🏡✨ **NEW PODCAST EPISODE: How Can Our Homes Become Spaces That Support Our Wellbeing?**

I’m excited to share that a brand new episode of the **Happy Being Well Podcast** is now live with **Chelsey Luger** — Lakota and Anishinaabe wellness expert, co-founder of Well For Culture, and author of the beautiful new book:

📖 ***Native Home: The Ancestral Art of Creating Healing Spaces*** (published by HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins).

We spend so much time thinking about wellness through food, exercise, mindset, and self-care—but what about the spaces we live in every day?

In this thoughtful conversation, Chelsey shares Indigenous wisdom and ancestral teachings that invite us to see our homes not simply as places we live, but as spaces that can support our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. 🌿

In this episode, we explore:

✨ How our homes can influence how we feel
✨ Indigenous minimalism and letting go of excess
✨ Decluttering with purpose and intention
✨ Creating spaces that encourage movement and wellness
✨ The role of lighting, sound, air quality, and energy in the home
✨ The deeper meaning of smudging and cleansing rituals
✨ Designing a home that reflects our values, ancestry, and what matters most
✨ Why home has always been considered a source of healing and connection in Indigenous traditions

Chelsey also shares beautiful stories from her family and ancestral teachings that inspired *Native Home*, reminding us that creating a meaningful home isn’t about perfection—it’s about intention, connection, and creating spaces that restore us.

This conversation gave me so many new ideas about the relationship between wellness and the environments we create around us, and I think it will inspire you too. 💗
