    The Plastic Detox & Petrochemicals in the Community with Shamell Lavigne

    What happens when plastic pollution goes beyond products— and into our bodies? In The Plastic Detox, we uncover the devastating human impact of petrochemical exposure, from contaminated air to toxins found in our bloodstreams. This conversation shines a light on communities living on the frontlines of environmental injustice, where the cost of plastic production is measured in human health. Along Louisiana’s infamous Cancer Alley, residents face significantly higher risks of cancer and serious illness due to the dense concentration of refineries and chemical plants. In places like St. James Parish, families are forced to grapple with generational health challenges, land loss, and the harsh reality of being told their lives are the price of economic development. This episode highlights the inspiring work of activist Sharon Lavigne, founder of RISE St. James, a grassroots movement fighting to protect communities from petrochemical expansion. We’re joined by Shamell Lavigne, who shares firsthand insights into the ongoing battle for clean air, water, and land. 👉 In this video, we discuss: - The true human cost of plastic and petrochemical production - Why “Cancer Alley” has become a public health crisis - Environmental racism and its impact on local communities - The fight to protect land, air, and water in Louisiana - How grassroots organizations are driving change Learn more about RISE St. James: https://risestjames.org/ Get tested for BPA, phthalates, parabens, and other hormone-disrupting chemicals with Million Marker's Test Kit: https://www.millionmarker.com/

    Why Midwifery Is So Beneficial for Pregnancy with Catalina Clark

    What if the missing ingredient for your healthiest, most supported pregnancy isn’t another test or appointment? If you’ve ever wondered what your pregnancy truly needs—physically, emotionally, and even spiritually, midwifery might be the answer. Midwifery is one of the oldest and most trusted forms of care, rooted in empathy, connection, and whole-body support. For centuries, midwives were the natural choice for guiding people through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. But over time, this practice fell out of the mainstream as hospital-centered care took over. Now, midwifery is experiencing a powerful resurgence—and with good reason. Families are rediscovering the unique benefits midwives bring. However, making this decision can feel overwhelming and confusing, even against what we’ve been taught about giving birth. That’s why we’re so glad to chat on IG Live with Catalina Clark, a midwife of healing. During this Live, we’re going to discuss giving birth at home, the benefits of midwives, the natural rhythms of labor, and so much more.
