  • Author Leidy Klotz ON: How Environment Shapes Habits, Creativity, and Connection

    Author Leidy Klotz ON: How Environment Shapes Habits, Creativity, and Connection
    Mar 13 2026
    How much do the places around us shape the way we think, behave, and connect with others? In this episode of Motherhood Unstressed, I sit down with behavioral scientist and author Leidy Klotz to explore the hidden influence of our environments. Drawing from his new book In a Good Place: How the Places Where We Live, Work, and Play Can Help Us Thrive, Klotz explains how homes, workplaces, schools, and cities quietly shape our habits, relationships, and overall well-being. The conversation explores how thoughtful design can encourage creativity, connection, and healthier routines and how small changes to our surroundings can dramatically shift the way we experience daily life. For parents, entrepreneurs, creatives, and anyone interested in building a life that feels more intentional, this episode offers a fresh perspective on the environments that shape us. In this episode we discuss: Why the environments around us influence behavior more than we realize How the design of homes and workplaces affects stress, creativity, and connection Small environmental changes that can improve family life Why certain places foster friendships and community How changing environments can spark new thinking and habits The psychology behind why some spaces help us thrive while others drain us About the Guest Leidy Klotz is a behavioral scientist, University of Virginia professor, and author whose research focuses on how design and environment shape human behavior. His work examines how small changes to the spaces around us can improve well-being, relationships, and decision-making. His latest book, In a Good Place, explores how the environments where we live, work, and play influence our ability to flourish.

  • Joe Dispenza–Inspired New Year Meditation: Intention, Visualization & Becoming

    Joe Dispenza–Inspired New Year Meditation: Intention, Visualization & Becoming
    Jan 7 2026

    In this Joe Dispenza–inspired guided meditation, you'll slow your nervous system, release the energy of the past year, and intentionally step into the version of yourself you are becoming.

    This 10-minute practice blends intention setting, future-self visualization, heart-centered awareness, and elevated emotion to help you embody alignment rather than chase outcomes. Instead of forcing goals, you'll practice becoming the person who naturally lives them.

    This meditation is designed for the new year but it can be returned to anytime you need a reset, clarity, or a reminder of who you're choosing to be.

    Best enjoyed seated or lying down.

    No prior meditation experience needed.

  • Healing Beyond Autism: Biomedical Breakthroughs, Spellers & Hope with Honey Rinicella

    Healing Beyond Autism: Biomedical Breakthroughs, Spellers & Hope with Honey Rinicella
    Dec 3 2025

    In this inspiring conversation, I sit down with MedMaps Executive Director Honey Rinicella to discuss her family's journey through autism, biomedical healing, and the breakthrough communication method featured in the documentary Spellers. Honey shares how addressing underlying medical issues transformed her twins' health, why MedMaps is leading the way in root-cause pediatric medicine, and how her once non-speaking son is now attending college and advocating for others. This episode is a powerful reminder that there is always hope, and that healing can come from directions you never expected.
