Episode 266: Design is Spiritual™ with Rachel Grochowski

In today's episode, I sit down with Rachael Grochowski, founder of RHG Architecture + Design, for a conversation about the deeper purpose of the spaces we inhabit. Rachael invites us to rethink design not as decoration or function alone, but as a pathway to connection, meaning, and self-discovery.

Together, we explore how the environments we create can nurture our well-being, support who we're becoming, and help us feel more grounded in our daily lives. Rachael shares:

• Three key areas of the home where intentional design can have the greatest impact

• How thoughtful details and unique objects can spark belonging and bring us closer—both to ourselves and one another

• Why design, at its core, is an invitation to slow down, notice, and feel more at home in the world

If you're curious about how your space influences your energy, attention, and sense of self, this conversation will inspire you to look at your home with new eyes. Share your takeaways with Rachael and I on Instagram @OneWade and @RHGDesign
