Have you ever walked into a space and instantly felt at ease, as if the air itself carried a sense of calm? Or maybe you’ve entered a beautifully designed home that, despite its aesthetics, still felt chaotic or uninspiring?
The truth is, our homes have a profound impact on our well-being—affecting everything from our stress levels and sleep quality to our focus and overall energy. But what if we could design our living spaces in a way that actively promotes wellness?
In this episode we’re diving deep into innovative techniques for creating a wellness-focused home. But we’re not just talking about standard advice like decluttering or adding plants—today, we’re exploring fresh, outside-the-box design ideas using creative problem-solving methods like mind mapping, SCAMPER, and reverse brainstorming. These techniques will help you reimagine your space in ways you may have never considered before.
Host Joy Nan Rodia shares her personal journey of discovering wellness-focused interior design and how small shifts in her own home led to a greater sense of peace and clarity. Plus, she recounts real-life design transformations, from a stressed-out entrepreneur’s multi-purpose retreat to a home that instantly relieved anxiety with just a few simple adjustments.
Why This Episode Matters
In today’s fast-paced world, our homes should be a sanctuary, not another source of stress. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to create a space that actively supports their mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
Whether you’re a homeowner, an interior designer, or simply someone who values intentional living, these strategies will empower you to transform your space into a haven of wellness.

Holistic living generally refers to a way of life that incorporates mind, body and soul. Ever felt out of balance before? Like you're missing something? Well...there's a possibility you might have been neglecting an important part of your life! Living holistically can be the answer to your problem!
However, holistic life might vary from person to person. Because what may work for someone else may not work for you. For example, some people might meditate or do yoga to connect with their minds and bodies, while others do hip-hop dance in the streets. See? It really depends on the person. The key is to find what works for you and your overall well-being.
A holistic approach to wellness is about more than just physical health; it's also about mental and spiritual health. When you incorporate all aspects of your being into your wellness routine and in your home design you create a more balanced, harmonious, healthy life!

Living a holistic lifestyle has many benefits! Tune into today’s episode to find out why you should consider embracing holistic health and designing your home with a holistic approach .
