123: Spatial Alchemy: Transform Your Home to Transform Your Life with Olga Naiman

Have you ever wondered how the spaces we inhabit shape who we are? Olga Naiman, a Spatial Alchemist and author of "Spatial Alchemy: Design Your Home to Transform Your Life," believes that our homes hold the potential to influence our lives profoundly. Through a unique blend of home design and personal growth, Olga offers a roadmap to empowerment by transforming our physical surroundings.

Olga's journey into spatial alchemy began in October 2020 when she found herself stuck both personally and professionally. Frustrated with her circumstances, she took a bold step by reupholstering her furniture—not for the present, but for her future self. This act of future-oriented design unlocked what she describes as a miraculous transformation. Her career as a design therapist was born, leading to writing her book, "Spatial Alchemy."

The concept of coding your home involves a deliberate choice of items that align more with where you want to be rather than where you've been. Olga explains that objects we interact with daily, like mirrors, towels, or even kitchenware, can subconsciously influence our mindset. By selecting items that reflect our aspirations, such as vitality or calm, we can create environments that support our goals and dreams.

Olga suggests moving beyond classic decluttering and adopting a process she calls "dissolving." This method focuses on letting go of unwanted identities and patterns encoded in our possessions. By releasing items that are more representative of our past, we create space for new opportunities and energies. This process not only transforms our homes but revitalizes our self-worth.

Olga inspires us to bring the future we envision into the present by consciously designing our home. By doing so, we can cultivate spaces that aren't just aesthetically beautiful but are also energetically supportive and transformative.

About the Podcast

Mystical Sisterhood
Mystical Sisterhood is a celebration of women interested in connection to themselves, community, and the Universe. If you are a woman seeking conscious conversations on modern spirituality, understanding your soul’s journey, contemplating new directions in life, and mystical practices, you are in the right place!

The weekly podcast is hosted by Maureen Spielman, a Transformational Life Coach, trained in the Art and Practice of Spiritual Psychology, as well as Integrative Wellness and Conscious Parenting.

Maureen boldly invites the questions we only feel safe enough to ask in the community of other curious women ready to shift the current paradigm and soar. These curated conversations marry what we think of as our mainstream lives with the mystical.

Each episode infuses everyday women with the strength and clarity to rise above the self-limiting beliefs we have all heard on repeat in our heads so we can step into the limitless possibilities for shining and thriving in this lifetime.

Through interviews with healers, intuitives, and other courageous women doing the work of developing our inner lives, Maureen explores how to leave the lack dance behind, reclaim our worthiness, honor our intuition, and let the light in so we can more clearly see the light in others (and ourselves).

If you want to join this global movement of healers and seekers creating a new paradigm convened by an authentic woman who embodies the transformation practices she promotes, subscribe and listen to the Mystical Sisterhood podcast today.
