Ayurveda for Your Home

In this episode, Lyssia sits down with France Brunel, a home wellness coach, interior designer, and Ayurvedic coach rethinking how our homes affect the way we feel, function, and move through life. Blending interior design with principles from Ayurveda, France has built her work around a question most people never think to ask: what if your home is either supporting your well-being or quietly working against it?The conversation breaks down why so many people focus on wellness through food, fitness, meditation, and routines, while overlooking the environment they live in every single day. France explains how Ayurveda can be used to design from within, creating spaces that counterbalance your natural tendencies, whether you run anxious, lethargic, overstimulated, ungrounded, or simply drained by your surroundings. They explore how color can act almost like medicine, why certain materials and textures can calm or activate the nervous system, how lighting affects sleep and energy, and why a beautiful home is not always the same as a supportive one.France also shares why so many of us design for the fantasy version of ourselves instead of the person we actually are, how small daily frictions in a home quietly build stress, and why waiting for the “perfect” home can keep your life in waiting mode. From rearranging what you already own to adding warmth, weight, light, color, or better flow, she explains how simple design shifts can change the way a space feels almost immediately.By the end of this episode, you may realize that the reason your home feels off is not because you lack discipline, taste, or motivation. It may be because your space was never designed to support the way your body, mind, and life actually work. And once you start seeing your home as part of your wellness, not separate from it, you can begin designing from within.More Room to Think:France BrunelInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamfrancebrunel/Website: https://francebrunel.com/Room to Thinkhttps://roomtothinkpodcast.com/Loved this episode?
