With over 30 years of experience in interior design, Nicole explains how our environment directly influences our emotions, nervous system, and well-being. She breaks down the science behind how our brain processes beauty and why clutter, disharmony, and even outdated furnishings can create subconscious anxiety. Nicole offers simple, practical steps anyone can take to transform their home into a space that fosters peace, safety, and personal healing \u2014 without expensive makeovers or professional design help.\nAbout the Guest:Nicole Baxter is an expert interior designer with three decades of experience and the founder of The Emotional Home. She blends neuroscience with design, helping people understand how their living spaces impact their mental health and emotional well-being.
