How Your Home Is Helping—or Hindering—Your Emotional Wellbeing with Adrian Ramsay

Have you ever paused to wonder how your home is truly making you feel?
Not just how it looks—but how it holds you, supports you, and reflects the woman you’re becoming?

In this beautiful and deeply insightful episode of the podcast, I sit down with internationally acclaimed building designer Adrian Ramsay to explore how the spaces we live in either nurture our emotional wellbeing—or unknowingly chip away at it.

Adrian is not only the creative force behind The Emotional Floorplan, Design Magic, and Land Whispering, but also the Queensland host of the TV series Dream Homes Revealed on Channel 9LIFE. His visionary designs, spanning Australia, New Zealand, France, India, England, and the USA, blend beauty, functionality, and an emotional depth that truly sets him apart.

In our conversation, we dive deep into:

• The concept of the Emotional Floorplan — and why your home should be built around how you want to feel every day.

• How daily rituals, hormones, and spatial awareness play a role in shaping the way we move through our homes.

• Family dynamics and why your home must evolve with the emotional needs of the people living inside it.

• Biophilic design principles — how bringing more nature indoors can enhance mental clarity, cognitive function, and peace.

• Lighting design and the powerful emotional connections created through thoughtful lighting (and yes, even the simple magic of candles at the dinner table).

• The importance of setting technology boundaries to foster deeper, more meaningful connections at home.

• Land Whispering — a concept Adrian beautifully shares, reminding us that the land holds energy that can deeply influence how we feel and experience a space.

NOTE: Andrian mentions the prayer he starts his day with. It's Ho’oponopono, the Prayer for Forgiveness, Healing, and Making Things Right.
This daily ritual sets the emotional tone for his day—and for the spaces he creates for others.
