    In this episode of Healthy Habits for a Healthier Home, Robin sits down with Jodi Scott, co-founder of Green Goo, to explore the powerful connection between skin health and overall wellness. With a background in pre-med studies and a master’s degree in health psychology, Jodi shares how her family’s tradition of crafting herbal salves evolved into a trusted plant-based first aid and skincare company rooted in both traditional plant medicine and modern science. Together, they unpack why the skin is more than just a surface barrier — it’s an active communicator between the nervous, immune, and hormonal systems. This conversation dives into ingredient transparency, reducing toxic load, supporting the body naturally, and how small daily shifts can create lasting health transformation. ✨ Key TakeawaysSkin health directly impacts nervous, immune, and hormonal balanceWhat you put on your body matters just as much as what you put in itPlant-based ingredients can effectively support healing and repairTransparency in skincare builds consumer trustLess ingredients — done well — often work betterTraditional herbal wisdom still has powerful relevance todayMindfulness and self-care are foundational to wellnessHolistic health recognizes the body as an interconnected systemNatural first aid solutions can reduce unnecessary chemical exposureSmall 1% shifts lead to meaningful long-term change ⏱️ Chapters00:00 Introduction to Jodi and Her Journey 02:53 The Birth of Green Goo: A Family Venture 05:49 The Connection Between Skin and Whole-Body Health 09:10 Understanding Ingredients: The Good and the Harmful 12:02 The Science Behind Skin Repair and Healing 14:55 Why Holistic Health Matters 18:10 The Power of Plant-Based Ingredients 20:57 The Versatility of Green Goo Products 23:45 Natural Product Pricing & Value 27:08 Integrity in Business and Formulation 28:34 Eczema Struggles and Root Solutions 30:00 Supporting Skin Repair Naturally 32:50 Holistic Approaches to Pain Relief 34:41 Reducing Chemical Exposure 36:37 Ancient Plant Wisdom Meets Modern Science 40:56 The 1% Transformation Mindset 50:55 Daily Non-Negotiables for a Healthy Life Where to Find Jodi & Green Goo🌱 Website: https://www.greengoo.com/ 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/greengoohelps/ 👍 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GreenGooHelps 💼 LinkedIn: a...

Mona shares her journey from a demanding corporate career to creating small-batch, non-toxic cleaning products rooted in intention, quality, and care.

    S9 E123 Mamas as Advocates: Informed Consent & Medical Freedom

    Summary If you’re a mom who has ever felt uneasy making medical decisions for your child… questioned whether you were truly given all the information… or felt pressure to comply instead of being empowered — this episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with Nurse Nicole, a longtime acute care bedside nurse who courageously shares what most parents never get to hear from inside the hospital system. Nicole opens up about informed consent, bodily sovereignty, and why medical freedom is not about being “anti” anything — it’s about protecting your right to choose what is best for you and your child. We talk about the real-world consequences of medical decisions made without full transparency, the emotional weight parents carry when advocating for their kids, and why trusting your intuition as a parent matters more than ever. Nicole also sheds light on the pressures inside healthcare and what parents deserve to know when navigating medical care for their families. This episode is empowering, eye-opening, and a reminder that you are your child’s best advocate — and you don’t need permission to ask questions, pause, or say no. Key TakeawaysInformed consent is foundational — it’s not political, it’s ethical healthcareBodily sovereignty matters for every person, regardless of beliefsThere is a very real stigma faced by unvaxed or partially unvaxed healthcare workers that often goes unseenYou can stand firm in your convictions and still lead with compassionGrassroots advocacy is changing the conversation around medical freedomCourage doesn’t always look loud — sometimes it’s simply refusing to back down Episode Chapters 00:00 Welcome & Episode Introduction02:10 Nicole’s Nursing Background & Hospital Experience06:45 Being an “Unvaxed” Nurse in the Healthcare System14:30 Informed Consent & Bodily Sovereignty Explained22:10 Religious Rights & Standing Firm in Conviction30:05 Discrimination in Healthcare & Why It Matters38:20 Grassroots Advocacy & Legislative Involvement45:50 Holding Compassion in a Broken System52:10 Final Thoughts & Encouragement Stay Connected with Robin📸 Instagram: @livelifebalancedwithrobin 📩Substack: a href="https://substack.com/@livelifebalancedwithrobin" rel="noopener...

    S9 E121 Raw & Real: Women’s Health, HRT Updates & Food Advocacy Insights

    In this episode of Healthy Habits for a Healthier Home, Robin gets real about the big shifts happening in women’s health and the food world. We dive into the FDA’s major update on Hormone Replacement Therapy, the new conversations opening up for women in peri and menopause, and why lifestyle still leads the way. We also unpack the changes happening in the food industry — from dye-free Doritos and Cheetos to what this reveals about consumer advocacy. And yes, we talk about school lunches, food dyes, and how the food pyramid is changing (finally). This is an invitation to stay informed, stay curious, and keep using your voice. Because when we speak up as a community, things change — and they change fast. 📌 TakeawaysThe FDA officially removed the black box warning from HRT — a major moment in women’s health.Study that created fear around hormones was deeply flawed and has since been debunked.HRT works best when started in perimenopause or early menopause, using bioidentical hormones.The M Factor documentary is a must-watch for understanding women’s hormones and midlife health.Synthetic food dyes have zero nutritional value and can impact behavior, attention, and mood.PepsiCo and other major brands are beginning to remove dyes — proof that consumer pressure works.The old food pyramid was shaped by industry, not by what the body actually needs.Changing the food pyramid influences school lunch policy and children’s nutrition.Reading ingredients is one of the most powerful things you can do for your home.Community, education, and shared advocacy create real change for our families. ⏱️ Chapters00:00 — Introduction to Women’s Health & HRT Why the FDA change matters, what the updated research really shows, and how women can finally have informed conversations with their providers. 09:20 — The Impact of Food Dyes in School Lunches What’s changing in the food industry, what’s still marketing, and how to stay empowered as a label-reader. 20:13 — Revising the Food Pyramid for Better Nutrition Why the old pyramid was upside down, how policy shapes school lunches, and the shift toward whole-food guidance. 28:40 — Closing Thoughts & Staying Empowered Your reminder that awareness + community = powerful, lasting change. 🎧 Additional Episodes MentionedS7E91 Navigating Lipedema, Inflammation & Manufacturing a yummy snack with Siouxie https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s7-e91-navigating-lipedema-inflammation-manufacturing/id1687175600?i=1000691402064 S2E15 — Transforming Your Wellness Through Food with Loverbird Cereal https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s2e15-transforming-your-wellness-through-food-with/id1687175600?i=1000629369166 📚 Resources MentionedBooks How to Menopause —a...
