Feeling tired, foggy, or drained at home? It might not be you, it might be the air you breathe!

Most people don’t realise that the air inside their homes can be up to five times more polluted than the air outside. From cleaning products to furniture, everyday toxins build up quietly, but there’s a simple, natural way to change that.

Today, Etienny Trindade reveals five beautiful, easy-care plants that do more than decorate: they clean your air and heal your space.

You’ll learn:
 The science behind how indoor plants remove toxins like formaldehyde and benzene
 What neuroscience says about plants lowering stress and improving mood
 How to choose the right low-maintenance plants for your family (even if you don’t have a green thumb)
Why caring for plants can help you feel calmer, happier, and more connected

This isn’t just about houseplants — it’s about turning your home into a living, breathing sanctuary that supports your wellbeing every single day.

Welcome to the very first episode of Happy Healthy Homes! In this introduction, I share my story and the heart behind this podcast; why our homes are more than walls and furniture, and how they can truly embrace us.

You’ll hear about the concept of an affective home, how to create a relaxing corner in your space, and why design choices like light, colour, and nature (biophilia) play such a big role in our health, emotions, and family wellbeing.
