Description

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.
