    Toxin-Free Living: Home Edition

    Toxin-Free Living: Home Edition

    Listen as we speak with Megan Mikkelsen from Detox by Design about decreasing the toxins in our homes and the little steps we can take to improve our health. Some examples of questions we will dive into are:
    Why should we think about the products we bring into the home?
    Why can't we trust marketing claims?
    What ingredients should we look out for?
    What is greenwashing and how to spot it.
     
    A little about Megan:
    “Health, the environment, and creating beauty in interiors have been my top interests since I was a teen. I went on to get my Masters of Public Health, had a 15+ year career in health education and made a mid-life switch to interior design. The blend of creating beautiful, happy, AND healthy homes is where my true passion lies.
    When I become a mom, I dove head first into making our home healthier. I wanted to create a healthy and happy home for our family. Raising my daughters in an environment with minimal toxins - that’s the crux of my “why”. We live in a word of too much knowledge and it can be completely overwhelming to decipher what is truly healthy and green. At the same time we want to create comfortable and beautiful spaces at home. That’s why I created Detox by Design - to share toxin-free living strategies, providing the knowledge you need to make safer choices for your family while creating a beautiful home at the same time.
    I share tips on how to easily and quickly detox and create beauty at home through my podcast Toxin-Free Talk. I also share tips in my Facebook group, Toxin-Free Talk, and on Instagram. I also share weekly tips in my email newsletter.”

    Homesteading and Gardening feat. Jason Contreras from Sow the Land

    Homesteading and Gardening feat. Jason Contreras from Sow the Land

    Today we are talking to Jason Contreras from Sow the Land. We are talking about all things homesteading, growing your own food, having animals, and the changes in life when moving from Southern California to the mountains of North Carolina. 
     
    A little about Jason and Sow the Land
    Jason and his family document homestead life on their Sow the Land Youtube channel. In 2016 they sold most of their belongings and left the city in Los Angeles to start a small homestead in the mountains of North Carolina. They became passionate about growing their own food after Jason became diagnosed with cancer in 2010. Now in remission, they are on a journey to grow their own food and work together as a family.
    As they grow and learn new things they enjoy sharing the journey in hopes to inspire others. 
    Jason is the jack of all trades taking care of the farm animals, building structures and striving to create the most efficient homestead.
