Soft Alchemy with Stevie Reneé

Creating Inner Sanctuary: Mindful Tips for Fostering Home Within Self

Steph R. Long Season 2 Episode 3

Have you ever considered the impact of your living space on your mental and emotional well-being? What about the impact of your daily routines on the living space within your mind? If there's one thing my spiritual journey is presently teaching me, it's that feeling at home is not just about aesthetics, but also nurturing our inner selves. In this episode, I unpack the psychological and emotional impacts of interior design, how to create a sense of inner peace for overall wellness, and why our true home is in the here and now—word to Thich Nhat Hanh.

Learn practical ways to build your inner sanctuary, and uncover how just a few tweaks to your day-to-day can help you create more harmony within your soul. Nurturing our inner world is just as crucial as our outer one, and take it from me, it's totally a journey worth embarking on.

Soft Alchemy is the evolution of my earlier work, In Case Nobody Told You. While the name has changed, the heart remains the same: creating grounded, honest spaces for healing, reflection, and liberation—especially for sensitive, intuitive, and socially aware beings navigating growth in a complicated world.
