Homes That Heal | Transform Your Home Into a Health and Wellness Sanctuary

Ep. #45: Optimize Your Bedroom for Sleep & Wellness

I’m so passionate about this topic because turning my bedroom into a true sanctuary changed everything — my energy, my mood, my creativity, my sleep, and even my relationships. And I want the same for you.

In this episode of the Homes That Heal Podcast, I’m sharing exactly how to create a calming, grounding sleep space that supports rest and restoration — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Here’s what I cover in this must-listen episode:

[3:15] 🛏️ Why your sleep space matters for things like energy, mood, hormones, weight, flexibility, productivity, sex drive, relationships — even creativity and opportunity
[6:00] 📵 Why I never keep phones, TVs, or computers in the bedroom anymore
[16:05] 🛌 My favorite non-toxic, organic mattress (EMF-blocking, cooling, grounding — I’m obsessed!)
[19:30]🧸 Why I swear by my 20 lb weighted blanket for better sleep, less anxiety, fewer nightmares, and more calm
[22:40]📖 Nighttime rituals I love
[23:20]💎 The healing power of crystals like black tourmaline, shungite, rose quartz, and amethyst for raising your room’s frequency
[24:50] 🧹 The importance of decluttering your space — remove stressful energy like dirty laundry, dishes, or piles of paperwork, and let the light in
[27:10]🌿 How I created a calm, beachy vibe in our master bedroom that reminds me of our wedding in the Bahamas (my favorite time ever!)
And here’s a simple truth: your bedroom should feel like a place you can't wait to retreat to. You deserve a sleep sanctuary that’s peaceful, cozy, and restorative. I’ve felt the difference in my own life — and I want that for you, too.

We also dig into the importance of clear energetic boundaries, creating healing environments, and why her podcast title (I Am Not Naming This Podcast) is exactly the kind of bold clarity the world needs.

Is your body making things harder than they need to be? The pain, weight gain, and inflammation can seem to be a never-ending struggle.

For many, nothing seems to work. Every new method leaves them feeling frustrated and exhausted. You try different diets, exercises, or therapies, but the results are always temporary. And the stress of constant setbacks only makes the problem worse.

Healing doesn’t have to be complicated. Your body can feel stronger and more alive with natural, simple solutions that fit your lifestyle. That kind of freedom and energy is right there for you, and it’s easier than you think.

Last year, I discovered something that has been a game-changer for my health and wellness - B3 Bands, or blood flow restriction bands! In this episode, I share my experience with B3 Band and Dr. Wade Anunson, who runs a very successful chiropractic clinic in Madison, WI, explains how these bands work and their benefits, which include increased growth hormone levels and improved tendon strength.

If you’ve felt stuck in your fitness journey or overwhelmed by health concerns, B3 Bands might be the tool to help you move forward. Tune in now!

"Healing isn’t about levels or quick fixes; it’s about holding the frequency, elevating yourself, and embodying the work."
Those are the words of my friend Megan Zechel, who is sharing her family's health journey in this episode.

Megan's health struggles, including rheumatoid arthritis, Hashimoto's hypothyroidism, and food allergies, led her down a path of self-discovery and holistic healing. She didn't find the answers she needed in traditional medicine, so she embarked on a journey of self-education, diving into holistic nutrition, herbalism, and other natural modalities. Her daughter's health issues led her to work with holistic practitioners to uncover the root causes, and the entire family made changes. Through this process, the whole family made significant lifestyle changes to detoxify their home and diet. Megan's husband also faced health challenges, including ulcerative colitis. Again, Megan refused to settle for conventional treatments and explored a more holistic approach, incorporating music therapy, plant medicine, and emotional healing work. The family's dedication to their well-being is truly inspiring.

Tune in now and be inspired to start taking on your healing journey with intention.
