042: Green Cleaning Made Easy

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!

Beyond the Beige

We’ve all seen the images. The stark white rooms, the single designer chair, the perfectly curated capsule wardrobe. We’re told that if we just clear the clutter, we’ll find peace. 

But if we’re not careful, the minimalist aesthetic can become just another thing to buy, another thing to consume. 

On today’s show, Melora Johnson deconstructs the modern minimalist movement so that each of us can move from the clutter-free, beige-everything  minimalist aesthetic to a deeper, more sustainable practice rooted in intentionality.

Here’s a preview:
