Sister Science Stories

Feng Shui for Kids' Bedrooms: Setting the Stage for a Successful School Year Back-to-school season means your kids have changed. Catching up to that change can be as easy as giving a little attention to their bedrooms. In this episode of Sister Science Stories, I sit down with feng shui specialist, interior designer, and healing touch practitioner Wendi Napier to talk about how the spaces our kids sleep, play, and grow in need to evolve right alongside them. Wendi walks us through the foundations of BTB feng shui and how she applies it in real family homes - starting with the "command position" of the bed and why it matters for a child's sense of safety, when to ditch the bunk beds, and how to offer the right amount of choice to foster independence in your kids.  We get into the layers of lighting a growing kid needs, from night lights to black out blinds. Task lighting, play or study zones, and how to let your kid's interest detemine what gets packed away or showcased.  This conversation is a pretty fun preview of everything Wendi will be teaching in much greater depth this fall in her course, The Language of Space.  Our ten-month journey into the subtle energies of pattern, shape, colour, and sound frequency, starts on September 18th.

What makes a life stable when everything is changing? In this deeply honest episode of Sister Science, Jill and Chelsea explore the metaphor of building a solid foundation, in construction terms, and as a way of understanding truth, authenticity, and resilience in real life. Using the elements of water, wind, fire, and seismic pressure, they unpack what actually destabilizes us: emotional overwhelm, external opinions, unexpressed truth, identity loss, and life’s inevitable curveballs. Together, they explore what it means to build a life - and a body - on solid ground rather than constant repair. This conversation weaves together: Emotional intelligence and our relationship with feelings Nervous system regulation and grounding practices Ayurveda’s wisdom on Vata, Prana, and Agni (fire) The cost of people-pleasing and performance-based living Why some things must burn down so something truer can grow How community, habits, and daily rituals become the “rebar” that helps us flex instead of collapse This is not about blaming the past or judging old choices. It’s about asking a powerful question: If you were rebuilding your life now - what would you build it on? A conversation for anyone navigating transition, uncertainty, growth, or the quiet knowing that the old foundation no longer fits. Listen in, reflect honestly, and consider what kind of structure you’re ready to build next.

In this episode of Sister Science Stories, we explore what happens when a seed of inspiration becomes a fully embodied practice. My guest, Lucas Arnatt, is the creator of 7th Breath Yoga - his divinely downloaded, modern system that weaves conscious breath, mantra, sacred geometry, and the mystical power of the number seven into a living, breathing practice where intention meets manifestation.  Together, we dive into the tension of creation, the sacred space where intuition meets action, and the Feminine flow finds her home within the Masculine container. Lucas shares how this practice has evolved over the past seven years since its conception in 2018 and why structure serves as a necessary container for spirit. We also explore how this approach can offer an antidote to modern society’s challenges. 7th Breath Yoga offers a powerful practice for a world rediscovering the need to slow down and turn inward.  This conversation is your reminder that the breath itself is the bridge between the masculine and feminine, between the inner and outer realms. 7th Breath Yoga offers a container to reconnect, explore, and amplify the manifestation of your chosen intentions. It does so within a sacred space created by four ancient spiritual principles, yoked together as one uniquely transformative experience.

Do you remember those first years after high school? Twelve years of structure behind you - bells, time blocks, assignments, productivity measured and graded. Then suddenly, what now? The system is designed to funnel us neatly into the next institution: university, corporate jobs, more of the same structure. But Noah, at 20 years old, is choosing another way. He’s following an inner calling - one that demands his attention, rewarding him with rich experiences and beautiful music when he follows. At the same time he can feel the flow of creativity needs a container, a, different kind of structure. Not the rigid systems of school or a 9-to-5, but a steady reliable set up, something strong enough to hold the art wanting to flow through him. In this episode, you’ll hear from a young man, still altruistic and deeply tuned to his inner wisdom, navigating the question of how to trust that journey and what he’s building to support it. Listen in, and maybe you’ll recognize parts of your own story in Noah’s.  This season I decided it was important to start getting some male perspectives on this whole Yin Yang balancing act. Important to reinforce the narrative that is goes well beyond a gender stereotype or issue. That each of us works best when we honour the Yin and the Yang, the Feminine and the Masculine energies, in us.  Join us at SisterScience.ca to start your own powerful healing journey. The Year of YOU is our signature year-long self discovery course, or book a call to bite off just one small first step.
