Designing Life Like Sunday Morning with Jameelah Watkins-Mallett
What does it mean to design a life that feels like Sunday morning every single day? Jameelah Watkins-Mallett—Spelman sister, Emmy-nominated design producer, and the entrepreneur who's been in business since age 12—gets deeply honest about the evolution from fearless creative to intentional curator. Her journey through major life transitions, divorce, and the pressure-cooker world of television production led her to create the CASE method: a design philosophy that works for both homes and hearts. "I'm waiting, but I'm not settling," she tells host Maura Chanz, embodying the tension between patience and standards that now guides everything from her four-story townhouse to her career pivots.
But this conversation goes beyond beautiful spaces. Jameelah breaks down why she asks clients about their spiritual practices and favorite scents, how working on HGTV's "Married to Real Estate" taught her leadership while nearly breaking her spirit, and why her ultimate life goal involves a beach, no bra, and probably cutting her hair off again. From her HomeGoods obsession and Facebook Marketplace treasure hunts to the profound realization that "progress is the length of time between breakdowns," she's serving up practical wisdom wrapped in vulnerability.
Whether you're someone who thinks your house needs to look Pinterest-perfect or you're tired of chasing what you think you should want, Jameelah's approach to designing with soul—not desperation—will shift how you think about creating sanctuary in a chaotic world. This is for anyone ready to stop settling for spaces (and lives) that don't truly reflect who they are.
