7 Days to a Non-Toxic Home
A simple guide to living cleaner, safer, and more sustainably.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to make your home safer and more sustainable, you’re not alone. Between greenwashing claims, confusing labels, and endless product recommendations, it can feel like you need a degree just to pick a dish soap.
That’s exactly why I created this 7-day series — to take the guesswork out of going non-toxic. Each day breaks things down into small, realistic steps so you can make changes that actually fit your life (not someone else’s Pinterest version of it).
This isn’t about tossing everything you own or striving for perfection — it’s about learning what really matters, so you can create a healthy home that feels calm, clean, and intentional.

Who This Series Is For
This series is for thoughtful parents, curious homemakers, and anyone ready to cut through the marketing noise and focus on what actually makes a difference for a healthy home.
You’ll learn to spot red flags, understand trusted certifications, and make smart swaps that truly benefit your family — without guilt or information overload. Because let’s face it, we’ve all been down too many rabbit holes that didn’t actually help. This series brings you back to what’s simple, real, and doable.
Before You Go
Take your time with this series — it’s not meant to be rushed. Each small change you make adds up to a home that feels calmer, safer, and more aligned with your values.
