Here is a fun behind-the-scenes fact: I record this podcast in a shitty, faux wood-paneled, 1957 sewing room. So, I was admittedly a little intimidated by Veronica. Her company specializes in wellness architecture - the art and science behind designing built environments that enhance human health and well-being. Veronica has practiced architecture, speaks, and leads think tanks all over the world. She is doing amazing work. 

We’ll, of course, learn more about what wellness architecture is and how Veronica is helping clients improve their lifestyle through wellness builds. She also brings awareness to how our surroundings have an impact on us. Did you know that even the sound and smell of a building can affect our physiology and psychology? It’s a fabulously interesting concept and and eye-opening conversation. 

We also have a deep discussion about running too fast and how to purposefully slow down. Veronica shares some of her own self-care practices. Finally, we talk A LOT about habits - shifting habits, changing habits, and yes, even the unhealthy habits. The struggle is real, so let’s be honest, right?

Hopefully, this episode is a reminder to you, as Veronica so eloquently said, to, “Start surrounding yourself with something that can empower you to live the purpose-driven life you were designed to live.“
