## Resource

Your environment is affecting you more than you realize... In today’s episode of Hot & Unbothered, your host Brianna Gomez breaks down what it means to create your own “happy place— not by completely changing your life or having the perfect Pinterest-worthy home, but by intentionally shaping the spaces you already live in. From the psychology of our surroundings and how environmental cues can influence our habits and attention, tune in for practical ways to make your environment work for YOU— whether you live on your own, with roommates, in a dorm, or in your childhood bedroom you hold the power to build little cues of joy, and turn even one corner of your space into somewhere you genuinely love being. Reminder that your home should be more than just something that looks pretty, and you don't need a new apartment, a new city, or a completely different life to start feeling differently in the life you already have. 🤍 Start with the little world immediately around you. 🕊️ ☆ Shop my apartment with Hernest:  - Nori 90" Sofa Harbor Mist Cotton (SKU9554) - Woodie 21" Old Elm Side Table (SKU9650) - Flute Ceramic Dinnerware (Set of 12) (SKU9186) - Ashen Ceramic Dinnerware (Set of 16) (SKU9199) Shop Bri's faith necklace HERE & apply code BRI10 for $$ off.⁠⁠ ★ Shop my Becoming Her Planner on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for the girlies who are committed to leveling up with intention. ☆ Shop Bri's Faith Pearl necklace (code BRI10 for $ off)! ★ Join our Hot & Unbothered besties⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ groupchat to hold each other accountable!
