Working from home can feel like freedom — but for many people it slowly turns into mental overload, lack of boundaries and constant low-level stress.

In this episode, I share my personal journey from chaotic kitchen-table workdays to creating spaces that truly support focus, creativity and recovery. You will learn how your environment directly influences your nervous system, productivity and even self-confidence.
