Your space is not neutral. It is either building you or working against you quietly — and most people have never stopped to ask which one. Space and Behavior explores the science of how your environment shapes your nervous system, your decisions, your relationships, and who you are becoming. Hosted by Liisa Niglas — space and behavior expert, co-founder of Enéo — each episode translates environmental psychology, neuroaesthetics, and behavioral science into real, practical changes you can make today. Changes you can start to imply today!

    Is your home working FOR you?

    This episode is like a fireside chat of my trip to Ibiza and the realizations I had there. In the end I encourage you to make a list of your home and really see out the details that are either holding you back, working against you or just outdated in your life. Enjoy!

    The colors in your office are costing you more than you think

    You chose your office colors because you liked them. But your nervous system has been responding to them in ways you never intended — and probably haven't noticed. In this episode we go deep into color psychology and what it actually means for a workspace. The true biological reality of what specific colors do to your focus, your energy, your decision-making, and your ability to finish a workday with something left in the tank. We cover walls, rugs, desk objects, artwork, and even your document folders. Because color is working on you at every level — and once you understand how, you will never look at your office the same way again.

    What nobody tells moms about their home

    You love your life. You love your children. And yet by 5pm you are completely empty and you don't fully understand why. This episode is about what's actually happening — inside your body and inside your home. Because a mother's nervous system is wired differently than most people realize. And when the home environment isn't supporting that, the drain is invisible but very real. We talk about the science, the mechanism, and five small things that genuinely help. This is the conversation I started on television last week — and everything I didn't have time to say there.

    Beautiful is not enough: what most developers and designers still get wrong

    Have you ever walked into your own home and felt a low hum of something not quite right — even though nothing is obviously wrong? In this episode, I take you inside a real client's project: a brand new apartment, a talented interior designer, and a vision for a truly wholesome home. What we discovered when we started working changed everything. From a desk placement that was quietly putting a child's nervous system on alert, to a closet that didn't fit real hangers, to a bathroom with nowhere to store anything — this episode is about the gap between how a home looks and how a home actually feels to live in every single day. I talk about why so many beautiful spaces still fail the people inside them, what feng shui and functional design reveal that most developers and designers aren't yet trained to see, and what it means for your own home. If you have ever adapted to a space and forgotten you were adapting, this one is for you.

    I gave myself calm mornings for a week. This is what changed.

    For the past week I’ve been experimenting with something. I've given myself slow, intentional mornings to regulate my nervous system before starting the day. In this episode I share what I noticed physically, emotionally and mentally and why understanding the nervous system can change the way we approach growth, success and everyday decisions. We talk about why the body often resists change, how familiar patterns can feel safer than new opportunities and why real transformation becomes easier when we first create internal stability. I also share practical journaling prompts and small morning practices that can help reduce overwhelm, increase clarity and build capacity for a bigger life. If you’ve been feeling stuck, reactive or constantly under pressure, this episode offers a grounded and realistic perspective on how to start shifting from the inside out.

    Work mode vs rest mode: the missing key to productivity at home

    Working from home can feel like freedom — but for many people it slowly turns into mental overload, lack of boundaries and constant low-level stress. In this episode, I share my personal journey from chaotic kitchen-table workdays to creating spaces that truly support focus, creativity and recovery. You will learn how your environment directly influences your nervous system, productivity and even self-confidence. We talk about practical tools you can start using today:– creating a dedicated workspace (even in a small home)– using scent, light and sound to anchor different mental states– “pseudo-commuting” rituals that help your brain switch into work mode– setting digital boundaries to avoid burnout– simple evening reset systems that allow real rest This episode combines feng shui wisdom, environmental psychology and real-life experience — so you can design a home that works for you, not against you.

    Welcome to a new era

    For months, this podcast has lived in Estonian. Today, I’m stepping into a new room.Just like a space can energise or drain us, language carries its own atmosphere. Speaking English feels like entering a new environment — and growth often begins when we allow ourselves to step into new rooms.I have so exciting collaborations on the way so this podcast need to grow beyond borders and my message to get to more people. So thankful you are on this journey with me!Welcome to my new room.
