Welcome to the Cypress Room with Christina Muscari and Meggie Honeycutt! Join us as we embark on a journey to encourage, challenge, and uplift you right where you are at, no matter what season of life you find yourself in. Whether you're focused on building your business, nurturing your family, cultivating meaningful friendships, or seeking growth in any other area, the Cypress Room is here to cheer you on and run alongside you.
In a world where we often associate the term "influencer" with those who have large social followings, we believe that every single one of us has spheres of influence that matter, whether it's reaching 500k people on a social platform or just the people inside your home. True influence is not about the number of followers you have, but rather the genuine impact you make on the lives of others.
Together, let's learn to influence with integrity, recognizing that the choices we make and the way we show up in the world can truly make a difference.

In this candid conversation, Tamara opens up about balancing a successful business with raising four kids, how she was discovered by HGTV, and her tips for moms eager to start a side hustle. She also shares her strategies for handling burnout and staying inspired in the fast-paced world of home renovation.
