Elizabeth Armistead is a Feng Shui expert and spiritual empowerment coach with over fifteen years of experience.

This is a conversation about using space as a tool for becoming.

Not decorating tips. Not Feng Shui rules.

This is about who you're becoming and how your space either supports or sabotages that transformation.

Topics we whisper in our conversation:

• Clutter isn't laziness—it's stuck energy, unprocessed emotions, and identity confusion.
• Intentional object selection: does this reflect the life I'm creating or leaving?
• Small shifts, big ripples: you don't need to gut-renovate to transform

Elizabeth: "You can't step into the future version of yourself if your space is still holding the past."

Your space is talking to you. Are you listening?

Every object, every corner, every color is either supporting your transformation or keeping you stuck. You can't become who you're meant to be in a space that reflects who you were.

This is a conversation about the collapse of old paradigms.

Norbert Hrunevics guides conscious entrepreneurs who are ready to move beyond systems that deplete them. Born in the USSR and raised in Hungary, he has moved through cruise ships, corporate Dubai, and back home at 31. He knows what it feels like to rescue everyone while abandoning yourself.

Then he learned something: when you're connected to your soul, you don't need to get energy from outside. You become the energy.

We talk about what happens when you move from your soul center instead of pushing through depletion or hustle culture. We explore communication that happens without words—sensing what people need before they say it. We discuss kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold. The cracks aren't damage. They're where the gold comes in.

Your sensitivity isn't your weakness. It's your medicine.

Cristina is a visual design expert, art historian, and curator of experiences that celebrate rather than compete. We talked about living between worlds. The magical pull of home. The friction of New York. How she went from competitive art spaces to building something collaborative and real. And that's where the actual work happens—in the in-between.

Listen to Cristina process it all out loud.

Your space speaks. Are you listening?

The psychology of space reveals that our relationship with our home directly mirrors our relationship with ourselves. Upload 2 photos of any area in your home + answer 2 questions. I'll send you a personalized voice note revealing what your space is trying to tell you.

This isn't about perfect design; messy rooms are welcomed.

Start here: rhayni.co/voice and let your space speak.

We met a year ago at KU. I was visiting and at one point filling in for Jae Chang's design studio, where students were designing a food hall for the future of KC. I sat down with each student individually and asked them to look at me. Not the computer to show me their design because I want to hear them, look into the person who was designing first, not the computer or their creations.

That conversation with Drew and his classmates stayed with him. He came back a year later to talk about why.

Because here's what he discovered: architecture is really embodied. It's building space. It's locations for our bodies to exist, move, see, hear, and taste. And once you see that—once you actually feel it—you can't design the same way again.

Drew quilts. He's been quilting since he was seven. His mom, grandma, and great aunt, all quilters. He didn't understand the labor until he made one himself. The hours. The care. The intention is embedded in every stitch. That's when it clicked: this is what embodied work looks like. And it changed how he thinks about architecture.

We talked about AI. What happens when the data shaping our design tools carries bias? What does that mean for the spaces we build? But more than that, we talked about whose stories buildings tell. Whose are erased. Because architecture isn't neutral. It's deeply tied to gender identity, to race. It really is a humanities field now.

I shared a story about visiting land in the DR. One development, completely leveled and bare, I got sunburnt in minutes. Less than a minute away, totally different. Cooler. Softer. You could hear nature again. It's not just about cutting trees. But native soil develops over centuries. It manages water, supports root systems, and regulates temperature. When you bring in fill from outside, it doesn't know how.

Drew understood right away. He said something I needed to hear: we don't know better. We know differently.

That's the shift. That's what changes how you design. Not having all the answers. But respecting the other. Asking who this is for and who it's built on top of. Designing with communities instead of for them. That's the shift. That's the work.

"What is your vision with money?"

That question stopped me in my tracks.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Alejandra Rojas—entrepreneur, Forbes contributor, and founder of Brown Way to Money—who helps women of color overcome financial trauma and build profitable businesses.

And here's what hit me: we talk about vision boards, manifestation, business goals... but how many of us have actually asked ourselves: What is my vision WITH MONEY?

Alejandra breaks down her BROWN Framework—a system that addresses what traditional financial education completely misses: the emotional baggage, the generational conditioning, the cultural beliefs that keep us small.

🎧 The Whispers We Shared:

• Why ambition is seen as a "bad thing" for women of color (and how that triggers everything)
• The carpenter and the hammer: why you can't use financial tools if you haven't healed your relationship with money first
• How "Calladita te ves más bonita" shapes our money stories (and keeps us quiet about wealth)
• The difference between a $47 offer and your BIG VISION
• Why underpricing is a financial trauma response, not a strategy
• How owning your voice = growing your income streams
• Building a business while being a mom: the real motivation behind showing up every day

🌬️ Soulful Tools Featured:

• The BROWN Framework (Big vision, Remove trauma, Own your voice, Will the right questions, Normalize success)
• Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) for healing financial trauma
• Visualization exercises: 10x your vision until it feels uncomfortably BIG
• Writing your big vision everywhere (room, desk, LinkedIn posts)
• Neuroscience-based approaches to rewiring money beliefs

Alejandra's work isn't about budgets and spreadsheets. It's about healing the relationship between YOU and money—so you can finally build the wealth you deserve.

✨ Your space is speaking to you—are you listening?

Can you do a mini session with me?

That's what I asked Michaela during our recording.

And what she told me landed so deep—

My Leo moon needs light. Warmth. Creative space that feels alive. I've been designing this way for years without understanding why. It's just what my body & intuition knew.

My Virgo creativity wants perfection. Wants structure and rituals. Wants to control the whole process from start to finish.

But then she said this: "Creativity is divinity. You are a channel for God's divine creator energy. And while you're trying to control it, God is like, hello, let me in."

I felt that in my chest. In my throat. In the exact place where I've been holding everything so tight.

"Let yourself not finish something. Let yourself click publish without it being perfect."

My heart got lighter.

Like someone just opened a window in a room I didn't know was closed.

Sometimes you need someone to see the parts of you you're fighting, you know? To name what you've been gripping so hard your knuckles are white. To give you permission to open your hands and just create.

That's what Michaela does with her offerings. That's what I do with space.

We help you see what's already there. What's been waiting. What knows the way even when you don't.

She's saying: You can't force what wants to emerge. You can only create space for it. Trust the timing. Follow what wants to move through you. Have faith even when the path is invisible.

If you've been feeling stuck or scared or like you're waiting for permission—

This conversation will remind you that the void isn't empty.

It's where everything begins.

"I have zero regret. Of no kind."

That's what Gerardo Pérez told me on the latest Space Whispering episode. And he didn't say it from ego. He said it from someone who almost died at 20 and decided time was the only currency that mattered.

At 25, Gerardo designed a 32-story tower in Piantini—the kind of project most architects dream about their whole career. And then he walked away. Sold his car. Gave away his clothes. Became a backpacker for a year and a half.

Why? Because he knew he didn't deserve that project ‘yet’. It was luck, not mastery. And he refused to let a stroke of luck define his life.

Gerardo lives like life is temporary. Because it is. And that doesn't scare him—it frees him.

🗞️Show Notes:

The Whispers We Shared:

• • Why legacy isn't about what you build—it's about what remains when you're gone
  • The difference between pride and peace with your past
  • How a near-death experience at 20 taught him that time is the only real currency
  • Why did he quit architecture after designing a 32-story tower at 25
  • The moment he realized being a "super architect" was a trap
  • Architecture as business, not art—and why romanticizing design keeps you broke
  • How Luxia Labs grew by forgetting to be an architecture firm
  • The ego trap: why architects think they're the center of the universe (and why that's dangerous)
  • Living temporarily—and why he's okay with everything ending
  • What keeps him grounded when labels don't stick

About Guest:

Gerardo Pérez is an architect, entrepreneur, author, and professional adventurer. At 25, he closed his business, threw on a backpack, and traveled to over 20 countries—coming back with the certainty that he didn’t want a normal life. He wanted one designed by him.

Today, he’s the CEO of Luxia Labs, one of the Dominican Republic’s leading architecture firms, and a partner at Travieso Capital Partners, developing tourism and residential projects. He’s also a life coach, hosts two podcasts, and is about to publish his first novel—a raw exploration of psychology, drama, and human duality.

Gerardo lives with purpose, but never forgets the flow. He surfs, reads obsessively, loves philosophy, and says out loud what most people only dare to think in silence.

A short Musing:

Tengo muchas. Hmmm En Vietnam daba clases de inglés con un inglés nada correcto para dar clases 😅… en Venecia casi me da hipotermia… en Islandia una tormenta de nieve casí hace que perdamos el vehículo…. Así puedo seguir país por país 😂

"When people can really see you and know you, maybe they've experienced the same thing and they were hiding it too. But then when you open up about it, they're feeling safe to do so too." --Shannon Tomascak

What happens when the fear of success becomes more paralyzing than the fear of failure? When does your authentic voice feel too vulnerable to share with the world?

In this soul-stirring conversation, I connect with Shannon Tomascak, founder of Soul Flow with Shannon, a spiritual and somatic coach, workshop facilitator, and podcast host of Windows to the Soul. She blends science and spirituality to help others break free from fear, anxiety, and limiting beliefs.

The Whispers We Shared:

• How abandoning parts of ourselves keeps us stuck in old patterns
• Why combining the mystical with the practical creates lasting transformation
• The magic that happens when you meet people willing to share their authentic stories
• Why boundaries are actually personal policies that honor your values
• How traveling alone opens portals to deeper connections and self-discovery
• The entrepreneurial journey from safety to soul expression—and why we toggle between both
• How fear of success can be just as paralyzing as fear of failure
• The power of consistency in content creation to prove to yourself what's possible

Key Insight: "I see myself in every person that comes to me. I see either this was a year ago, five years ago, 10 years ago—like I've felt that. So it's so beautiful to kind of just pay it forward."

Soulful Tools Featured: NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Somatic Therapy, Movement Practice, Guided Meditation, Hypnosis, Trauma-Informed Yoga, Personal Policy Setting, Content Creation Challenges
