house therapy | the commanding shift that changed everything

what happens when you give yourself more space?

for one client, it changed everything.

years ago, she invited me into her home for a 1:1 consultation. at the time, she was in transition. she had closed her business; she was full of ideas; and she felt like none of those sparks were gaining traction.

so, we walked her space with that in mind, and when I saw her workspace, I knew we had an opportunity. she worked from a tiny desk crammed between the kitchen and dining room. she was facing a wall, boxed in. so, I asked her to move her desk.

I gave her a new configuration (one that I knew she might feel resistant to initially) and asked her to try it for just nine days.

she did. and within that time, something clicked.

she emailed me to say she had woken up with a fully formed idea for her next venture – one that would soon evolve into a thriving business with executive clients and a full team.

many more years later, we reconnected, and she told me:

“the day I moved into command – and the day you taught me how to pair my intentions with red string –everything changed.”

and it wasn’t just her business that shifted.

give this week’s episode of House Therapy a listen to hear this story because it perfectly captures the power of shui’s simple wisdom to pivot each of us in a whole new direction! xo
