Ep 14 - Frequency Interrupted - Renovation Reflections
In this episode of Shared Frequencies and the Space Between, Don and El return from a short podcast hiatus brought on by the chaos of a full kitchen renovation, undertaken entirely as a DIY project. Between demolition dust and cabinet confusion, they reflect on the disruption to their usual routine, what it’s been like living in a temporary state of “camping” indoors, and the emotional weight of interrupted rhythms.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

🔹 Life in Renovation Mode – The highs, lows, and slightly crunchy in-betweens of taking on a major kitchen refit, from tool misplacements to missing takeaway cutlery.

🔹 Mental Clutter and Physical Chaos – How external disarray affects internal calm, and how they’ve each coped with life feeling out of sync.

🔹 Rebuilding Beyond the Kitchen – Don and El talk about what helps them recalibrate when life doesn’t go to plan—and why it’s okay to need a little extra time to re-find your footing.

This honest, light-hearted, and reflective episode explores the relationship between our surroundings and our sense of stability. Whether you’ve lived through a renovation or just need a reminder that temporary mess doesn’t mean failure, this one’s for you.
