purchases count — including furniture, design fees, upgrades, fixtures, landscaping, and more
• Why cost segregation is essential (and how it works)
• A real-world case study showing $300K in first-year depreciation
• How to avoid overspending or misinterpreting the deduction
• Why your CPA, wealth manager, realtor, and designer must be aligned
• How this rule fits into a long-term, wealth-building strategy

If you're thinking about buying, furnishing, or renovating an STR or rental property, this episode gives you the clarity you need before tax season — and before you make your next investment move.
