Take Your Power Back Thursday
Summer is now in full force which means you're likely spending more time indoors.
Which makes it the perfect time to reassess your environment.
Mostly because while you're focusing on staying cool and hydrated, we often overlook a silent danger lurking in our own homes: hidden toxins.
As I've shared previously -on my Instagram and in the podcast-, I was shocked when I first learned that the "green" cleaning products I'd been using for years were actually full of harmful chemicals!
Since then, I’ve always reminded my clients you can't always trust marketing claims or assume that "natural" means safe.
As busy parents and ambitious professionals, we tend to optimize our work environments for peak performance.
Shouldn't we do the same for our living spaces? After all, our homes should be sanctuaries where we recharge, not places that secretly deplete our energy and health.
Here are some simple yet powerful steps to detoxify your environment:
- Replace chemical air fresheners and scented candles with essential oil diffusers or open windows for natural ventilation
- Swap conventional cleaning products for truly non-toxic alternatives or simple DIY solutions like vinegar and water
- Be vigilant about "greenwashing" – always read ingredient labels, not just front-of-package claims
- Opt for organic produce when possible, especially for items on the "Dirty Dozen" list
Remember, transitioning to a non-toxic lifestyle is a journey. Don't let perfection be the enemy of progress. Start with one change this week and build from there.
Your body, mind, and career will thank you as you create a truly nurturing home environment.
Take Action
This week, I challenge you to choose one product in your home to replace with a non-toxic alternative. It could be your laundry detergent, your favorite candle, or even your shampoo. Take that first step towards a cleaner, healthier living space.
If you can’t figure out where to look for problematic items, here are a few resources:
- Get a free copy of my Kitchen Swap infographic
- Listen to Episode 136 with Warren Phillips aka @nontoxicdad: Debunking Myths About Natural and Non-Toxic Labels
- Listen to Episode 140 with Brian Johnson: The Impact of EMFs and How to Reduce Exposure at Home
