300: Upcycling with Purpose: How Sustainable Design Brings Peace to Your Space

Joining us on the podcast today is Sarah Trop, owner of FunCycled in upstate New York. By day, Sarah transforms spaces and furniture through thoughtful, sustainable design, and by night, she shares her creative life as a lifestyle blogger—she’s truly fun to follow and watch.

In this episode, we’re talking about upcycling—what Sarah lovingly calls FunCycling—and how intentional, sustainable design can bring a sense of peace into the spaces we live and work in. We’ll also explore what it means to be good stewards of what we’ve been entrusted with, especially throughout the design process.

This conversation is creative, meaningful, and uplifting—and I know you’re going to enjoy it.
