The Essence of Connection

This episode ties beautifully into my book Creating Healing Spaces for Children, because at the heart of both is one simple truth:
our home shapes how we feel, how we connect, and how our children grow.

While today we’re talking about Christmas traditions, the deeper message is the same — our environment holds emotional power. The spaces our children move through every day influence their sense of safety, their ability to regulate, and their experience of love and connection.

And that’s exactly what my book explores: how thoughtful, science-backed choices in our home — from materials to layout to sensory elements — can nurture calm, confidence and wellbeing all year round.

If today’s episode inspired you in any way, you will love the book.
It’s practical, grounded and filled with heart.

This conversation with Marianne weaves perfectly into the heart of my book Creating Healing Spaces for Children, because at its core, both speak to the same truth: our environment is either lifting us or slowly wearing us down.

Whether we’re talking about the toxins that affect women’s hormones, the stress we carry in our nervous system, or the way our children learn to feel safe and self-sufficient, it all comes back to the spaces we live in every day. Marianne’s story reminds us that healing begins with awareness, and my book offers the practical, science-backed steps to create a home that supports the well-being of every woman and every child inside it.

When we choose calmer spaces, natural materials, and nurturing routines, we’re not just decorating — we’re building resilience, joy and long-term health for our families.
