But I'd be interested to hear your take on it, downsizing.
29:00
Yeah, I think downsizing is usually a pretty big initiation.
29:06
I personally went through it, I want to say many times, but what comes to mind as the biggest one was when I got divorced because I moved from a 4,000 square foot mansion in the water in Palm Beach to a tiny two bedroom apartment.
29:24
And I think that a lot of times when I've seen women that are going through midlife or are becoming empty nesters is that going to this new place and downsizing into this new place is the first time that they have enough distance from who they were in the past and what their story is.
29:45
And they're able to just kind of start to realize that there's a lot of things that they were surrounded by that no longer fits physically, but also no longer gets to come with them in this next season of life.
29:58
So it's an opportunity for reinvention.
30:02
there often is a lot of grief involved because we have to kind of archive earlier versions of us and recognize that there were just a lot of things that didn't come out to be the way we wanted or just a lot of melancholy.
34:38
So I'd love to hear you.
23:19
And I'm curious for listeners who are unfamiliar with feng shui, could you tell us a little bit about how you incorporate that into your work?
23:27
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
23:29
There's a lot of ways that feng shui is alive in my work.
23:32
In essence, feng shui is a very ancient wisdom.
23:36
It's not a new thing by any means.
23:38
It's got over 5,000 years of being on the earth.
23:43
And it was initially... initially used to bury royals and kings and queens.

What can that look like when you're working with someone in their home to what sounds like transmuting energy, shifting energy, bringing in positive energy? What kind of practices do you bring in?
29:05
Yeah.
29:05
So there's definitely a lot of practices.
29:09
And this is where the witchy side of me gets to also play.
29:12
And it's really fun.
29:14
I would say, again, the home method is kind of how I structure and bring a clear container to how we do any kind of design, any kind of ceremonial practice.
29:24
But we begin always with healing.

So when you hear people that are struggling with sleep, What is it that you share to support that? And I know environment is a big piece, but are there any specifics in terms of sleep?
