   How Your Home Can Become a Healing Space: Indigenous Wisdom with Chelsey Luger | Native Home

   What if the space you live in could play a much bigger role in your wellbeing? We often think about wellness in terms of what we eat, how we exercise, our mental health, and how we care for our bodies—but what about our home? In this episode of Happy Being Well, Rita Farruggia sits down with Chelsey Luger, Lakota and Anishinaabe wellness expert, writer, co-founder of Well For Culture, and co-author of The Seven Circles, to talk about her powerful new book, NATIVE HOME: The Ancestral Art of Creating Healing Spaces, published by HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins. Chelsey explores how Indigenous ancestral wisdom can change the way we think about our homes—not simply as places we live, but as spaces that can support our physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual wellbeing. Together, Rita and Chelsey explore what it really means to feel at home and how our surroundings can influence the way we live, think, move, rest and connect. In this fascinating conversation, Chelsey shares insights on: ✨ The home as a source of wellness — why our living environment deserves a place in the modern wellness conversation. 🌿 Indigenous minimalism — why true minimalism isn't simply an aesthetic or having less stuff, but a deeper way of thinking about what we value and what we choose to keep. 🏡 Creating a home with intention — how lighting, sound, food, organization, movement and design can influence the experience of a space. 🧹 Decluttering with purpose — what seasonal decluttering can teach us about releasing physical and spiritual excess. 🧘♀️ Creating space for movement and wellness — how to make physical activity a natural part of everyday home life. 🔥 The spiritual relationship with home — why ancestral teachings viewed the home as something more than an inanimate structure. 🌬️ Cleansing and honoring your space — including Chelsey's perspective on smudging, air quality and approaching these practices with respect and intention. 🪶 Ancestral wisdom in modern homes — how to learn from Indigenous teachings while still honoring your own cultural heritage and personal roots. ❤️ The story of Chelsey's grandmother's home and the Lakota values that influenced Native Home. And perhaps one of the most important questions of all: What if creating a healthier life also means creating a healthier relationship with the place you call home? Native Home offers an invitation to look at our homes differently—to consider how the spaces around us can reflect our values, support our wellbeing and help us feel more connected. Listen to this episode of Happy Being Well for an inspiring conversation with Chelsey Luger about Indigenous wellness, ancestral wisdom, intentional living and creating a home that restores rather than exhausts you. 📖 NATIVE HOME: The Ancestral Art of Creating Healing Spaces by Chelsey Luger is published by HarperOne, an imprint of HarperCollins.
