Spring is in full swing, and time for another episode in the mini-series called Renew for Resilience. We’re talking about topics in your everyday life with the idea that if you and I consider this spring how we can renew these areas, we could boost our resilience to whatever may come our way. Because we’d be more prepared, strong, buoyant, durable, feisty, and quick to recover in this crazy, demanding world.
Many don’t realize it, but some of the things we do to make our home cozy and clean, like candles, air fresheners, and cleaners are taxing our bodies way more than ever before, contributing to fatigue, mental fog, and sleep problems. Today’s gal pal has some simple ideas to diminish the home toxins that can help boost your resilience.
To better understand how to lighten our home’s toxic load, I’ve invited my gal pal Amy Fowler to the podcast. Amy is the founder of Lamplight Living and doTerra Wellness Advocate. I’ve known Amy for several years and when we would talk, she would ask me how I’m doing and mean it. She really wanted to know! And, so often she’d respond with a practical, natural remedy to try. She was and still is a walking encyclopedia of wellness solutions, including how to lighten your toxic load.
In this episode, we talk about:
