Episode 371: A Mini-Feng Shui Consultation with Susan

This week, we’re thrilled to welcome Susan, the winner of last fall’s listener giveaway for a mini feng shui home consultation. Together, we explore the emotional and practical realities of living alone in a large home — and how clutter, unfinished projects, and constant change can subtly impact how we feel each day.

Through the lens of feng shui, we discuss the importance of creating a space that supports clarity, groundedness, and ease. We share practical, accessible shifts to help Susan transform her home into a place that feels harmonious, supportive, and truly aligned with her life.

What we talk about in this episode:

  • The essential need for calmness and clarity in life

  • How different spaces in a home can evoke different feelings

  • Feng shui principles that can help improve energy flow in a home

  • How clutter can create emotional and physical overwhelm

  • The front door is crucial for welcoming positive energy

  • Windows as a representation of clarity and vision in life
    …and much more!
