Getting Back Home draws on Heidi Machul Bolyard’s years of experience helping people create homes that better support how they live. Through her work as an architect and founder of Simplified Living Architecture, Heidi noticed that people often believed they needed bigger spaces, major renovations, or perfect homes to feel more comfortable and connected. She discovered that meaningful change can often begin with small, intentional shifts.

Inspired by these experiences and the stories of the families she has worked with, Heidi wrote Getting Back Home to help readers rethink their relationship with home. Through practical ideas and personal reflections, she encourages readers to create spaces that bring more joy, connection, comfort, and meaning into everyday life.
