Lunar New Year Myths

Welcome to The Calm & Happy Home Podcast!This week, I'm talking about intuition, creativity and those quiet little nudges that seem to appear out of nowhere.In this episode, I'm sharing a beautiful idea from the book Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and how it completely changed the way I think about inspiration, creativity and the ideas that come into our lives.• The fascinating idea that creativity and inspiration are always moving around the world, looking for someone to bring them to life• Why so many ideas quietly disappear when fear and self doubt start asking questions• The difference between waiting for confidence and simply following curiosity instead• The powerful road trip analogy that completely changes how we see fear when we try something new• Why you don't need permission from anyone else to begin creating something• How our homes and energy can either block inspiration or allow new ideas to flow more easily• Why the West area of your home in feng shui is connected to creativity and new beginningsCreativity is not something reserved for special people. Ideas are everywhere.Sometimes they are just waiting for someone curious enough to say yes.So the question becomes, what idea might be trying to find you right now?So the question becomes, what have you been avoiding?2026 Year of the Horse Energy Planner: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-plannerYou can buy The Calm and Happy Home now:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Indigo | Watkins Publishing Join the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleySo much love, Kimberley xxA 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 talking about the Ostrich Effect. The very human habit of burying our heads in the sand and hoping that if we don't look at something, it might just sort itself out.In this episode, I'm sharing how avoidance quietly shows up in our homes, our wardrobes, our drawers and our lives, and the small, gentle steps we can take to finally lift our heads back up.Inside this episode, I'm talking about:What the Ostrich Effect actually is and why we all do itHow your home is a mirror of everything you've been avoidingThe unopened bank statements, the drawer of doom and the wardrobe full of old versions of yourselfWhy avoidance isn't laziness, it's usually overwhelm or emotional weightHow stuck energy in your home is linked to the things you haven't dealt with yetWhy you don't need a big life overhaul, just one small thing at a timeHow March's momentum energy is calling you to gently ease your head out of the sandYou cannot always control what's going on around you. But you can control where you place your attention.So the question becomes, what have you been avoiding?2026 Year of the Horse Energy Planner: https://www.thefengshuiflow.com/2026-plannerYou can buy The Calm and Happy Home now:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Indigo | Watkins Publishing Join the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleySo much love, Kimberley xxA 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 talking about the energy of money, why it can feel so emotional, and why this Year of the Horse is asking us to get honest about our foundations before we gather speed.If you’ve been feeling a surge of ideas, quicker decisions, or a sense that life is about to move faster, you’re not imagining it. The energy this year is bold and forward moving. But momentum without stability can feel unsettling, and for many of us that instability shows up around finances.This episode is about understanding money as energy, why avoidance creates more anxiety than awareness, and how to create calm around your finances so you feel steady enough to move forwards.Inside this episode, I’m talking about:Why the Year of the Horse brings action and faster opportunitiesThe connection between your home environment and your money mindsetHow chaos in your space can mirror anxiety around financesWhy financial awareness is a form of energetic self careThe difference between control and gentle supportHow fear about money can block flowSimple ways to clear money energy in your homeWhy intention around how you want to feel matters more than naming a figureHow clarity reduces nervous system stressWhy preparation creates confidence when decisions need to be madeThis is your reminder that looking at your finances is not about pressure or restriction. It is about steadiness. It is about knowing where you are so you can move with confidence when life speeds up.The Horse energy does not require perfection. It asks for readiness. And readiness comes from feeling calm, supported and clear.Let’s strengthen the foundations so you can ride the momentum with ease.You can buy The Calm and Happy Home now:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Indigo | Watkins Publishing Join the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleySo much love, Kimberley xxA 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 talking about the Lunar New Year, the shift into the Year of the Horse, and the myths that tend to create more fear than flow at this time of year.If you’ve been feeling unsettled, emotional, energised one minute and completely drained the next, you are not imagining it. We’re moving through a powerful transition point. The solar feng shui new year has already shifted the energetic blueprint of our homes, and now the Lunar New Year brings the emotional and collective reset.This episode is about understanding what’s actually happening, why February can feel like a threshold month, and how to work with this energy rather than pushing against it.Inside this episode, I’m talking about:Why early February can feel intense, reactive or overstimulatingThe difference between the solar new year and the Lunar New YearWhy the Year of the Horse is about aligned momentum, not frantic actionThe importance of preparation before paceThe symbolism behind common Lunar New Year mythsWhether you really can clean, wash your hair or cut itWhy arguments, money and broken plates are more about intention than superstitionHow beginnings imprint your nervous system for the year aheadWhy boundaries and energy protection matter more than ever right nowHow to strengthen your foundations before March brings more movementThis is your reminder that these traditions are not about superstition or getting it wrong. They are about consciousness. They are about recognising that beginnings matter and that how you show up emotionally and physically at the start of a cycle carries forward.You can buy The Calm and Happy Home now:Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Books-A-Million | Indigo | Watkins Publishing Join the community at somuchlove.com and follow along @somuchlovekimberleySo much love, Kimberley xxA 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.
