#16 EMBODIED HOME: The spaces we make and the spaces that make us
In this episode I talk about the spaces we make and the spaces that make us. Something I call the “embodied home”, which implies that in a literal sense, our homes are places of shelter, comfort and belonging, but in a metaphorical sense, there is a deep emotional connection between our spaces and ourselves and our homes can influence how we “feel”.
A cozy home is not determined by how good it looks, but how good it makes us feel, because every home should be a lived-in vision board of how we want our lives within the home to unfold.
