001: 3 Simple Tips to Kickstart Your Non-Toxic Journey Without Getting Overwhelmed

How does someone go from being clueless (and addicted to Taco Bell) to a non-toxic mommy who can read a product label in just a few short seconds? Listen to the personal journey of our host, Yasmine Moussa, as she shares her powerful, moving story of how she embraced clean living and gentle motherhood.

Growing up, Yasmine lived a mainstream life, never thinking much about her health, eating what she wanted (lots of carbs and candy), and reaching for antibiotics anytime she got sick. Back then, wellness wasn’t very mainstream. It took motherhood to provide Yasmine with the desire to change and do better.

Yasmine’s search for a better way for her family has led, over the better part of a decade, to her establishing herself as a thought leader for mothers seeking non-toxic, healthy living alternatives. 

In today’s inspiring inaugural episode, your holistic mom bestie is providing you with three tips on how you can start your non-toxic living journey. As Yasmine encourages us, it’s all about taking small actionable steps that ultimately make the hard thing easier to do. 

From asking yourself what is your ‘why?’ for making these lifestyle changes (and having difficult conversations with family and friends who maybe don’t get it), to giving yourself grace as you aim for consistency over intensity, Yasmine’s heartfelt advice will strike a chord with all mothers out there. Please join us.

 “I know what I’m doing because of where I started. And that transformation took place simply because I knew, okay, what I’ve been doing for the last ten, fifteen years isn’t going to cut it when motherhood gets involved. And so that was my impetus. It’s not about me anymore.” ~ Yasmine Moussa (The Non-Toxic Mommy)

In This Episode:

– Yasmine’s typical childhood of candy and fast food

– Understanding your ‘why’ for pursuing clean living

– How motherhood provided the impetus for Yasmine to change

– The importance of committing to healthy living for the long haul

– ‘Consistency before intensity’ – lessons from James Clear

– Giving yourself grace so that you set yourself up for success

– Why freedom and good quality of life are a birthright

– Today’s homework: drink more water

And more!
