Design Your Space, Design Your Wealth: Why Every Room (and Budget) Needs A Plan With Amy Barrickman

Published on: 1st May, 2025

Welcome back to I Date Money! In today’s soulful, strategy-packed episode, Lisa Drennon sits down with interior designer and newly published author Amy

Barrickman to explore the powerful parallel between designing a room you love and designing a financial plan that works.

They dive into the hidden costs of remodeling (just like surprise bills in life), how to declutter for mental and financial clarity, and why your environment is deeply connected to your energy, productivity, and yes—your income.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a space (or a financial rut) that doesn’t reflect who you truly are… this episode is your permission slip to pause, plan, and make it personal.

📐 Amy shares her Gallery Wall Guide—a simple, low-cost way to transform your home and boost your daily vibe.


🪞 Lisa shares how transforming her bedroom gave her a whole new outlook—and how that same shift happens with your budget.

Topics Discussed:

  • The surprising link between interior design and financial success
  • Why a budget is like a floor plan (you wouldn’t build a house without one)
  • How clutter and “stuff” drain your money-making energy
  • Amy’s journey from pharmaceutical sales to passionate design entrepreneur
  • Tips for creating a calm, productive space that reflects YOU
  • The key mindset shift to attract clients with ease
