Real Wellness Begins At Your Front Door
Join design experts Michele Pelafas and Valerie Putman as they dig into why your home might be quietly sabotaging your wellbeing, and what to do about it.
They’ve spent 20+ years understanding why some spaces drain your energy while others restore it. Now they’re revealing the hidden ways your home shapes your life—from your morning routine to your family dynamics—and sharing wellness design secrets that can transform how you live.
New episodes every Tuesday.
Welcome To A New Kind Of Design Conversation
Most conversations about wellness are about what goes into your body. No one seems to ask how the spaces we live in affect your body, mind, and soul—every single day.
The Space to Be Well dives deep into a new standard for design—one that treats your home not just as a backdrop, but as an active support system for living well.
This isn’t about trends. It’s not about the perfect paint color. It’s about how your space feels to live in—how it meets your needs, reflects your identity, and helps you thrive.
It’s Not Just About Looks, It’s About How You Live
You’ll Realize Why Some Beautiful Spaces Feel Impossible To Relax In
You know how some gorgeous living rooms somehow never get used, while that one cozy corner becomes everyone’s favorite spot?
You’ll learn exactly what makes the difference—and how to create more of those magnetic spaces in your own home.
You’ll Learn How To Create Spaces That Are Stunning And Perfectly Suited To You
The most exceptional spaces are those that combine sophisticated beauty with thoughtful functionality.
We dig into why those spaces are only possible when you stop chasing someone else’s aesthetic on Pinterest.
You’ll Discover The Details That Matter (Hint: It’s Not What HGTV Tells You)
You’ll learn to question every “rule” you’ve been told about good design—and instead identify the details that create the most meaningful impact on your comfort and wellbeing.
Because wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is your home.
