Prioritize and Let Things Go: Encouraging mothers to prioritize tasks, say no more often, and be selective about opportunities. The emphasis is on understanding that not everything has to be done, and letting go of non-essential tasks can absolutely lighten the mental load. 2. Focus on Delegation within Your Family: Discussing the importance of involving family members, including children and spouses, in household responsibilities. Delegating tasks and allowing others to contribute fosters a sense of teamwork and shared responsibility. 3. Create Organizational Systems: Highlighting the power of having structured systems in place, such as family calendars, written plans, and daily routines. These systems reduce the mental effort required for day-to-day tasks, making it easier to manage responsibilities. 4. Embrace Technology: Leveraging technology to simplify tasks, from grocery shopping apps to budgeting tools. The use of technology is presented as a way to streamline processes and reduce the need for manual effort. 5. Get Support: Recommends seeking help when needed, whether through hiring services like housekeepers or delegating specific responsibilities to others. Emphasizes that support can significantly alleviate the mental load. 6. Prioritize Self-Care and Time Management: Encourages mothers to include themselves in their priorities, practicing self-care and effective time management. Acknowledging that taking care of oneself positively impacts the ability to handle daily responsibilities with enthusiasm and energy. Your challenge today is to start with one of these tasks.

    016: The Best Non-Toxic Toy Brands: Are Your Child’s Toys Safe?

    ons/all-products Learning about the world of non-toxic toys is especially important for young children's developing bodies. Toxic chemicals can harm brain and organ development, so you need to understand which common chemicals to avoid in toys and what some safer alternatives are.  In the latest episode of The Non-Toxic Mommy Podcast, Yasmine explains why we need to be careful about chemicals in toys, especially for babies. Their developing bodies are more sensitive!  Yasmine explains everything about nasty toxins, from BPA to flame retardants. And how about those light-up toys keeping the baby awake? Not a good idea. Luckily, there are safer materials. Wood is excellent, and organic cotton is perfect for stuffies, too. Silicone and natural rubber toys can work in a pinch. The best part is you don't need to toss everything overnight. Just slowly replace toys with quality wooden and natural items. Fewer toys means more focused play! This episode will nudge you in the right direction. Your kids will thank you later for making safer choices now.  “I think it's so wonderful that you are here with me, learning about the importance of non-toxic toys, thinking about this while your kids are little because this is when we can make that change. This is when we can really impact their future development just by helping them avoid some of the lore of, like, mainstream toys."  ~ Yasmine Moussa In This Episode: - Why does buying non-toxic toys matter? - The truth about mainstream toys - Are light-up toys safe?  - Chemicals and materials to avoid - Safer materials for children’s toys - Recommended toy brands Resources: Guide to the safest toy brands for babies - https://www.gentlenursery.com/play-learn/non-toxic-baby-toys/  Non-toxic gift guides - https://www.gentlenursery.com/category/gifts/  Connect with Yasmine Moussa:  The Gentle Nursery Website - https://www.gentlenursery.com/ Join Non-Toxic Mommies FB Group - https://web.facebook.com/groups/nontoxicmommies Follow Yasmine on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thegentlenursery Shop Biomeology & Save - https://biomeology.co/collecti

    011: Easy Ways to Detox - Part 1

    Some people believe that you cannot detox your body, that it will just clean itself, and that you can't do anything to assist in the process. This is one belief system about detoxification. On the other hand, you may have heard the term "detox" being thrown around. It usually comes associated with a juice cleanse or something similar. In today's episode, Yasmine will offer you a fresh perspective. Your favorite Non-Toxic Mommy truly believes detoxing isn't a quick fix but a lifestyle, a holistic way of supporting your body's natural cleansing mechanisms. In this episode, Yasmine offers a treasure of healthy practices designed to nurture your body's inherent detox systems. And here's the catch: it's not just about sipping green juices or fasting. It's about weaving detox into your daily life. This episode isn't a rigid detox plan. Instead, it's a collection of conscious lifestyle tips. It's about embracing mindful nutrition, integrating movement, and connecting with nature to feel supported. So, if you're curious about nurturing your body's natural detoxing abilities without extreme measures, this episode is your guide. Dive in and discover the art of detoxing as a sustainable, holistic journey. “At its core, detoxing is really about giving the blood a good thorough cleanse. Think about it like this - The liver is your personal filtration system. It seeps out impurities, it processes them from the blood to help prepare them for elimination. But even the liver needs a little bit of help sometimes." - Yasmine Moussa In This Episode: - Different belief systems about detoxing - What is detoxing?  - Natural tips for detoxing your body - The importance of bio-individuality  - Where can you start your detoxing journey?
