#84 Why Your Beautiful Space Feels Hollow – And How to Fix It

Valerie Huard and JM Tetreault Season 1 Episode 84

In this episode, Valerie and JM unpack the emotional disconnect behind aesthetically beautiful spaces that feel hollow. They explore how life transitions, loss, and emotional needs often get left out of design trends. You’ll learn how to bring soul back into your space with texture, memory, and meaning—so it reflects who you are now, not just how it looks. Redesign your space not for style, but for healing.

  • Why styled homes can still feel empty – Understand the emotional gap behind picture-perfect spaces.

  • How life transitions impact your environment – Explore how your home may no longer reflect who you are.

  • Ways to add meaning back into your space – Use texture, memory, and comfort to create connection.

  • Simple design shifts that support healing – Add warmth through scent, light, sound, and personal items.
