Lindsey spent over 20 years researching financial inclusion and wellbeing before becoming a certified coach, and she's here to help us have a calmer, more honest relationship with our money.This isn't about becoming a financial expert or getting the numbers "right". It's about noticing the money story you've been carrying around, often without even realising it, and learning how to rewrite it.Why money feels so uncomfortable, and the stories we inherit long before we understand themThe difference in how men and women often talk about money, and where that gap really comes fromWho actually books in with a money coach, and why it's rarely about the number in the bankWhy we avoid opening the post or the banking app, and how to feel calmer when you finally doThe quick, guilt-free wins on subscriptions and savings that take less than 15 minutesRethinking Christmas and get togethers, and how sharing the load makes everything feel lighterHow to talk about money with your partner without it turning into a fightThe one money habit Lindsey wishes every woman hadWhat to teach your kids about money, and the conversation we should all be having more oftenYou don't need to become a financial expert. You need a better relationship with your money, and that starts with understanding the story you've been telling yourself.So much love, Kimberley and Lindsey xxAbout Dr Lindsey Appleyard, Founder of Noumenia CoachingDr Lindsey Appleyard is the founder of Noumenia Coaching, where she helps people feel more confident, calm and in control of their finances.For many people, particularly women, planning finances can feel overwhelming and stressful.

Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!This week I'm sharing 20 simple ways to shift the energy in your home and start attracting miracles, plus why you really don't need to remember all 20, just the one or two that strike a chord.If your home has been feeling a bit heavy lately, this episode is your permission slip to just do what you can, however small. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is a calm home.Open every window in your home, even if it's just for five minutes, and let the old energy out to make way for the newClear your bedside table, because what surrounds you while you sleep matters more than you'd thinkBring in fresh flowers somewhere you'll see them daily, they don't need to be expensive to lift your moodWipe down your front door, a two minute dust down that invites new opportunities inPut away the clothes on the chair of doom, that one piece of furniture every home seems to haveFix one tiny thing that's broken, the wonky handle or the sticky drawer you've been stepping around for yearsClear the kitchen worktop, because the kitchen is linked to your wealth and prosperity and needs the energy to circulateEmpty your most cluttered drawer and only put back what you actually useWrite down what you want next, that exchange of energy from pen to paper makes more of a difference than you'd thinkThank your home for three things, and notice how much the energy shiftsYou don't need to do all 20 at once. You need to notice which one your home is asking for right now, and let that be enough for today.So much love, Kimberley xx2026 Year of the Horse Energy Planner: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-plannerJoin the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleyA bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-serviceWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram @thefengshuiflow! xx Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!This week I'm sharing the nine different personalities your home can have, and why getting to know your home's personality matters far more than chasing a "perfect" looking space.If you recognise your home in two or three of these, that's completely normal. Homes, just like people, are complicated.Why your home has its own personality, just like people do, and the patterns worth paying attention toThe stubborn home, and why that broken drawer has been sitting there for four yearsThe rescuer home, and how to stop your spare room permanently waiting for somebody elseThe chaotic home, and why you don't need to be minimalist to calm it downThe nurturing home, and the fine line between comfort and stopping your own growthThe spicy home, and the small changes that turn the volume down without going blandThe sleepy home, and the simplest way to wake it back up againThe needy home, and why it could be quietly costing you your time, money and energyThe sad home, and how to gently let it move forward with youThe lucky home, and the one habit that stops good energy running dryYou don't need a perfect feng shui home. You need one that supports the life you're trying to live, and that starts with understanding who you're really living with, the people and the four walls around you.So much love, Kimberley xx5 Days to Manifest: https://www.kimberleygallagher.com/5-days-to-manifest-with-the-lions-gate-portal2026 Year of the Horse Energy Planner: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-plannerJoin the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleyA bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-serviceWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram @thefengshuiflow! xx Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!This week I'm doing a proper dos and don'ts, walking room by room through your whole home, dead practical, starting outside your front door and working our way right through to the garden.If something I mention feels impossible to change, don't. If it feels a little uncomfortable, that's usually a sign it needs doing.Why your front door is the mouth of chi, and the one thing to check before you walk through itThe hallway habit almost all of us are guilty of (hint: it's behind your doors)Why your living room layout might be quietly stopping you connecting with the people in itThe "little museum" trap our shelves fall into, and why your home should reflect who you're becoming, not who you wereWhy the stove is a wealth hotspot, and the habit that could be limiting your income energyWhy your dining table might secretly be an office, and how to bring back real connection thereWhat's living under your bed, and why it matters more than you'd thinkWhy the spare room becomes the place decisions go to dieYour home is communicating with you all day, every day. You don't have to fix everything today, just choose the one thing that came to mind while you were listening.So much love, Kimberley xx5 Days to Manifest: https://www.kimberleygallagher.com/5-days-to-manifest-with-the-lions-gate-portal2026 Year of the Horse Energy Planner: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-plannerJoin the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleyA bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-serviceWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram @thefengshuiflow! xx Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!In this episode, I'm chatting about the energy of August, why this month feels so different after the intensity of the Lion's Gate Portal, and how this beautiful shift is inviting us to become more of who we really are.I'm sharing why protecting your energy is one of the kindest things you can do for yourself, how to stop carrying other people's emotions, and the feng shui energy that's encouraging us to create calmer homes, deeper conversations and stronger connections with the people who matter most.I'm also talking through the Year of the Horse energy for August, why expression is the theme of the month, and how your home, your work and your relationships all begin to reflect the person you're becoming.Why the biggest lesson from the Lion's Gate Portal isn't about manifestation, it's about believing you deserve more and betterHow protecting your energy can stop other people's negativity from taking over your dayThe story that completely changed the way I think about standing up for others, and why some moments really do matterWhy August's feng shui energy reminds me of Mrs Weasley, and how this month's focus is on kindness, connection and looking after the people you loveHow to care deeply for others without carrying the weight of everybody else's emotionsWhy creating cosy, calming spaces at home can help regulate your nervous system and refill your own cup firstHow the Year of the Horse energy is encouraging you to express yourself more freely, trust your creativity and stop hiding who you really areWhy your home should reflect the person you are today, not the version of yourself you've already outgrownThe privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.This month, let yourself be seen a little more, speak a little more honestly, and trust the version of yourself that's ready to emerge.So much love, Kimberley xx5 Days to Manifest: https://www.kimberleygallagher.com/5-days-to-manifest-with-the-lions-gate-portal2026 Year of the Horse Energy Planner: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-plannerJoin the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleyA bespoke analysis of your home to unlock the exact remedies your living space needs to support you in a life of more abundance and prosperity: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/home-analysis-serviceWork with me 1 to 1 here!If you loved this episode don't forget to subscribe, leave a 5* review on Apple Podcasts and tag me in your stories on Instagram @thefengshuiflow! xx Hosted on Acast.
