Midlife Burnout, Nervous System Healing & Why Your Body Is Asking You To Slow Down with Sonia | Hot Flushes & Higher Self

How to Create a Calm Home in Midlife | Feng Shui, Energy Healing & Reconnecting with Yourself with Shani | Hot Flushes & Higher Self

Many women reach midlife feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained or strangely disconnected from themselves. We often think the answer lies in changing ourselves—but what if the space around us is also shaping how we feel? In this episode of Hot Flushes & Higher Self, I sit down with Feng Shui consultant and energy healer Shani, founder of Roots & Rituals Interiors, to explore how our homes influence our nervous system, emotions and overall wellbeing. Shani shares her remarkable journey of trusting her intuition, walking away from a successful business, travelling through Latin America, and discovering her calling to help people transform their lives through Classical Feng Shui, energy healing and space clearing. Together we explore: ✨ Why many women in midlife feel disconnected from themselves ✨ How your home can affect your mood, stress levels and nervous system ✨ Simple Feng Shui tips to create more calm, balance and flow ✨ Why decluttering can be emotionally healing—not just physically freeing ✨ The power of rituals, intention and reconnecting with your space ✨ The energetic meaning behind different areas of your home ✨ How colours, lighting and natural materials influence wellbeing ✨ Why your home should evolve as you evolve One of my favourite moments in this conversation is when Shani reminds us that our true home isn't simply the place we live—it's the sense of safety we create within ourselves. If you're navigating menopause, burnout, life transitions, empty nest, or simply feel it's time to reconnect with who you really are, this episode offers practical inspiration alongside a beautiful spiritual perspective.
