Feng Shui Living: Tips for busy women looking to destress, relieve anxiety, and live with more intention

 I've talked a lot on this podcast about how our homes hold energy, but this week I wanted to bring in someone who sees it from a completely different angle: functional systems.
My guest, Julianna Strickland, is the creator of Space Camp Home Organizing. She's organized thousands of homes, and what she shared completely lines up with what I see energetically... a space can look clean on the surface and still feel completely off, because it isn't actually functioning for the life you're living.
We talked about why so many organizing systems fall apart within a few weeks, the difference between a space that looks good and one that actually supports you, and why buying bins before you measure your space (guilty!) is one of the most common mistakes people make.
A few of my favorite moments from our conversation:
Why a "clean" room can still be quietly stressing out your brain
The 20% rule — why leaving breathing room in a drawer or closet is what actually makes a system stick
Julianna's simple trick for measuring your space using your phone
Why you should get donations out of the house immediately, not "eventually"
How to figure out what belongs in your easy-to-reach spaces vs. your hard-to-reach ones
If you've ever organized a space, only to watch it fall back into chaos a month later, this episode will help you understand why — and what to do instead.

 I've been dreaming of this for a long time... and it's finally happening.
This week, I'm not sharing tips or answering questions. I'm talking directly to you about the Aligned Sanctuary Retreat, something I've been building toward for over 20 years of doing this work. And this September, I'm opening the doors of my home to eight women.
Not a hotel. Not a rented retreat space. My actual home . The one I've spent years intentionally designing, arranging, and aligning to feel like a true sanctuary.
In this episode, I walk you through:
What the retreat is and why I kept it to just eight women
The three pillars of the Intuitive Home Method and how they shape the entire weekend
A full breakdown of the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday experience
Our special guests — including Jen Heller, Maggie Kitch, and a couple of surprises I'm keeping close
The gifts you'll go home with, the 15-acre property, the heated saltwater pool, and yes — the fire pit evening I won't be spoiling
Who this retreat is for, and who it isn't
All the practical details: dates, pricing, how to apply, and your special listener window

September 25-27, 2026 | Fort Wayne, Indiana | By application only | 8 spots total
Early bird pricing extended for podcast listeners through July 8th.

I've been guesting on a lot of podcasts lately, and I keep getting asked the same kinds of questions — what are my favorite stories, what tips do I share most, what really works (and what doesn't). So instead of saving those stories for someone else's show, I decided to bring them to you.
In this episode I'm sharing my three go-to client stories, the ones I find myself coming back to again and again no matter who I'm talking to:
🎨 Color — Why a little girl's bright green and pink bedroom was unknowingly mimicking the hospital room she woke up in after surgery, and how softening her color palette helped her finally sleep through the night.
🚪 The Front Door — A couple whose home was head-to-toe pink (even though they loved nature, not pink!) and what it taught me about making sure your entryway reflects who you are right now.
🐱 Moving Energy — The home covered in plastic sheeting, a beloved cat nearing the end of its life, and the gentle shift that helped energy — and life — move through the whole house again.
Plus, a few behind-the-scenes moments from my podcast studio, and an update on my Color Mastery class and the Aligned at Home Collective.
In this episode:
Why color is never just about looks — it's doing something in your space
How a child's bedroom palette was reinforcing a fear response
The story behind the "mouth of chi" and why your front door matters
What happens when energy doesn't move through every room of your home
An update on Color Mastery (free live class, June 30th at 7pm via Zoom)
A first look at our special guest joining the Aligned at Home Collective this month

In this episode, I'm joined by Jen Heller — health and wellness educator, host of the Homes That Heal podcast, and infrared sauna expert. Jen's story is one I think you'll find both inspiring and grounding. From surviving an explosion as a teenager to experiencing a stroke in her early 30s, she's been on an extraordinary journey toward healing — and now she helps others create home environments that truly support their wellbeing.

We talk about something I think about all the time: the ecosystem of your home. You can want to feel better, but if you're living in a toxic or depleted environment, you're working against yourself. Jen brings the physical and environmental wellness piece to that conversation in such a beautiful way.

In this episode you'll learn:
Why your home environment matters just as much as what you put in your body
What infrared sauna therapy is, how it works, and why Jen calls it her go-to healing tool
The difference between traditional and infrared saunas — and what to watch for when purchasing
How to turn your sauna (or any wellness space) into a high-vibe sanctuary you actually look forward to
Jen's incredible personal story and the client transformations that keep her going

In today's episode, I'm getting a little personal sharing how I found my way into this work and how my perspective on homes has evolved over more than 20 years.

I grew up on a grain farm in Iowa, which I honestly believe shaped so much of what I do today. Growing up connected to the land, the seasons, and the cycles of nature laid a foundation I didn't even recognize until much later. I was also a very sensitive, hyper-aware child, I could sense when a space felt calm, alive, or stagnant, even before I had words for it.

From design school to residential design work, and even designing luxury private aircraft interiors, each experience deepened my understanding of one thing: beautiful spaces don't automatically feel good. 

I share the story of two clients who lived on the same street, in homes built by the same builder, both beautiful, but one felt calming while the other felt exhausting. That difference is what sent me deeper into feng shui, energy work, and environmental psychology.

In this episode:
• Growing up on a farm in Iowa and how nature shaped my sensitivity to environments
• Designing luxury private aircraft interiors and what that taught me about how humans interact with spaces
• Why beautiful doesn't always mean it feels good
• The moment my career shifted from traditional interior design to environmental alignment
• The patterns I kept seeing: stagnant rooms, emotional mirroring, craving visibility
• What real feng shui is (and what it isn't)
• How the Intuitive Home Method came to be
• Two client stories that say it all

Journal prompt from this episode:
If your home were a metaphor for your life, what is it saying?
