0:00.0	Hey, I want to give a shout out to my friend Susan Winterstein. You may know Susan from her two
0:05.5	podcast appearances here, episodes 164 and 717. In these episodes, Susan told us about her charity
0:13.7	that she founded Savvy Giving by Design. Now she has introduced the Savvy Giving Design Coalition.
0:21.1	The mission of both of these is to bring comfort and hope to families by transforming
0:26.6	kids' rooms into healing sanctuaries.
0:30.0	Previously, in order to help Savvy Giving by Design, you could open a chapter in your
0:34.9	own area and then design spaces for children in your area that are in need.

2:03.6	business. But make no mistake about it, we have our share of fun here too, mixed in with those
2:08.9	aha moments that I love so much. This isn't fluff. Nobody has time for that. Whether you are a new
2:15.3	interior designer or a season designer, I am here to help you create
