Can your home help reduce stress? YES!
In this episode of The Home Therapy Podcast, I sit down with John Armstrong, meditation expert and design-thinker, to talk about the intersection of mindfulness, interior design, and behavioral psychology.
Your home environment has a massive impact on your mental health! John and I explore:
✔️ How mindfulness practices like meditation can reshape your daily routine
✔️ The surprising link between interior design & emotional well-being
✔️ How "nudges" in your home can create healthier habits (without willpower!)
✔️ The power of pausing & intentionality in parenting, work, and relationships
Watch now and discover how to design a home—and a life—that supports your well-being.
