Episode 211: Creating Homes & Spaces for Peace, Comfort and Deeper Connection with Anh Lin

We are ending 2023 with some lighter topics! So let's talk about our HOME and the spaces we live in. The word HOME has layers of meaning for so many. If you pause long enough to reflect, you might find some good, or not so good, emotions floating under the surface.  Whether you never had a stable place you called home, you moved a lot, your family didn't have many resources, or your home was a place of safety and comfort, today's conversation is for anyone who wants to create meaningful spaces for their own peace of mind, their family, and those they invite into their home. 

 

Terra Mattson, Living Wholehearted co-host and professional counselor and executive coach, talks with designer, Anh Lin, about the way our homes play a key role in our stories. Whether you want to learn some new design tips (not our typical podcast vibe) or you want to understand the importance of environmental spaces and how they affect our mind, body and spirit, listen in. Anh shares her own journey of moving to California from Vietnam as a little girl and the way her early story shapes the value she sees in having a forever home to live in now, and with Jesus someday as well. 

 

Anh Lin is a dynamic interior stylist celebrated for her captivating designs and thought-provoking writing, including, The Abundant Life Devotional Journal. In 2014, Anh’s passion for storytelling and empathy for others inspired her to start the popular faith and lifestyle blog “Girl and The Word”. Since launching the blog, Ahn has continued to expand her influence through YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and her successful online shop, The Hooga Shop. She lives in a renovated 1940s fixer-upper with her husband and adorable corgi, Ollie. Her upcoming book, Forever Home: Moving Beyond Brokenness to Build a Strong and Beautiful Life, reflects her personal journey and provides insightful guidance for creating a fulfilling and meaningful life.
