In this episode of This is Getting Old, I speak with Brittany Olson, an expert in Feng Shui and interior design. She shares her insights on how our environments impact our wellbeing and why creating an intentional space is so important. As someone who works with various clients, Brittany emphasizes the powerful role a well-designed space plays in promoting calm and positive energy.

Brittany explains that Feng Shui is not just about arranging furniture—it’s about aligning with natural energies and creating harmony in our surroundings. She offers practical tips on how to introduce these concepts into any space, whether it’s your home, office, or even a small room. Understanding Feng Shui helps clear mental clutter and fosters an atmosphere conducive to peace and productivity.

During our conversation, Brittany shares her journey into Feng Shui and how she realizes its potential to transform people’s lives. She speaks about the importance of decluttering and creating a balanced environment where energy flows freely. This approach, she believes, is vital in a world that often feels chaotic and overwhelming.

One of the most eye-opening moments in the interview happens when Brittany discusses the impact of colors, shapes, and materials in the home. She explains that even small adjustments—like adding plants, adjusting lighting, or rearranging furniture—can have significant effects on our emotional state. Her advice is practical and easily adaptable, even for those who don’t have a lot of space or resources to work with.

Brittany also offers to help listeners who are interested in exploring Feng Shui more deeply. She encourages anyone with questions to reach out to her via email. She loves hearing from people and is happy to provide advice on how to bring positive change to any space.

As we wrap up, Brittany’s philosophy that creating an intentional, harmonious space is a simple but powerful way to improve our mental and emotional wellbeing resonates strongly.
