The Power of Scent - How it impacts our lives in amazing ways! My interview with Founder of UK-based Floral Street Fragrances - Michelle Feeney

It was quite a week last week in the studio. We released two great episodes of the show.

I was excited to have my interview with London-based Michelle Feeney - founder, CEO and creative mind behind Floral Street Fragrances (personal fragrances and home scents). It was a perfect conversation with someone following their passion for work and life!

Michelle Feeney - Founder of Floral Street

As you know, as a creative person that wears many hats - I like talking to other creative people that are living a life that they love and ones that are open to sharing their story and their journey.

Michelle was wonderful and honest about her career and following her intuition about what her journey has been all about. I found it inspiring and motivating personally. Since it’s release - you guys have responded in a big way as well! Very exciting.

I loved that her product line is all about being eco-friendly and sustainably-produced. What an inspiration! It was uplifting to talk to someone that is doing their part to make a difference in our world. My hat goes off to her and Floral Street!

Home is so personal to each of us. All our senses are affected when we come home or visit a place that we connect with. The power of scent is such a big part of that! I wanted to talk to someone that knows all about the power of scent and how it can affect us in a very powerful, deep, nostalgic way. A certain scent can instantly transport us back in time to a favorite place, a time or to a person. The power of scent is so unique to each of us and yet it’s so powerful as a tool to uplift us, motivate us, calm us or just bring us to a happy place for a moment.

Empowering Parents - My interview with Dr. Nancy O'Hara about how to make home environments better for our children and teens

I was very excited to produce the interview on the show with Dr. Nancy O’Hara - a top Pediatrician here in the US that lectures all over the world about the topics of Anxiety, Autism, ADHD, PANDAS, PANS and get her insight on how chaos in the home environment impacts our children and teens.

Since I am all about talking about how important our home environments are in our lives - I wanted to do a show all about how to empower parents to help make their lives and the lives of their children better in today’s world whether or not they are dealing with some of the issues that we discuss in this episode.

I am a firm believer in our environments making an impact on us - in ways we see and ways we do not see. I recently did an episode of the show that was all about NeuroDesign and it was all about how changing your home environment around impacts your brain! You guys loved that episode. The science and research shows that change is good and that it does make a positive impact on your brain.

This new episode with Dr. Nancy O’Hara is taking that idea of NeuroScience and NeuroDesign and focusing it in on kids and teens.

So it begins.... →

Now that spring has sprung - I have been wanting to start up my blog again.

Since my creative focus over these past several months has been on the show THE DRIVEN BY DESIGN STUDIO - I have been putting off just sitting down and starting the blog. You know how life can be! Time flies and then you find that you have not done what you are getting the urge to do. However, since I am all about promoting the fact that we sometimes just have to just do it - to get things in motion and change up the energy - I am taking my own advice to just get started….and so I figured today was the day to simply start the blog! Here and now. Not about it being perfect - but just in motion and out there!

The show has been something that I am very excited about. When the concept for the show came to me last summer - I felt compelled to bring it to life.

I wanted to take all my years of design experience and my passion for the fact that I have seen how powerful it can be to change environments and how that can affect people’s lives in such profound ways - I knew I had to set the wheels in motion. So I dove into production of it last fall.

Now, we find ourselves with a growing audience and an expanding list of guests.

I am thrilled because the grassroots effort of our audience simply spreading the word about the show is what is making this passion project expand. We are now heard in many cities and countries around the world. That means a lot to me and was not something I expected.

I love home, I love design and I love how we can truly make our lives better through the power of making our homes be the best they can be. I guess you guys agree with that! I am so grateful for that shared connection with all of you.

The Driven by Design Studio

So as I begin this blog - it will be a combination of design projects, behind-the-scenes of the show as we expand into more video content and we continue to speak to amazingly inspiring people to talking up products or places that I come across - simply taking you along for the creative journey I’m on.

I look forward to sharing more with you coming up!

Here we go!
