Send us your desired health topic or guest suggestions
When Mahwish Syed was handed a breast cancer diagnosis, she embarked on a journey that was as much about interior design as it was about survival. Our latest conversation with the author of "Purgatory to Paradise: How Cancer Helped Me Design an Authentic Life" is a tapestry of revelations on how a life-threatening illness shifted her life's canvas from bleak to beautiful. Mahwish's insights into how her cultural roots and love for mythology helped her embrace life's cycles, including death, are not just thought-provoking; they're life-affirming.
Creating a sanctuary within our own walls is an art, and in this episode, we learn just how empowering it can be. We uncover the principles of neuroaesthetics with Mahwish, an interior designer by trade, who used her expertise to fashion a healing space in her home that aided her recovery process. She shares the profound impact of natural light, textiles, and personal treasures on our well-being, adding layers to the notion that our environments can be both a refuge and a source of strength, especially when our health is compromised.
Our discussion closes on an intimate note, as Mahwish reflects on the shifts in her personal relationships during her cancer journey. We explore the essential need for a nurturing environment and genuine connections, and how they can form the bedrock of healing. Mahwish also offers a treasure trove of resources for those seeking solace and growth, Join us to see how transforming your space might just be the key to unlocking a healthier, more authentic life.
