That Feeling

How do you find yourself in a soulless place, where everything is generic? Where you cannot relate to anything. Where you don’t have a sense of belonging. 

 

We know we should be careful about the people we surround ourselves with…  But what about our physical environment? 

 

What messaging are the walls giving you? What about your furniture and decor? If these things can give us messages that limit our growth, what can we do to change these messages? 

 

We can change the messaging in our environment to skyrocket our growth, but would it work if we brought these limiting messages with us? Where does it all start? With us or with the environment?

 

What is that sense of disconnect silently following you around, then screaming at you when you are in a situation where it’s so obvious you don’t belong? 

 

Maybe it’s because you have been separated from home. I had that even in my own country, and later realised it’s because I’m a Third Culture Kid. (TCK)

How do you find yourself in a soulless place?

Moreover, TCKs and immigrants sometimes struggle with the question, “Where are you from?” Because the countries we should call home are more relatable when they are called passport countries. We’ve lost our sense of connection with places we should call home.

 

It’s a question that is brought up because of the way you look, the way you speak, or if you are a hidden immigrant, it’s your behavior. It’s a question that makes it obvious you’re not one of them.

 

But this is not just about being separated from home. Feeling out of place even in our homes is a story for many BIPOC born in their country.

 

And honestly, being forced to move is not something that happened long ago because of colonizers. Every day people are forced to move because the rent went up, because they want their kids to have a better education, because no matter how hard they work they are still poor, etc.

 

And then what are the effects? You go to work or out in your new communities, and you have to put on an act, whether it’s because you have to “be professional” or for other reasons.

 

And for some of us, we come home and it’s another act, always being outside of ourselves. Because that’s how parents, spouses, whatever the role, are supposed to behave.

 

But it is now time to gently hug yourself and create that sense of belonging at least in our homes. It’s time to create a place that nurtures us and helps our true selves thrive. It is time to pass down generational joy instead of trauma!

What We Do

Simply put, we design for success and wellness while we counter colonialism.

 

Colonization Today

Colonization is still present, operating without a clear leader. At its core, colonialism divides, controls, and exploits. Colonialism enforces standards of conduct to control people under the guise of being “better” or more “civilized.”

 

Colonialism in the Workspace

 

1. Rigid Hierarchies

2. Unrealistic Productivity Demands

3. Competition Over Collaboration

4. Marginalization of Different Cultures

5. Enforced “Professionalism”

6. Time-Orientation Over Process and Joy

 

Colonialism in the Home

 

1. Media and Material Goods

2. Internalized Oppression

3. Work-Life Balance and Family Time

4. Erosion of Cultural Practices & Traditions

5. Suppression of Indigenous Languages

6. Introduction of Non-Traditional Foods

Unite

Liberate

Nurture

Decolonization Today

 

Decolonizing seeks to unite, liberate, and nurture. Decolonization occurs when standards of conduct are relaxed or disregarded to empower and nurture people, being more accommodating or compassionate.

 

Decolonizing the Workspace

 

1. Foster Collaboration

2. Prioritize Well-Being

3. Design Inclusive Spaces

4. Egalitarian Structures

5. Cultural Competency Training

6. De-emphasize Results

 

Decolonizing the Home

 

1. Curate Diverse Media

2. Value Traditional Knowledge

3. Promote Equality

4. Preserve Food Practices

5. Use Traditional Materials

6. Revive Indigenous Languages

Yvette Oloo

Hello and Welcome.
I am Yvette Oloo.

I am an international bestselling author and a soulpreneur who is helping others grow their soul. I graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree and worked in Architecture for some time, where I fell in love with environmental psychology. I then became a self-taught life coach who continues to take courses and certifications that interest me. I was inspired by my Feng Shui practitioner course to become a Space Transformation Coach since the rituals and practices that influence chi require a mindset shift.

I’m on a passionate quest to live a life filled with joy and purpose, all while inspiring others to do the same. Joy can be simple like my love for the colour blue or how the simple pleasure of watching a mesmerizing sunset brings me immense joy. I believe in embracing the fun moments and embarking on exciting adventures, as life is too short to be anything but extraordinary.

Not only do I have a Bachelor of Architecture degree, but I also have certifications in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Trauma of Money, Certified Addictions Recovery Coach (CARC), and a diploma in Feng Shui. My diverse qualifications underpin my unique approach to space transformation.

Drawing from my extensive knowledge in environmental psychology and trauma-informed design, I specialize in growing the soul, and designing inspired spaces to nurture our lives and bring us wellness: Life & Spaces

My Whole Wellness Method integrates personalized guidance, mindful living practices, and inclusive design to create supportive environments that nurture physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By addressing the unique needs of each individual, I ensure meaningful and lasting change that goes beyond improving spaces.

My expertise in personalized guidance involves tailoring advice and strategies that resonate with each person’s specific needs and goals, fostering personal and professional growth.

Through mindful living practices, I encourage people to incorporate mindfulness into their daily routines, enhancing awareness, inner peace, and balance, which translates into sacred spaces that align with our identity. 

As a BIPOC and immigrant, I brings a rich multicultural perspective to my work, emphasizing the importance of decolonizing spaces and promoting inclusivity in all my projects. My personal journey, marked by overcoming challenges including domestic violence and divorce, has deepened my understanding of trauma-informed design and the transformative power of nurturing spaces.

My passion for creating environments that support holistic wellness is matched by my dedication to joyful living. I believe in helping others not just improve their environments but also lead lives filled with joy, balance, and authentic self-expression. This passion is evident in my work, making me an unparalleled speaker and consultant in the field of home and workplace transformation.
