Our home is where we live, grow, and love—but it can also be a source of stress, especially with kids in the mix. Here’s expert advice on how to turn your home into a haven of holistic health and lasting peace of mind.
As a business owner and mom of four, I’ve watched my gym membership gather dust. Though I’ve always prioritized wellness—even through three pregnancies in three years—finding time for a 90-minute gym session became impossible.
At 35, when I was single, I had what now feels like endless time to hit the gym, run a 10k, and attend yoga—all in one day. I’ve always loved working out, but now, with three little ones and a stepchild, every moment is precious.
Time has always been valuable, but now I feel its worth more deeply than ever. With both my husband and I working from home, we’ve adopted strategies to keep our space clean, clear, and healthy. Our goal is to model wellness and leadership for our children, grounded in a family philosophy of excellence.
We’ve chosen happiness, freedom, and health as the pillars of our family life. Simple strategies help us stay aligned with our values and function at our best—for ourselves and our kids.
A clean, spacious, and vibrant home inspires healthy habits. Minimize or eliminate clutter to create breathing room and boost your energy. Every inch of clutter drains your life force. More space means more vitality. I like to clean with vinegar and essential oils for a natural touch.
Designate a corner or room in your home for holistic health. This space should energize and uplift you. Fill it with art, natural materials, sunlight, essential oils, and items that support your well-being. Crystals, yoga mats, and fitness props are great additions. Keep it toxin-free and full of positive energy.
Limit electronics in the bedroom to improve sleep. Remove gadgets that interfere with melatonin production—yes, even alarm clocks. A tech-free bedroom supports deep, restorative rest.
Revitalize your fridge with whole, living foods. Clear out anything that doesn’t nourish you physically or emotionally. Stock it with vibrant, life-giving ingredients. A fridge detox and refuel can make your cells sing with gratitude.
Treat your home as a sacred space. Eliminate toxic energy by practicing daily love and kindness. Be mindful of your words—reduce gossip, complaints, and negativity. Replace them with respect, integrity, and compassion.
The most important thing for my husband and me has been practicing extreme patience and kindness during this transition.
Creating a holistic home is simple, but it requires deep commitment—to your health and to living your best life with the precious time you have.
