Life Sized Voices Featuring Heidi Machul Bolyard

Life Sized Publishing  ·  September 16, 2026

Hey, Areej here!

What if creating a better life does not start with changing everything?

What if it starts with changing the place where your life happens every day?

That is the idea Heidi Machul Bolyard explores in Getting Back Home: Small Shifts For Big Joy.

After more than 25 years in residential architecture and helping nearly 1,000 families create homes they love, Heidi discovered something powerful: a home is not just a space we live in. It shapes our emotions, routines, relationships, and the way we experience everyday life.

This book challenges the idea that a happier home requires a bigger house or a complete renovation. Instead, Heidi shows how intentional changes, thoughtful design, and a deeper understanding of what matters most can transform the spaces we already have.

Because home is more than where you live.

It is where your story unfolds.
