Let me know if you’d like the tone to be more formal, playful, minimalist, or tailored to a specific audience.
Our home is where we live, grow, and connect with the people we love. But let’s be honest—life at home can get pretty chaotic, especially when you have kids. That’s why it’s so important to create a space that supports your well-being and brings a sense of calm and balance.
As a business owner and mom of four, I’ve had to rethink how I approach wellness. My gym membership has been sitting unused for years, even though I’ve always been committed to staying healthy—even during three pregnancies in three years. Back when I was 35 and single, I had all the time in the world to hit the gym, run a 10k, and squeeze in a yoga class, sometimes all in one day. But now, with three little ones and a blended family, every minute counts.
Time has always been valuable, but now I feel it more deeply than ever. With both my husband and I working from home, we’ve come up with a few simple strategies to keep our space clean, calm, and full of positive energy. Our goal is to lead by example for our kids, showing them what it means to live with intention and wellness. We’ve built our family life around three core values: happiness, freedom, and health.
Here are some easy ways you can start turning your home into a holistic haven:
**Clear the clutter.** A clean, open space makes it easier to stay motivated and healthy. Clutter drains your energy, so try to keep things minimal and organized. I like to use natural cleaners like vinegar and essential oils to keep the house fresh and toxin-free.
**Create a wellness corner.** Set aside a space in your home that’s just for your well-being. Fill it with things that make you feel good—natural light, calming scents, meaningful art, and cozy textures. Add yoga mats, crystals, or fitness gear to make it your own. Keep this area free from chemicals and anything that doesn’t support your health.
**Unplug your bedroom.** Too many electronics in the bedroom can mess with your sleep. Try removing gadgets like phones, tablets, and even alarm clocks. Artificial light can interfere with melatonin, so keeping your sleep space tech-free can really improve your rest.
**Revamp your fridge.** Open your fridge and take a good look—does it reflect the kind of energy you want in your body? Toss anything that doesn’t serve your health and restock with fresh, whole foods. A fridge full of vibrant, nourishing options can lift your mood and energize your body.
**Protect your home’s energy.** Your home should feel like a sanctuary. That means being mindful of the energy you bring into it. Practice kindness, patience, and love every day. Cut back on negative talk, gossip, and complaints. Instead, focus on speaking with respect, integrity, and compassion.
The most important thing my husband and I have learned is to be patient and kind with ourselves and each other, especially during times of change. Creating a holistic home doesn’t have to be complicated, but it does require a real commitment to living your best life with the time you have.
