Welcome to the premiere of the Conscious Home Podcast! I’m Blanche Garcia, your host, and I’m ready to take you on an introspective journey down memory lane, a journey that’s raw, heartfelt and unapologetically personal. This is where we pull back the curtain on the chaotic, yet transformative journey that gave birth to Conscious Home.
This episode is nothing short of personal—a candid conversation. It’s about grounding, which I learnt the importance of, in the most unexpected of places, the psych ward during the 2020 pandemic. It was like a water spout that I could not control—the information coming in and out. There I was trying to find my feet again, digging deep to reconnect with the essence of who Blanche truly was—beyond the patient, beyond the diagnosis.
While the medical field tried to address the what, I needed to understand the why. It was in unpacking this journey that Conscious Home truly began to take shape. I realized that the systems that I had set up to support my mind, body, and soul were not just optional-they were in fact conditional to my well-being and happiness. I started using these lessons, coupled with my interior design expertise, to create a reality not just for me, but for everyone who allows me into their homes and lives.
This period of my life led me to create six archetypes, tools that helped me rediscover alignment and balance. In the solitude of my own thoughts, while piecing together my fragmented self, I began recording the essence of these archetypes. It was these elements that would not only provide a roadmap back to myself but also lay the groundwork for a life both abundant and whole. And so, Conscious Home was born. It’s more than a brand—it’s a way of empowering you to become the changing force of your own life. We believe that everyone has the ability to shape their destinies, and Conscious Home is here to help guide that process.
My journey wasn’t always easy. It was filled with hardships and dark moments, but also flashes of understanding and growth. Despite everything, I wouldn’t change a thing about my journey. It’s made me who I am today. Conscious Home represents this transformation. It’s your invitation to start your own journey of self-discovery and authenticity. Every day is a reminder of this crucial work and the person I’ve become through it.
