The Home Gym Living Room

The Mango Effect Podcast

11. Why the heck do we have a living room? Can someone please explain to me why we feel the need to get overpriced furniture to put in a room we rarely use and mount some massive electronic contraption from the 2000s called a TV on the wall?
In today's episode, let's talk about how living rooms are intended to be a place where we actually spend time living -- not an HGTV before-and-after photo that looks great on camera but actually provides us with no lasting joy. We have the power to choose what goes into our living room and whether that's a fit for our values or not.
TL;DR - I converted my living room into an epic home gym complete with rubber flooring, squat racks, weight stacks, surfboard racks and an infrared sauna.
In this episode, we discuss:

• Why I hate home decorating and how I eliminated that guilt once-and-for-all
• How our homes and living spaces should be a reflection of what we love
• Going furniture free (finally) after 10+ years
• Modeling our values for our family and friends in our homes
• Choosing one word that describes the energy of your living space ...and more!
