042: Green Cleaning Made Easy

Identifying the 3 most toxic cleaning products in our homes, then replacing them with easy swaps.

“It’s a common misconception that the government is very carefully regulating everything that’s out there. They really aren’t.”

It’s high-time we safeguard our families from harmful products assumed to be safe.

As a bonus? Doing so declutters the spaces under our sinks + rids our homes of excess plastic, too.

My guest this week is Micaela Preston. She’s a concerned mom + author who has spent the last 12 years researching the risks associated with common household items.

When it comes to our go-to cleaning products, Micaela’s here to give us a collective wake-up call.

On today’s episode, Micaela identifies the 3 most toxic cleaning products in our homes; she offers easy-peasy swaps for absolutely everyone, too.

Enjoy!

Unhappy? You're Normal

Cultural messaging and suggests you should be happy all the time. But your "happy chemicals"—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin—evolved to motivate survival behavior, not make you happy.

In fact, unhappiness is your brain's default state.

On today's show Dr. Loretta Breuning argues that you can manage your happy chemicals when you know how they work in the state of nature, and she's here to show us how.

Here's a preview:

[9:00] Serotonin is about social dominance. Enter comparison and competition

[13:00] Want a dose of oxytocin? Be part of a herd

[15:30] Endorphin is the brain's natural opioid. But you can habituate to it!

[18:00] Just got something you want? That flood of happiness is dopamine's doing, but dopamine runs out

[25:00] We are living in an era of immense abundance. So why aren't we happy?
