Welcome on into The Edit. In this episode, Feng Shui expert and author Jane Langof gently dismantles everything you think you know about “just moving the sofa” and explains how your floor plan, front door and even your bedside table are quietly shaping your mood, money and sleep. Alongside editor Elle Lovelock, Jane demystifies all the talk about 'coffin‑position' beds and mirrors that bounce your energy straight back out the door, explains why skylights in bedrooms are a hard no, and how to fix classic “bad chi” layouts with rugs, lighting, artwork and a bit of clever buffering - rather than a full rebuild.
You’ll hear Jane bust the most viral TikTok myths (no, leaving the toilet lid up is not flushing your wealth away; yes, clutter is public enemy number one), walk through what to do if you’ve moved into a “divorce house” or a place with heavy history, and share simple rituals to clear energy from saging to gratitude journaling... without buying a single crystal lion. She also lets us into her own gloriously human side: messy teen bedrooms, laundry on the floor, her international karaoke ribbon and the netball obsession she took up at 40, all in service of what she calls a “Feng Shui lifestyle” - one that’s as much about the people and habits you invite in as the cushions on your couch.
