Who Else Wants to Banish Design Fear and Create a Home They Truly Love?

Unfortunately, 75.4% of homemakers feel unsatisfied or neutral about their home after a renovation project. They’re left thinking, “Something’s not quite right” or “This doesn’t feel like me.”

Moreover, fear and indecision during home improvement projects can waste up to 30% of your budget on costly mistakes and rework.

But it doesn’t have to be this way! Imagine:

✅ Approaching your next project with confidence, not fear

✅ Making design decisions that truly reflect your personality

✅ Communicating effectively with professionals or tackling DIY with ease

✅ Creating a home that brings you joy and improves your well-being

This course is your roadmap to joining the elite 24.6% of homemakers who LOVE their home after a renovation. Don’t let fear hold you back from creating the space you deserve!

Does this sound like you?

You’ve tried EVERYTHING to create your dream home, like…

Spending hours on Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration
Buying countless home decor magazines
Watching every home renovation show on TV.
Taking quick online quizzes to determine your style.
Impulse-buying decor items that end up in storage.
Hiring professionals who don’t quite “get” your vision.
Already read one of my books (‘DIY Deluge’, or ‘A Tale of Two Kitchens’), and saw yourself in the story? This is the next step – where the transformation happens to you, not just a character on the page.

..but you’re still stuck, feeling overwhelmed and unsure.

You look around your home and think, “This just doesn’t feel like me.” The thought of starting a new project fills you with dread, not excitement. You’re constantly second-guessing your choices, and the idea of committing to a design decision feels paralysing.

You’re tired of wasting time, money, and energy on methods that give you zero results.

You’ve spent countless weekends on half-finished DIY projects. Your “someday” pile of home decor items is growing, but your confidence isn’t. Every time you try to make a change, you end up more frustrated than when you started. You’re tired of feeling like an imposter in your own home, and you’re desperate for a way to create a space that truly reflects who you are – without the stress, anxiety, and wasted resources.

Imagine the Possibility

What if I told you there was a better way to approach your next home design project?

Imagine starting your next home improvement journey with confidence instead of fear. Picture yourself understanding the root of your design anxieties and having practical tools to manage them. You’re no longer paralysed by indecision or overwhelmed by choices.

Envision having a clear grasp of your unique design personality. You can make decisions that truly reflect your style, not just fleeting trends or others’ opinions. This understanding becomes your compass, guiding you through the maze of design options with clarity and purpose.

Now, see yourself approaching your home with fresh eyes. You have a framework to assess your space’s potential, identify areas for improvement, and envision exciting possibilities. You’re no longer stuck or unsure where to start – you have a roadmap for transformation.

This isn’t just a dream. It’s a reality you can achieve in just 3-4 days, part-time. Our “Fears to Freedom” minicourse is designed to give you the foundation for fearless home design.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

Identify and understand your design fears
Use practical strategies to manage design anxiety
Discover the basics of your unique design personality

Rated 5 out of 5

“As a DIY newbie, my last home project nearly broke me. The stress and anxiety were overwhelming! But after taking the ‘Fears to Freedom’ course, I feel like a different person.

The course helped me understand my design fears and gave me practical tools to manage them. I especially loved the H.A.V.E.N. framework – it’s given me a clear way to assess my home’s potential.

Combined with the insights from the ‘DIY Deluge’ book, I now feel equipped to tackle my next project with confidence. I’m no longer paralyzed by indecision or overwhelmed by choices. The course has opened my eyes to the importance of understanding my design personality, and I’m seriously considering taking the ‘Your Unique Home Design Personality’ course. It seems like the perfect next step to ensure my future projects truly reflect who I am. Thanks to ‘Fears to Freedom’, I’m excited about DIY again!”

– DAWN MOORE

Rated 5 out of 5

“I’ve always admired beautifully designed homes but never felt confident enough to trust my own taste.

When we decided to renovate our living room, I hired a professional designer and basically handed over all the decisions. The result? A room that looks great on paper but doesn’t quite feel like ‘me’.

Taking the ‘Fears to Freedom’ course was a real eye-opener. It helped me understand my ‘imposter syndrome’ and gave me tools to overcome it. I wish I’d done this course before our living room project – it would have given me the confidence to speak up and collaborate more effectively with our designer.

The course made me realize how important it is to understand my own design personality. I’ve now enrolled in the ‘Your Unique Home Design Personality’ course, and I’m super excited to apply what I am learning to my next project – our guest bedroom makeover. I’m even planning to tweak some elements in our living room to better reflect my style. ‘Fears to Freedom’ has transformed me from a passive observer to an active participant in designing my home. I can’t wait to create spaces that truly represent me!“

“After the insights I gained from the Home Design Personality Quiz, I was eager to dive deeper with the ‘Fears to Freedom’ course. I completed it in just 4 days, and I’m genuinely impressed by how it’s reshaped my approach to home design.

As a budget-conscious planner, I’ve always been hesitant to start projects, fearing costly mistakes. This course has given me the confidence to move forward without that paralyzing anxiety. The H.A.V.E.N. framework, in particular, has been a helpful tool. It’s provided a structured approach to assessing our home’s potential that appeals to my planning nature.

What I appreciate most is how the course built on the foundations laid by the quiz. It’s taken my understanding of my design personality to a whole new level. I now feel equipped to make design decisions that not only look great but also truly reflect who we are as a family.

The real-world scenarios and practical exercises were invaluable. They’ve helped me develop strategies to communicate effectively with contractors and make informed decisions quickly. I’m no longer overwhelmed by the myriad of choices in home improvement.

Thanks to ‘Fears to Freedom’, I’m now excited about our upcoming kitchen renovation – something I would have dreaded before. I purchased A Tale of Two Kitchens – which although was kitchen focused, I can also apply the thinking to any room in my home. Kristina, you’ve not only helping me create a home I love but also given me the tools to continue doing so confidently. This course is a must for anyone looking to transform their home and their approach to design!“

If you’re on the fence… Then I want to give you EVERY opportunity to put ‘Fears to Freedom’ mini-course into action and feel more confident and have a solid foundation for creating a home that truly reflects YOU.

That’s why I’m saying “Screw It” to the 7-day “industry standard” and instead are giving you a full TWELVE MONTHS (365 days) to go through the training, put them into ACTION, before starting your next room makeover / house build.

If you have tried to do this course, but believe it will not work for you – then you can have 100% of your money back. If I haven’t lived up to my promise, I’m the loser, not you. You have nothing to lose, only money to save and joy to receive.

Is the 'Fears to Freedom' mini-course for me?

This is perfect for you if:

You feel overwhelmed or anxious about starting a home improvement project.
You want to understand and manage your design fears before diving into a renovation.
You're looking for practical strategies to boost your confidence in making design decisions.
You're curious about the concept of design personality and how it affects your home.
You want to learn a structured approach to assessing your home's potential.
You want to improve your communication about design ideas, whether with professionals, contractors, family members, or your partner.
You want your home to be a greater source of joy and well-being in your life. (Especially since the average person spends nearly 70% of their day at home!)

This is NOT for you if:

You never experience any fears or anxiety before, during, or after a project. You LOVE every previous renovation/makeover and you feel 'in tune' or 'in the zone' or 'energised' when you step into that space.
You're 100% confident in all your design decisions and never second-guess your choices.
You already have a foolproof system for managing design-related stress and overwhelm.
You're not interested in understanding the psychological aspects of home design.
Your upcoming 'makeover' is purely to prep the house ready to sell within the next few months.
You believe that personal style doesn't matter in creating a satisfying home environment.
You're looking for in-depth interior design training or specific decorating techniques.
You don't have 3-4 days to invest in improving your approach to home design.

I already read DIY Deluge / A Tale of Two Kitchens — isn't this the same thing?

Not quite. Those stories show you what’s possible – you watched Michelle In ‘DIY Deluge‘ (or Joy and Christopher in ‘A Tale of Two Kitchens‘) hit their own wall and find their way out using the same method. If you finished one of those books thinking “I want that for myself, not just for the person in the story”, or, you a fearful about starting – that’s exactly what Fears to Freedom is for. This is where you stop reading about someone else’s fears getting managed, and start working through your own – with real workbooks, real exercises, and direct access to me and the community as you do it.

What if I buy 'Fears to Freedom' mini-course and I hate it?

Simple! You contact me within 60 days, and I refund your money 100%. We shake hands and part as friends.

What is the refund policy?

If you have made an honest attempt at doing the course over a 365-day period, and it is not working for you, then you can have 100% of your money back.

Will you design my project?

No, unfortunately. Other professional designers refer their clients to take my courses prior to working with them. I will always honour that relationship.

If you want to use a professional designer, then talk to me during the course, or once you have finished, and I can recommend a professional designer to you if you cannot find a local one near you. (In ‘Your Unique Home Design Personality’ course, I will show you how to find the right designer to work with you).
