The Space to be Well

by Michele Pelafas and Valerie Putman

You can do all the workouts, green juice, and meditation you want, but if your home keeps you wired, tired, and restless—you’ll never feel the full effect. Wellness design experts Michele Pelafas and Valerie Putman reveal how your environment is shaping your body, mind, and daily habits in ways you might not realize. This isn’t a show about decorating tips. It’s about creating spaces that nurture your best life and align with the woman you’re becoming. If you’ve ever felt like your home looks good but doesn’t feel good, this podcast is your invitation to finally change that.
