Being Home With Hunker

Today on the show we have Alejandra Brady, a biophilic designer, feng shui expert, interior designer, and author.  Alejandra explains how these three modalities — biophilic design, feng shui, and interior design — support each other in the world of home design and decor. In this conversation, you’ll learn about biophilic design, which Alejandra describes as the modern feng shui. It’s about bringing nature back into the manmade environment. She shares actionable tips on how to implement biophilic design within your home — no matter your budget or where you live. Alejandra also shares tips on how to amplify the wealth and career areas of our homes through the trifecta of, you guessed it, feng shui, biophilic design, and interior design. She has great ideas on how the items we use in these spaces can do double or triple duty, covering all the bases of these three modalities. Also, you’ll want to hear what she doesn’t recommend we keep in our career center; she shares ideas for beneficial crystals to place under our pillows or beds; plus, she tells us her top three favorite feng shui cures she uses wherever she goes.

Today on the show we have Meg Golightly, home organizing expert, and founder of Simplified.   For Meg, home organizing is not just about putting things in their place.   She says, "My interest in home organization has evolved from a lifelong fascination with how our brains work reinforced by my degree in psychology and my ongoing interest in neuroscience.”   She believes we all have reasons as to why we hang on to things. And everybody struggles with clutter. Everybody. However, there’s a cost to clutter.   And that we can’t get to where we want to be until we let go.   And so, Meg does more than just show us how to organize — she goes deeper. There’s one important step she believes we all must do before we organize, and she shares it in this conversation.   She also offers tips on where and how to start in the organizing process, as well as the three questions she has her clients answer before starting the organizing process.   We also talk about how find her favorite organizing tools; why she creates “towns” for her stuff at home; and finally, she shares expert ways to organize a pantry. We all know how much we love seeing a well-organized pantry!   If you’re ready to make space in your home — both literally and figuratively — this conversation for you.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MEGAN GOLIGHTLY                                                                * Website: Go-Simplified [https://www.go-simplified.com/] * Instagram: @GoSimplified [https://www.instagram.com/gosimplified/] * Simplified’s Guides: How-To Guides [https://www.go-simplified.com/guides] * GoSimplified’s Amazon Store: Shop Now [https://www.amazon.com/shop/gosimplified] OTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE   * Being Home With Nate Berkus (Celebrity Interior Designer & HGTV Star) [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/being-home-with-nate-berkus-celebrity-interior/id1585723033?i=1000598204823] * Being Home With Feng Shui for Families (Kristina Hollinger, Feng Shui Expert) [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/being-home-with-feng-shui-for-families-kristina/id1585723033?i=1000599289281] * Being Home With Clutterbugy’s Organizing Expert (Cass Aarssen) [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/being-home-with-clutterbugs-organizing-expert-cass/id1585723033?i=1000588768989]     CONNECT WITH ME, LAURIE GUNNING GROSSMAN Have questions?
