Ep 92: Country Proud Living Turns Two: Gratitude, Growth, and What’s Ahead Artwork

Country Proud Living Nurturing Home, Empowered Self

Country Proud Living is a podcast for someone who longs for a slower, more intentional life and a home that truly supports who they are becoming. Rooted in the warmth of country living, this show blends interior design inspiration, color confidence, and gentle life guidance to help you create nurturing spaces that feel welcoming, meaningful, and lived-in.

"Where nurturing spaces empower your life and every day feels a little more like home."

Hosted by certified interior designer and design-life coach LoriLynn, each episode offers encouragement, practical design wisdom, and soulful conversations that empower you to begin where you are — whether you’re refreshing a room, cultivating a cozy sanctuary, or simply seeking more peace and purpose in everyday life. You’ll find inspiration for creating a home you love, while also nurturing your mindset, wellbeing, and sense of belonging.

If you crave a home that feels like a hug, believe your surroundings shape how you feel, and love the charm of country-inspired living, Country Proud Living is your weekly reminder that you are worthy of a beautiful life — and a home that feels a little more like you.

🎉 🎉 🎉 Country Proud Living is officially two years old, and today’s episode is a heartfelt pause to say thank you. Thank you for inviting me into your homes, your cars, your walks, and your quiet moments. This podcast has never been about perfection — it’s always been about creating a life and home you’re proud to live inside. To celebrate, I’m giving away a FREE virtual color & design consultation to help you refresh a space, choose paint colors, or finally get unstuck on a design decision — from anywhere you live.

Consistency beats confidence — start before you’re ready
Homes change as we do — let your space evolve with your life

Slow progress is still progress — forward is forward
Community matters -vs- numbers— less follow me instead come with me
