Episode 29: How Your Home Impacts Your Mind: Design, Light, & the Nervous System with Geri Del Vento
We first met Geri Del Vento when we were hunting for a space to record this very podcast, and hers was so beautifully designed we couldn't stop talking about it. Geri is a Venezuelan-born, Miami-raised creative whose path wound through dance, church environments, and motherhood before landing in interior design, and she brings real warmth and intention to everything she touches. We get into something I care about deeply: the connection between your environment and how you feel. Geri explains why design is more than aesthetics, it's intentionality, and how the spaces we live in speak directly to our nervous system, our sense of calm, and even our sleep. We dig into lighting, talk about color, and why the goal is never to chase a trend but to find what genuinely brings you peace. We get into texture and we talk about which rooms matter most, why the kitchen and family room might be your true sanctuary, and how to treat the bedroom as a place of rest. Whether you want to refresh one room on a budget or rethink how your whole home makes you feel, this one will change how you see the space around you.
