Most New Year health advice focuses on diet and exercise - but everyday environmental exposures also impact your wellbeing. From the products we use to the air we breathe, small daily exposures add up over time.

The good news? Some of the most impactful changes are simple and easy to implement. Learn how to create a healthier, less overwhelming environment with the Everyday Reset course.

This week I returned to the Good Day Sacramento set for the first time on camera in a long time. It’s where I once interned and worked for several years, so being back brought a wave of familiar memories. I shared simple non-toxic living tips for creating a healthier home and even got to be interviewed by my friend Courtney, now an anchor on the show. It was a sweet full-circle moment that blended old memories with the work I love doing today.

Anyone else visualize their business as a puzzle? Like an actual puzzle you spread across the table and build piece by piece?

That’s exactly what inspired my latest blog post for The Prosper Network — because entrepreneurship often feels the same way. You start with the edges, sort through the middle, and slowly watch the picture come together.

If you’re in the middle of building your puzzle, I hope this piece gives you a little clarity (and a reminder that you're not doing it alone).

And if you’re looking for a place to share the puzzle that is your business, come join us inside The Prosper Network. It’s where so many of us are finding our missing pieces.

October is full of pink ribbon products claiming to support breast cancer awareness, but not all are as safe as they seem.

This practice, known as pinkwashing, occurs when brands market products with pink ribbons while including ingredients linked to hormone disruption or cancer. Awareness is important, but informed choices matter more.

By reading labels, supporting transparent brands like Counter and Crunchi, and donating directly to impact-driven organizations, we can make October - and every month -about real prevention and meaningful change, not just pink packaging.

Taking various supplements seems to be all the rage these days - but they safe for everyone? I’m sharing what I’ve learned as a breast cancer survivor navigating mixed advice.

Sending kids off to college this fall meant stepping into the empty nest stage and lots of dorm room prep. From bedding and storage to shampoo and body lotion, I tried to find safer options where I could. The truth is, it wasn’t perfect. Some products were too expensive, others weren’t available in stores, and labels were often confusing. But I’ve learned that progress over perfection is what really matters. Everyday exposures to chemicals like phthalates, PFAS, and BPA add up over time, which is why even small swaps toward safer products can make a big difference. My goal has never been perfection - it’s helping families make steady, sustainable shifts that truly support long-term health.

This summer, I had the chance to read an early copy of Cleaning House by Lindsay Dahl—a powerful, eye-opening book about the toxic chemicals hidden in everyday products and the broken systems that allow them. Lindsay combines personal stories, science, and policy insight to show why safer products shouldn't be a luxury. Cleaning House launches August 5th—don’t miss it!

Most of us assume the products we use every day - like shampoo, makeup, or cleaning sprays, have been tested for safety. But in the U.S., outdated and inadequate laws mean thousands of chemicals are still on the market without proper testing. In this post, I break down the gaps in our chemical regulations and why consumers are still left to figure it out on their own.

July is UV Awareness Month, and while most of us think of sunburns when we hear about UV rays, the damage goes much deeper.

UV exposure can harm your skin’s DNA, speed up aging, break down collagen, and even weaken your skin’s immune defenses, all of which increase your risk for skin cancer. The bottom line: protecting your skin matters!

Use shade, hats, UPF clothing, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. And no - sunscreen doesn’t cause cancer. The best kind is the one you’ll actually wear even if it isn’t the safest option.

Have you ever trusted a product labeled “chemical-free” or “natural,” thinking it was the safer choice? I’ve been there too. The truth is, there’s no such thing as a chemical-free product and many personal care items marketed as “clean” still contain ingredients linked to health concerns.

In my latest blog post, I break down what “clean beauty” really means, the marketing tactics like greenwashing and cleanwashing that brands use, and the common ingredients to watch out for. I also share how this realization sparked my own journey into non-toxic living and how you can take simple steps toward a healthier home.

When we talk about how your environment impacts your health, it's about more than just pollution or chemicals - it's your entire lifestyle. Everything from what you eat and how you sleep to your stress levels, movement, and exposure to toxins plays a role in your well-being. In fact, research shows that up to 80% of chronic disease risk is linked to modifiable lifestyle and environmental factors. The good news? You don’t need a complete overhaul to see results. Simple, consistent habits - like eating whole foods, sleeping well, moving your body, and reducing exposure to plastics and synthetic fragrances - can make a meaningful difference over time. It’s not about perfection, but about making small choices that support your health every day.

With triple-digit temperatures already making an appearance and summer just around the corner, it's a great time to focus on sun protection. While sunshine has its perks, too much exposure can take a toll on your skin - especially during the hottest months of the year. In this post, we’ll cover simple, effective ways to enjoy the sun safely and keep your skin healthy all season long.
