Episode 53 - Productive Workspaces: How Your Environment Affects Focus and Performance | with Natanya Gidoomal

Kathy is joined by Natanya Gidoomal, interior designer, somatic trauma-informed coach, and neuroscience enthusiast, for a conversation that will make you look at the room you're sitting in very differently. Natanya's journey through design, coaching, and lived experience has led her to one powerful insight: your workspace isn't just a backdrop. It's actively shaping how you think, feel, and work. Together they dig into the science of clutter (and why it's doing what you think it's doing to your brain), the truth about colour psychology, why physical comfort goes way beyond getting a decent chair, and how beauty, nature, and texture all have a genuine role in a productive environment. Whether your desk is a disaster zone or a minimalist dream, this episode gives you practical, neuroscience-backed steps to make your workspace work harder foryou. youtube.com/@willowandrest instagtam.com/willowandrest_coaching
