Informative and eye-opening!

I enjoyed listening to episode 68 on low-tox living. In this interview with Elyse, I learned so much about what low-tox means and how to get started moving towards building a less toxic chemical environment through small gradual steps. It was eye-opening and empowering and I will definitely be putting some of these tips into action! ~ Anna
