  • 147 | Raising Gen Beta: Why Now Is the Time to Invest in Your Health & Home Before Baby
    Dec 10 2025

    Are you thinking about having a baby or trying to conceive and want to get your body and home ready first? In this episode of Start Living Sustainable, wellness coach Coach Cynthia shares simple pre-pregnancy health tips and low-toxic lifestyle shifts to reduce toxins, support your mood and hormones, and create a healthier home for pregnancy, postpartum, and your future Gen Beta baby.

    🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃 🍃

    Are you thinking about starting or adding to your family—whether you’re actively trying, planning for “soon,” or already newly pregnant—and you want to go into this next season a little more prepared?

    You’re learning about money. You’re trying to stay out of debt. You’re already doing the wellness apps, the organic groceries, the therapy, the supplements…

    And now you’re quietly wondering:

    “Okay… what can I do now so my body, my home, and my future baby are set up well from the start?”

    In this episode, we’re talking about exactly that.

    We’ll get into:

    • Who Gen Beta is (the babies being born into this tech-heavy, always-on world) and why your health and home environment matter so much for them

    • Why this season, before or early in pregnancy, is prime time for simple, powerful changes that support your body and your future baby

    • The “invisible pillar” of wellness no one really talks about—your environment (air, fabrics, products, daily exposures) and how it quietly shapes mood, hormones, and long-term health

    • How to think like a smart investor, not a stressed perfectionist, using my fashion “cost-per-wear” story to show why classic low-toxic habits beat random trendy products

    • Three gentle, high-impact shifts you can start this month that support you now and keep serving you through pregnancy, newborn life, and toddler chaos

    This isn’t about scaring you or handing you a 47-step checklist. It’s a calm, honest conversation about getting you ready for the baby you’re hoping for—and building habits that still make sense five, ten, twenty years from now.

    🍃🍃🍃

    Ready to Take the Next Step? You have 3 options, girl!

    Nov 11 2025

    What if the products meant to keep your home “clean” are quietly affecting your family’s health? In this episode, Coach Cynthia reveals the truth about hidden toxins, synthetic chemicals, and modern-day exposures shaping women’s health today—from fertility and fatigue to childhood development. Learn how faith, discernment, and simple low-toxic swaps can protect your home and body for generations to come.

    🌿 🌿 🌿 🌿

    Dear Friend,

    I see you’re doing your best—caring for your family, balancing work, faith, and everything in between. But here’s what no one told us: the world we live in now isn’t the one our mothers raised us in. The air, the food, even the fabrics on our skin have changed.

    In this episode, I share what’s really standing in the way of lasting wellness for this generation of women—and how to see the unseen threats with spiritual clarity and practical wisdom.

    ✨ Here’s what we cover:

    • The invisible health crisis unfolding in homes today

    • The emotional and spiritual weight women carry in a synthetic world

    • The difference between “looking” clean and being clean

    • Why discernment, not fear, is the key to protecting your home

    • Simple, faith-based steps to start detoxing your life today

    When you understand what’s hiding behind the label, you stop living in fear—and start living with peace, purpose, and power.
