Marianne’s story reminds us that healing begins with awareness, and my book offers the practical, science-backed steps to create a home that supports the well-being of every woman and every child inside it. When we choose calmer spaces, natural materials, and nurturing routines, we’re not just decorating — we’re building resilience, joy and long-term health for our families. Link here: https://amzn.asia/d/6jLYBRD   If this episode or my work has supported you in any way, you can also support me with a little “buy me a coffee” moment: it helps me keep creating free, heartfelt content for mums and families who need it.
