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

I don't have a ton of guests on the podcast, but when I do, I make sure they're people who are doing work that matters. Stephanie Denson, founder of Spirit and Space, is one of those people.

We work in similar ways. While I help clients create homes that feel aligned and supported, Stephanie helps them clear the space both literally and energetically so their lives can expand. And honestly, clutter impacts how you feel in a space just as much as Feng Shui does.

In this episode, we talk about the emotional side of downsizing, why "what if syndrome" keeps us stuck, and how small decisions about your belongings can actually be transformative. Stephanie shares stories of real clients like Sue, who was ready to move to senior living but felt paralyzed by her possessions and what changed when she finally let herself let go.

We also dive into:

• Why downsizing doesn't have to mean getting rid of things you love
• How to find the right home for items that still have value
• The difference between holding on because you need it and holding on because you're afraid
• Why starting small creates momentum
• What happens when you leave clutter clearing until the last minute (spoiler: it's exhausting)

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed by your stuff, or thinking about downsizing, this episode is for you. And if you know someone in this season, send it their way.

• Digital guides available: Decluttering Guide, Senior Downsizing Made Easier, Understanding the Value of Your Treasures

Home Office Feng Shui 101: Productivity + Peace

After 15 years of working from home, I break down what makes a home office actually work.

Plus an action plan you can implement this week.

• The distraction factor and visual clutter
• Why desk materials matter (and what colors to use)
• How to integrate plants and feng shui elements
• The power of clearing your desk at day's end

Key Takeaway: Your home office is either supporting you or working against you. Small, intentional adjustments to both the physical setup and the energy of the space create massive shifts in focus, productivity, and peace.

Have you ever wondered why certain spaces feel instantly calm and inviting while others feel chaotic or just… off? The answer might lie in the Five Elements system of Feng Shui.

In this episode I'm taking you on a deep dive into one of the most foundational principles of Feng Shui — the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. These elements are the building blocks of balanced, supportive spaces and once you understand them you'll start seeing your home in a whole new way.

Here's what we're covering:

• What each of the Five Elements represents and how it shows up in your home
• The colors, shapes, textures and qualities associated with each element
• What to look for if an element is missing or imbalanced in your space
• Simple ways to bring more balance and harmony into your home

Whether you're brand new to Feng Shui or have been practicing for years this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how your home's energy is working — or not working — for you.

🎧 Tune in and let's get your five elements balanced!
