What does living within your authenticity look like?  What would embracing it and live from it look like? Are there certain places or areas of your life where you feel more like your “True Self”?  Or are how she become misplaced? As a reforming people pleaser, I could identify with Camilla Cream and her “Bad Case of the Stripes” by David Shannon When you purchase a piece of art or a historical document, you often receive a Certificate of Authenticity.  What would your Certificate of Authenticity look like? What would happen if you wrote your Certificate of Authenticity across your heart and moved and lived life by staying true to that document? It sounds exciting and clarifying in the quiet moments when we are alone with ourselves.  It’s not as easy in the different circles that we navigate life in. In this episode, I take you through the moments in life when our authenticity is eroded.  Not intentionally or with malice by others that want the best of us.  Or from those that feel threatened by our light and joy.  Through social pressure and conforming and fear of judgement, we question our uniqueness or inherent values. Often (like Camilla Cream) we change to disguise our uniqueness without recognizing the true consequences of our actions. This episode was designed to help you re-write your Certificate of Authenticity. You will learn how to investigate the evidence of abandoned authenticity. And how to rediscover your magic.  And how to support the girls and women in your life to write their own authenticity on their hearts!

Episode 48: Embracing Authenticity

We have all heard the reports of how important a good night’s sleep is. Poor sleep leads to a plethora of conditions that haunt us in our waking hours; affecting everything from weight gain, to chronic pain, to mental fog, and the list goes on. For many of us, it seems like something that we have little to no control over. If you were to chat with a feng shui expert, you would get several insights into changes you could make. A neuroscientist would have some suggestions as well. As would an herbalist/naturopath. A meditation expert offers up a different set of suggestions. As a holistic and intuitive designer, I like to uncover all of a client’s challenges to make sure that the design that we are co-creating serves them on the deepest level. And in the bedroom, we want to create an environment that is restful and conducive to sleep as possible. We have come to believe that there is something wrong with us if we have trouble sleeping. But there are small habitual changes and some design decisions that we can make that may seem silly but actually make a big difference. In this episode, I help you look at 7 changes that you can make to begin to improve both the quality and quantity of your sleep.   Most of these changes are very simple and easy to “stack.”  If you have been around a while, you know that I am a huge fan of James Clear and his book Atomic Habits.  It’s easy to say, “I don’t sleep well.”  When you say that, you become that person.  But when you begin to shift your mindset toward better sleep and commit to taking steps toward that, you will begin to feel better in every area of your life.  Instead say, “I provide myself (my family) with a restful environment.” Start by taking one small step, and then allow the habits to stack until you become a person who gets enough quality sleep to THRIVE! go to https://www.inhereyespodcast.com/episode47

Episode 47: Environmental Habits for Better Sleep

I have been intrigued by the concept of Chakras since I first heard of them 20+ years ago when I began practicing some DIY Kundalini yoga postures. I think the fact that they each had a relationship with their own color is what intrigued me the most. In the beginning, I thought of them as imaginary energy pockets because nothing I had ever been taught in my years of scientific training matched this concept.  I know that the body works in ways that we have yet to fully comprehend.  And focusing on the different Chakras in my practice through the guidance that I was provided felt good, even if I didn’t fully understand the principles behind them. For many years, I left it as that. Working with and understanding color is a natural part of both who I am and what I do.  It wasn’t until recently that I realized that I was also tapping into my intuitive nudges when working with clients and color.  Thanks to some extraordinary coaches and soul-sister companions that I have met in the last 2 years, I have been able to see the work that I do in a different way. In reading Alberto Villalldo’s book, THE WISDOM WHEEL, I found the connections I have been seeking between my years of scientific training, my passion for color as a force, and my desire to help others feel at home in themselves and their spaces. This magical phrase was a revelation: “The 7 Chakra system corresponds to our physiology and coincides with the 7 major endocrine glands + nerve plexus in the body.” -Alberto Villoldo I explain the concept in depth in the episode. It is fascinating to me that the concept of these energy centers has existed throughout human history in diverse cultures that had no contact with each other.  Leave it to a stubborn, Medical Anthropologist to weave the connections into something we Westerners can comprehend! Tapping into this knowledge can provide insight into information that extends beyond your physical self and into everything around you. Be sure to stay to the end where I teach you a powerful CHAKRA CLEARING exercise that you can do whenever you need to step back into HARMONY.  The exercise begins at the 39-minute mark if you want to bookmark it for later reference. Grab a pen and your journal, you won’t want to miss this RAINBOW RIDE! go to https://www.inhereyespodcast.com/episode46 to listen!

Episode 46: Using Science + Chakras to Love Your Home 

As an interior designer, nearly every conversation that starts a new project either begins with a series of excuses (why things are the way they are) or the realization that the clients just can’t stay in the state they have been and need help getting to where they want to go. It takes a bit of self-actualization to realize that you need outside help to get to your desired goal. That is true in design as it is in virtually every other part of life. That doesn’t mean that help has to be professional. It doesn’t even mean it has to be a person. Shifting how you are thinking about any situation is the ONLY path forward. “If you correct your mind, the rest of your life will fall into place.” -Lao-tzu It was an act of trusting Divine guidance that brought Dr. Wayne Dyer into my life in the first place.  If you are a fan of his like I am, you know the power of his words as well as the power of the thought behind them. The book, Excuses Begone! In this episode, I use the inspiration of this book as a springboard for this deeper understanding of excuses and they affect us far more than we realize. We journey through the 7 principles you need to master to move into an “excuse-less” way of living.  Those principles are:  Awareness Alignment Now Contemplation Willingness Passion Compassion  I provide you with a formula for incorporating these principles as well as mantras you can use daily to shift the control of your life from your subconscious into your consciousness. Using Dr. Dyer’s guidance system, we can practice these principles by starting small and allowing them to filter into our conscious (or waking) minds. Soon, they become the natural framework for working through much bigger tasks, dreams, and ideas. Be sure to stay to the end where I share with you the moment that these 7 principles showed up in real form as I was making the last notes on this podcast!

Episode 45: What's Your Excuse?

Do you wish there was a fabric that met your busy family’s exact needs? Maybe there is … but no one took the time to explain it to you! I have found that very few furniture salespeople understand the difference in fabric constructions.  And even fewer take the time to explain them in a way that helps you come to an informed buying decision.  It can lead to future frustration and regret. The words “performance fabric” get thrown around a lot.  But what do they really mean? That is the very reason I am so excited to have Fabric Expert Extraordinaire, Heather Raibold-Hill as a guest on the In Her Eyes podcast. The right fabrics can transform the way you get to live in your home! Matching your fabric needs to your family’s needs and your personal design aesthetic is the secret to creating a lovable and liveable home that stands the test of time! How things look is only half of the design puzzle. The secret to creating a home that you love is making informed choices.  Determining what serves your needs, and the needs of your family in each individual space. Heather Rabold-Hill has been in the design industry for nearly 3 decades.  With a background in History, she is both an educator and a storyteller in the way she weaves fabric choices into her work.  With extensive experience in fabric workrooms, at both Calico Corners and the luxury home furnishings store, Sheffield’s; Heather learned firsthand how different fabrics work in different applications.  As a representative for a variety of designer exclusive fabric and wallpaper suppliers, Heather is passionate about educating her customers so they can stay at the forefront of product technology to make the best possible choices for their design clients. She is currently a regional sales rep for Stout Fabric a 4th generation fabric supplier in Pennsylvania. In this episode, we explain  exactly what it means when a fabric is called a Performance fabric. How they have evolved through the years Which ones should be used for which situation Each of the different types and the process involved in creating them And THE EXCITING NEW FABRICS ON THE HORIZON!  Fabric is the one of the best examples of the phrase, “Necessity is the Mother of Invention.” And on the subject of motherhood, Heather talks about the influence that being in the design industry had on her 2 amazing (and amazingly different) daughters.  Including the lessons and gifts that they will take with them into adulthood. Great design means there is a place for everything, and everything in it’s place.  And there is a perfect fabric to create the look and feel you desire to create.  It’s just getting the facts straight!

Episode 44: An Active + Beautiful Home is Possible with Peformance Fabrics with Heather Rabold-Hill

Annie Wagoner

Instead of talking about dieting and exercise as the path to our best selves, what if we talked about what lights us up? We know that we should be doing things that are good for us.  But with so many “experts” out there, who really knows what is right for you, my uniquely beautiful and magical friend? What if we are already receiving clues to what nourishes us and are either too busy (or too self-critical) to listen? Nourishment is something that we don’t talk about enough. When it comes to food, exercise, or even self-care; we talk about what we should do. Or shouldn’t do. But very seldom do we talk about it in the context of what truly lights us up. And how to live in healthy alignment with the concept of nourishment. My guest on Episode 43 of the In Her Eyes Podcast is an expert at that. In so many ways. Annie Wagoner is a mom of 2 amazing kids, military spouse, compassionate listener, former perfectionist, recovering sugar addict, outdoor enthusiast, and athlete. She is also a certified holistic health coach, certified personal trainer, yoga teacher, and healer in the Seacoast area and beyond, specializing in women’s wellness. Founder of and podcaster for Core Nourishment, and creator of the Wellness Portal for Women, Annie loves holding space for and witnessing the “aha” moments as individuals navigate their own journeys, explore and discover more self-confidence and love for themselves (from the inside-out), their community, nature and life. She is deeply passionate about educating and empowering others to make positive lifestyle choices so that they can fuel their bodies, work, relationships, passions and dreams. Annie aims to guide women to reach their highest potential, and creates action plans for her clients, ultimately guiding them to empowerment, radiance, and core aliveness. Annie is compassionate, attentive, gentle yet also fierce… in her workouts and in her belief that every single human and their bodies ARE magnificent and wired to heal. She guides her clients (in-person and virtually) to break through false stories, old negative patterns, confusion, and to learn to listen, trust (their bodies), and come back home to themselves and their health. Join us as we explore this new angle on “consumption. There were so many golden nuggets in this episode that are easy to incorporate into your daily life. You will love Annie’s tutorial on how to shift into present moment awareness to live with more joy no matter what you are doing. What you will discover in this episode:  How to avoid guilt when it comes to eating or exercising What happens biochemically when you are acting in guilt or stress mode How to tune into your body The value of cravings How to involve your children in the practice of nourishment Why present moment awareness is so important  This was such a beautiful conversation. And one we ALL deserve! https://www.inhereyespodcast.com/episode43

Episode 43: Nourishment with Annie Wagoner 

Do you have conversations with yourself standing in front of the pantry, trying to talk yourself out of (or into) eating something? Or do you wonder if something you are taking as a supplement is the best option for you? Or are you taking the right amount? Most of us live our life in ever-present sensory overload. It is hard to trust our own intuitive nudges. In fact, we have been taught to do just the opposite.  We are constantly being bombarded with information that we need something more than we constantly have.  Something that someone else wants to sell us.   Or so it seems. In today's episode, I have a fun way (really 2 different ways) to "test" the things you are wondering about. You can take this episode lightly and really have fun testing out some different things.  Or you can find some real answers to things that you might have rattling around that you wish you had direction on. I learned these methods through a training that I did with the incomparable Energy Healer, Donna Eden. Energy (or strength) testing is common in the naturopath industry.  It's a fun practice to learn to circumvent any intuitive hits that you might be having about something you are putting in (or on) your body.  Even if this "isn't your thing", it's a good way to remember to take a pause and move into the present moment in whatever you are doing! Nothing that I talk about should be done in lieu of a doctor's advice if you are addressing a medical condition.   No matter what your thoughts are, this is just plain fun to do! If you have questions about how to do this, go to the episode webpage for more information:

Episode 42: A Fun Way to "Test" for Energetic Alignment

As we near the mid-point of the year, I want to ask you a question? How are you doing on those New Year's Resolutions? Do you even remember yours? Are you on track? This episode is for those of us (me included) who struggle to stay on track with our yearly resolutions.   Transforming your "goal" into an intention can be more than just semantics.  It can be a powerful shift if you are doing it within a format that has chronological, even undulating, structure. This New Moon that occurs on Monday, May 30th is the PERFECT opportunity to either get back on track or take action on something that has been needling around in your mind. Maybe it's an idea that's been patiently waiting below ground, ready to burst forth in the warmed spring soil. Or maybe it's YOU that is ready to move up through the seclusion of winter and blossom into the golden sunbeams! It is your time, my friend! Listen as I take you through this new course of action.   To begin, it is important to understand the difference between IN-TENTION and AT-TENTION. In this episode, I explain why that is as well as the reason that THIS is the PERFECT time to get started.

Episode 41: Intention versus Attention

What do you REALLY want?   I have been asking that on a deep and introspective level this past week.   Peeling back layers. Dissecting what's true for me versus what has come from the expectations and all of the "shoulds." Maybe it was the Full Lunar Eclipse.  Maybe it was just time.  But once I began to distill down to the core, I recognized that the knowing was only half the battle. -To stay true to myself and what I want and truly believe in; -To live at that level of integrity to accomplish what I want to accomplish; -To allow me to dream beyond what I see, what I currently know, and where my heart wants to go; require a shift in both my doing and my thinking. In this episode, I lead you through 6 exercises (aka journal topics) to help you journey through those layers and create an actionable plan. A PLAN that honors YOU. If you are listening on the go and want to find each prompt, you can find them at these time stamps: [9:55] Prompt 1 [22:20] Prompt 2 [30:09] Prompt 3 [36:06] Prompt 4 [42:55] Prompt 5 + 6  For the complete show notes and all of the episode resources: head over to www.inhereyespodcast.com/episode40

Maybe it was the Full Lunar Eclipse.  Maybe it was just time.  But once I began to distill down to the core, I recognized that the knowing was only half the battle. -To stay true to myself and what I want and truly believe in; -To live at that level of integrity to accomplish what I want to accomplish; -To allow me to dream beyond what I see, what I currently know, and where my heart wants to go; require a shift in both my doing and my thinking. In this episode, I lead you through 6 exercises (aka journal topics) to help you journey through those layers and create an actionable plan. A PLAN that honors YOU. If you are listening on the go and want to find each prompt, you can find them at these time stamps: [9:55] Prompt 1 [22:20] Prompt 2 [30:09] Prompt 3 [36:06] Prompt 4 [42:55] Prompt 5 + 6 For the complete show notes and all of the episode resources: head over to <a href="http://www.inhereyespodcast.com/episode40" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.inhereyespodcast.com/episode40</a>

Episode 40: Honoring Your Heart's True Desires

Lauren Roberts

Over the past 2 years, we have seen a drastic shift in how people work.  The increase in people working from home has caused the interior design industry to flourish.  Today we dive deeper into this phenomenon.  It's not just the physical location, but how we see ourselves in relationship to our jobs or the work that we do in the world that we address. Originally, I invited today's guest, Lauren Roberts, onto the podcast to discuss the roles that Lunar and Seasonal Cycles play in our lives.  By understanding the effects that they have on our emotional well-being, we can be kinder to ourselves and work within the influences.  I hadn't really thought about it in terms of how we approach work.  Yet for the majority of time we are on Earth, we are working (or thinking about work!)  Whether we are taking care of others or showing up at a corporate job or trying to support ourselves (and our families) by running our own businesses; we spend much of our lives in the act of DOING in order to PROVIDE. Our actions become the currency of our worth. I love the direction that this conversation took.  It is a beautiful shift in perspective.  One that I found highly valuable and I hope YOU do as well! Why this episode is so juicy: Lauren is multi-passionate and finds it hard to fit what she does in one sentence, but in essence, she helps people find ways of working that enable them to feel aligned and purposeful - tuning into their core values, their energy type, and personality to work in flow, bringing fun and flexibility into the working week! She has a degree in Psychology, is a trained ICF coach, reiki practitioner, Astrologist, guide, and mentor, and with 15 years of corporate marketing experience. In this episode, you will learn:  Why we need to change the way we work How to step out of the cycles of burnout How to integrate all that we are into our work How we can help our children redefine the way they see work  The importance of the working environment How core values differ from beliefs The tools you can use to start working WITH your gifts rather than thinking you need to do something a certain way  To find out more, discover the ways to connect with Lauren, and access the free tools that she mentions in the episode.

Episode 39- Shifting Perspective on the Way We Work with Lauren Roberts

From the moment we looked into our daughters' gorgeous eyes, we knew we would never be the same. Every day we see our own struggles and joy reflected back as we strive to meet their needs but not abandon our own. We are mommas on a mission to help our creative girls THRIVE.I am Lynne Niehaus, an Interior Designer, artist, momma, biologist, and space coach. I host this podcast for women who want to reconnect with their own magic, conquer the chaos, and support their daughters through the beautiful, but often choppy, waters of raising confident girls who can trust their own spark.

It's frustrating when the time has come to make some changes and you and your spouse or child don't see eye to eye on the details. In this episode, I walk you through the way to move beyond heated opinions and land on a plan that brings you closer together instead of in a power struggle or a whirlpool of indecision and hurt feelings. Change can be hard for some people.  Planning ahead can be hard for some people.  Winging it can be hard for some people. But understanding each other's deepest needs can provide clarity forward. I give you the direction you need to move toward that clarity.

Episode 38: When You Disagree With Someone You Love on Design or Best Use of a Space

It's natural to get the itch to spring clean. That nesting instinct comes with the seasons and the sense of renewal that we are experiencing right now. By tuning INTO nature, we can uncover a way to convert "spring cleaning" into a "spring renewal" for our homes. There are so many reasons to give your home a good refresh this time of year. As this episode falls in the same week as Earth Day, I wanted to help you not only eliminate the drudgery and overwhelm but to also give you a crash course in detoxifying your spaces.   Your home + YOUR BODY will thank you! Finding great products that do a great job cleaning can be time-consuming (AS WELL AS MISLEADING!) I pull back the curtain on the ways that you could be tricked into buying things that only appear to be healthier. And give you the tools to give your home that refresh that it needs by eliminating harmful toxins that cause hormone function disruption, headaches, skin problems, chronic lung issues, anxiety, AND MORE! You will want to save this episode to come back to. As you start to eliminate the culprits to your (and your family's) discomfort, you will naturally become more aware of the toxins in your environment.  This desensitization process is one of the best gifts you can give yourself and your family.

Episode 37: Spring Cleaning that's Good for YOU + the Planet

I believe that our homes should be sacred retreats where we feel safest to be our truest selves. Now don't get me wrong. Attending a meditation retreat is currently at the top of my bucket list.  A luxury that I have yet to afford myself. (But will!) When we approach our homes with the intent of living with ease, beauty, and authenticity; we can feel ourselves growing toward that truth. But sometimes, knowing what it is that we really desire -at our core- requires diving deeper.  And in this episode of the In Her Eyes Podcast, we discuss how you can do that! Over the years of being who others have wanted or expected us to be, our bodies become the storehouses for the parts of us that don't get to see much light.  As time passes, we forget the way back down those dimly lit corridors that house the magical bits of us that we were too afraid to show to the rest of the world. Our energy becomes stagnant.  They crop up in our lives as destructive patterns that repeat themselves, feelings of disconnect and lack of fulfillment, and even chronic disease. But just like a spring breeze stirring up the ravages of winter and making way for new growth to emerge, so can our own breath. Breath can be calming and nourishing. But it can also be fierce, rejuvenating, and electrifying! Sweeping out the cobwebs. Washing away long established patterns of doubt and self-destruction. And with a little trust and a great facilitator, your breath can blast through those stagnant spaces and re-acquaint you with the answers that you might be seeking.  You can think of it as the best kind of Spring Cleaning! My guest today is exactly that! INGUNN YTTERHUS is a breathwork facilitator, somatic healing advocate, and an Embodiment mentor deeply passionate about the power of our own bodies and breath, the duality between our archetypal energies; the soft fierce feminine and the safe igniting masculine, and the divine wisdom and power that's available to us all when we allow ourselves to remember who we REALLY are. In this episode you will learn:  The power of committing to a practice. What 7 minutes a day can unlock. How to reignite your own creativity. How to clear the negativity that you might not even realize you are experiencing. How to document + view your progress. How to unlock a new level of manifestation. Ingunn's beautiful story of transforming heartbreak into her life's passion + work.

Do the spaces in your home feel choppy and disconnected? Or does it flow? What does that even mean? Flow means something different in nearly every branch of science.  And Merriam-Webster has 13 definitions of flow just as its basic use in our daily language.  It is no wonder it's hard to pin down exactly what you can do to create a sense of flow and harmony within your home.

In this episode, I provide you with the design guidance you need to bring that much-coveted concept into your home. I teach you how to use your body as a diagnostic tool for your space.   You will also learn what sightlines are and how to strategically blend areas. If there are colors that you love and you just don't know how (or where) to introduce them into your design scheme, I will give you the design advice that you have been looking for to help you incorporate them so they feel effortless.   A space that flows creates a sense of safety and allows your body to slip into a more relaxed state. In this episode you will learn:  the most common mistake people make in design that inhibits flow. the method for using your body to tap into your intuition to uncover the disconnection in your space the easiest ways to create flow that cost no money the ways to incorporate the colors that have healing powers that we learned about in the last 3 episodes

Episode 33: A Home Designed to Heal- Part 3: White, Yellow, Pink, Brilliance, Silver, + Pearl

You may have heard of COLOR PSYCHOLOGY, but we are going MUCH deeper! In Part 2 of this three-part series, you will learn how to tap into the energetic power of 6 colors to unlock the secrets that they hold. You will learn how to use (or lose!) colors that will affect both how you feel about your home AND how to feel better in it! For as long as I can remember, I have had an intense relationship with color.  I have very strong, full body reactions to color. I am hypersensitive to color. We have been conditioned to think that is a BAD thing. BUT IT IS NOT! During my time away from the podcast, one of the things that I did was become laser-focused on healing a malady in my hand that I have been struggling with for nearly 10 years.  In that process, I stumbled upon the brilliant work of Inna Segal.  She uses (and teaches!) color as a tool for physical healing. For all of the years that I have been working in the Home Decor and Design Industry, I have had the pleasure of clients sharing with me how much physically better they felt after making the color changes that I had suggested.  I have a drawer full of beautiful letters that I treasure.  I know that this extreme way that I see and feel color is a gift.  One that I love sharing. But in Inna Segal's The Secret Language of the Body, I found a written account of what I have always felt but had no words for.  I don't know of anything that has ever resonated more! I dove in headfirst.  And share what I have uncovered in this series of 3 episodes! Building on what we worked on last week, I talk about why you don't want to over use the color gray and other various colors that can have an immediate impact in your space. This episode unlocks the magic of: GRAY INDIGO MAGENTA CORAL LILAC (mauve/lavender) AND RUBY (red) As I walk you through the value of each color in a room design, I also teach you how to recognize if it is something you need more of to pull your space together.  Or might need LESS of depending on the emotional responses that it causes. BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY INTO A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF COLOR HERE. What you will learn:  the specific emotional traits of each of the 6 colors discussed examples of ways to use them why they are important to the overall design of a space what it might mean when a color "triggers" you or you have an aversion to it how adding different colors can balance the energetic flow within and between different chakras how to detect when you have too much of a color even if it is a color that you love!

Episode 032: A Home Designed to Heal- Part 2 (Using Gray, Indigo, Coral, Magenta, and more)

We are about to embark on a color journey that is designed to help you thrive in your home. Whether you are suffering from any physical or emotional ailments or you just want to feel your best in your home, THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU! Although we think of colors as static, they are actually wavelengths of light.  In order to see them, our eyes (which are part of our neurological system) use electrochemical reactions to send the information to your brain to tell you what color something is.  It only makes sense that can cause a physiological response in your body. And research has shown that different colors affect different systems in your body triggering different emotions or feelings. In Part 1 of this three-part series, you will learn how to tap into the energetic power of each individual color to make it work for you. You will learn how to use (or lose!) colors that will affect both how you feel about your home AND how to feel better in it! For as long as I can remember, I have had an intense relationship with color.  I have very strong, full body reactions to color. I am hypersensitive to color.

I dove in head first.  And share what I have uncovered in this and the next 2 episodes! As I began studying this work, I began to see the parallels to what I naturally feel as I work on spaces with clients.  And I recognized how powerful it could be if we ALL understood it! Over the next 3 episodes, I will work through the various colors that I feel will have the most impact by understanding and strategically utilizing. This episode starts with the most basic colors in Design. BLACK BLUE BROWN (including wood) GOLD AND GREEN As I walk you through the value of each color in a room design, I also teach you how to recognize if it is something you need more of to pull your space together.  Or might need LESS of depending on the emotional responses that it causes. I am so excited to share this work with you! BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY INTO A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF COLOR HERE.

For all of the years that I have been working in the Home Decor and Design Industry, I have had the pleasure of clients sharing with me how much physically better they felt after making the color changes that I had suggested.  I have a drawer full of beautiful letters that I treasure.  I know that this extreme way that I see and feel color is a gift.  One that I love sharing. But in Inna Segal's <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Language-Your-Body-Essential/dp/1582702608" rel="noopener nofollow" target="_blank">The Secret Language of the Body</a>, I found a written account of what I have always felt but had no words for.  I don't know of anything that has ever resonated more! I dove in head first.  And share what I have uncovered in this and the next 2 episodes! As I began studying this work, I began to see the parallels to what I naturally feel as I work on spaces with clients.  And I recognized how powerful it could be if we ALL understood it! Over the next 3 episodes, I will work through the various colors that I feel will have the most impact by understanding and strategically utilizing. This episode starts with the most basic colors in Design. BLACK BLUE BROWN (including wood) GOLD AND GREEN As I walk you through the value of each color in a room design, I also teach you how to recognize if it is something you need more of to pull your space together.  Or might need LESS of depending on the emotional responses that it causes. I am so excited to share this work with you! BEGIN YOUR JOURNEY INTO A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF COLOR HERE. What you will learn: <ul> <li>the specific emotional traits of each of the 5 colors discussed</li> <li>examples of ways to use them</li> <li>why they are important to the overall design of a space</li> <li>what it might mean when a color "triggers" you or you have an aversion to it</li> <li>why it is important to move all the way through your emotions and how colors assist in that process</li> <li>how to detect when you have too much of a color (even if it is a color that you love!)</li> </ul> <a href="https://www.inhereyespodcast.com/episode31" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.inhereyespodcast.com/episode31</a>

Episode 31: A Home Designed to Heal Part 1: Working with Black, Blue, Brown, Gold, + Green

How often do you avoid doing something- even something that you want to do- because it feels overwhelming? Or there is too much that you don't know? If you have ever found yourself saying, "I would love to ___________________, but I don't even know where to start!"  This episode is for you! Did you know that as we age we are less likely to start something new, or take action on something we want because we focus more on what we don't know than what it is we want? Perfectionism can creep in and derail your progress. Or judgment-from others or yourself. Or a sense of lack. Any of these things can slide in and prevent you from moving forward if you don't have a strategy that your heart and mind have a connection to.  In this episode, I provide you with practical tools to move through the OVERWHELM that often comes with a new project or great idea. You will learn a sure-fire tactic to create a game plan even when you have big gaps in your knowledge of how you are going to pull it off. (There is even a worksheet you can download.) To access the worksheet and the mood adjusting essential oils that I discuss in the episode, go to: https://www.inhereyespodcast.com/episode30

Episode 30:How to Diffuse Overwhelm and Move toward Your Goals

What is your relationship with MONEY? Or is it something that you try not to think about? Just cross your fingers and hope it's there? How do you talk to yourself about money? Do you avoid debt at all costs, even when it means letting opportunities pass you by? Or is it a weight that feels ever-present?  An embarrassment that feels you with shame and regret? Money is a quintessential piece of the design process.  Even if you are the scrappy, DIY type- you still need money to make things happen. My guest, Jessica Marie, has an empowering approach to the conversation about money.  She is a financial empowerment coach.  She has spent her adult life re-writing her own personal money story and there is a lot to learn from her narrative! Her "Don't Back Down" attitude yields a wellspring of wisdom despite her humble beginnings. Jessica Marie has experienced much adversity during her lifetime and has overcome many difficult challenges. She considers herself a work in progress, but also, part of the solution. Jessica is a twice-divorced mother of 3, a survivor of domestic violence, and a recovering alcoholic. For decades, Jessica would not back down. When facing trauma, she picked herself up and moved forward. Lessons were learned, and a few years ago when she found herself deep in debt, she discovered the answer to financial empowerment and developed a program to help others in the same situation. Today Jessica is an author, entrepreneur, and financial empowerment coach whose passion is to inspire others with the message that they too, can thrive during tough times and to never give up!  In this episode we cover:  Why words matter How to unpack our false beliefs that become self-fulfilling prophecies How to think about money in a new way What debt really is Why it is important to spend "in alignment" How to evaluate your relationship with your money How to teach your children to develop their own financial empowerment What steps to start creating a money story of abundance  For the full show notes and to take advantage of the generous freebies that Jessica Marie has offered to the listeners of the In Her Eyes Podcast, go to: www.inhereyespodcast.com/episode29

Episode 29: Money Magic with Financial Empowerment Coach Jessica Marie

From the moment we looked into our daughters' gorgeous eyes, we knew we would never be the same. Every day we see our own struggles and joy reflected back as we strive to meet their needs but not abandon our own. We are mommas on a mission to help our creative girls THRIVE. I am Lynne Niehaus, an Interior Designer, artist, momma, biologist, and space coach. I host this podcast for women who want to reconnect with their own magic, conquer the chaos, and support their daughters through the beautiful, but often choppy, waters of raising confident girls who can trust their own spark.
