Sustainability is a middle class movement: creating sustainable interior spaces with Victoria Meale

Hello and welcome back to state of mind. I’m grace Kingswell and this is my series all about health, wellness and conscious living - both from a planetary and from a health perspective.
 
Today I’m talking to Victoria Meale. Victoria is a sustainable interior designer and this episode starts with our discussion of what that actually means and how she goes about designing a space that’s built to last whilst focusing on using materials that don’t pollute our homes or release toxins into the air we breath.
 
Then the conversation shifts towards her and the way she lives her life. Victoria has a lot of insight to share on living consciously, especially with regards to how she’s bringing up her son, and she is a firm believer of needing to find acceptance of the ways that others choose to live their lives, which I think is an important concept because it’s all to easy to get on your high horse and start being preachy when it comes to 'sustainability.'
 
We talk about how she lives in tune with the sun, not using any blinds or curtains at home, how her, her partner and her son all co-sleep and how she deals with the judgement she feels from other mothers or people around her who disagree with the way she’s doing things.
