155. Creating Intentional Spaces: How Our Homes Shape Our Wellbeing with France Brunel

Most of us know that what we eat, how we move, and how much we sleep impacts our well-being—but what about the spaces we live in every day?   In this conversation, Whitney connects with France Brunel, holistic interior designer and founder of Yoom, a studio and editorial platform that explores the connection between design and well-being. France shares how our physical environments shape our mental, emotional, and even physical health in ways we may not realize.   She offers real-life examples of how small shifts—like letting in more natural light, choosing calming colors, and creating intentional spaces for rest, nourishment, and intimacy—can influence everything from our stress levels to our eating habits. This episode invites listeners to think of interior design not as a luxury or aesthetic pursuit, but as a form of soulful self-care.   This isn't about creating a Pinterest-perfect home. It's about cultivating an environment that supports your nervous system, habits, and sense of joy. If you're craving more calm and connection in your everyday space, this episode is for you.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: The impact our environments have on our day-to-day lives Incorporating blue into your life How to incorporate color into our homes in a way that feels personal to us Where to start making small shifts in your home How France is making small, intentional shifts not just in her home, but in her day-to-day life Reflection to ponder:  Is my home allowing me to live the life I want to live?   Ready to reclaim connection and presence in your life?
