Real conversations. Hosted by a teenager trying to understand the world she’s about to inherit. I’m Naomi Cohen, and I created Realtopia — a real estate podcast for teenagers, by a teenager. What began as a podcast about real estate evolved into conversations about something even bigger: how places shape people, and how people shape places. Because real estate was never just about buildings. It’s about the future of places — cities, housing, belonging, design, community, and the people shaping them. Each episode, I ask architects, developers, researchers, founders, and urban thinkers the questions teenagers are not supposed to ask. Welcome to Realtopia.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-22T06:18:36.698309+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/realtopia-real-estate-for-teens-6812367"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 13: Dr. Toby Israel (Founder of Design Psychology) — Decoding the Hidden Psychology of Home","slug":"episode-13-dr-toby-israel-founder-of-design-psychology-decoding-the-hidden-psychology-of-home","published_at":"2026-06-08T20:24:48+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/realtopia-real-estate-for-teens-6812367/episode-13-dr-toby-israel-founder-of-design-psychology-decoding-the-hidden-psychology-of-home","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/realtopia-real-estate-for-teens-6812367","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-13-dr-toby-israel-founder-of-design-psychology-decoding-the-hidden-psychology-of-home--72424200","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72424200/episode_13_toby_israel.mp3","summary":"Why do some spaces instantly feel right — while others never quite do? In this episode of Realtopia, Naomi sits down with Dr. Toby Israel — environmental psychologist, founder of Design Psychology, and author of Some Place Like Home and Designing Women's Lives — to explore how our earliest experiences of place quietly shape the homes we choose, the spaces we create, and even what makes us feel like we belong. Together, they unpack the idea of an environmental autobiography: the hidden story of childhood places, family environments, and memories that can still influence our design choices decades later. Instead of asking what makes a place beautiful, this conversation asks a different question: what makes a place feel like yours? In this episode: What Design Psychology is — and why psychology can become the primary design tool Environmental autobiography and the idea of an environmental family tree Why people often recreate — or reject — the homes they grew up in How unconscious place memories shape layouts, colors, and objects Whether Pinterest, algorithms, and AI are disconnecting us from real preferences How renters can still personalize temporary spaces What traditional “belonging” metrics may miss about emotional experience of place Why two people can experience the exact same place completely differently","meta_description":"Why do some spaces instantly feel right — while others never quite do?
