    Beyond the Trends: How to Build a Personal Style That Actually Works
    2026/09/30

    Great personal style isn't about following every trend or having a closet full of clothes. It's about understanding what works for your body, your lifestyle, and the way you want to show up in the world.

    This week on Inside Northwest Columbus, we're joined by Erin Gehring, founder of More Than Style. Erin helps women move beyond simply buying clothes to create wardrobes that are intentional, functional, and authentically their own.

    We discuss how to define your personal style, why so many of us have closets full of clothes but still feel like we have nothing to wear, and how to make smarter decisions about what to keep, what to buy, and where to invest.

    From Erin's rules for great style to building a wardrobe that evolves with you, this conversation offers practical advice for looking current and feeling confident—without chasing every new trend.

After leaving a successful career as a public school music teacher, Julie set out to create a different kind of music school—one built around educational excellence, celebrating progress, and helping every child reach their potential.

  • The Alchemy Shift: Rethinking What Makes a Home Beautiful

    The Alchemy Shift: Rethinking What Makes a Home Beautiful
    2026/05/06
    What if the most beautiful homes weren’t the most perfect—but the most personal?
    On this episode of Inside Northwest Columbus, we sit down with Jessica Brugger, founder and principal designer of Dwell Well Design Co., to explore a shift happening in design—one that moves away from perfection and toward meaning.
    As the creator of Design Alchemy, Jessica shares how homeowners are rethinking their spaces—from fully styled, “finished” rooms to homes that are layered, lived-in, and evolving over time.
    In this conversation, you’ll walk away with a new way to think about your home—how to start making more confident design decisions, how to layer pieces so your space actually tells your story, and how to create rooms that feel both elevated and comfortable without chasing trends.
    We also get into practical shifts you can make right away—what to stop doing, what to prioritize instead, and how to make your home feel more like you without starting from scratch.
    If your home looks good but doesn’t quite feel right, this will give you a completely different lens—and a few simple ways to start changing that immediately.
    This isn’t about trends. It’s about creating spaces that feel like you.
    DIY-er? Great! But if you need help, call Jessica. To download a copy of Design Alchemy 2026, please visit Jessica’s website.

  • It’s Not Just About the Remodel—It’s About the Experience

    It’s Not Just About the Remodel—It’s About the Experience
    2026/04/29
    Remodeling a home is often approached as a checklist — timelines, budgets, and finishes. But for most homeowners, the experience is far more personal than that.
    Today on Inside Northwest Columbus, we’re talking with Tammy Yee and James Cooley, the team behind Cooley Construction. Based in Worthington, they’ve built their company around a different philosophy — one that prioritizes collaboration, communication, and how the process feels just as much as the final result.
    From asking better questions at the start to thoughtfully assembling the right team of designers and architects, Tammy and James approach each project with intention. They understand that remodeling isn’t just a construction project — it’s a disruption to daily life, a series of decisions, and often, a deeply emotional experience for homeowners.
    In this conversation, we’re diving into what most people get wrong about remodeling, how to avoid common pitfalls, and why the right partner can completely transform not just your home — but your entire experience getting there.
