Today my guest is Emily Wheeler who is passionate about harnessing the power of Biophilia, the innate human instinct to connect with nature and natural processes, for enhancing wellbeing in our homes and workplaces by designing beautiful comfortable spaces. 

She is a Social Worker and Interiors Stylist and Founder of Furnishing Futures, a social enterprise through which she creates homes for women and children in social housing that is otherwise provided completely empty of homely comfort.

We began by discussing the philsophy of Biophilia, what it is, how to use it and it can support us, before moving on to exploring how Emily became inspired to do the work she does, how Furnishing Futures came about and what she needs next to help her move forwards.

It is a heartwarming and inspiring conversation and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
