• 136 | Seeing Isn't Believing, Choosing Awareness: Uncovering What's Hidden in Your Home
    Sep 23 2025

    AI can fake what looks real, and the toxins you don’t see are often the most harmful. In this episode, discover why seeing isn’t believing anymore and how awareness can help you uncover what’s hidden to create a healthier home for your family.

    ✨🌿✨🌿✨🌿✨🌿✨🌿✨

    Hey friends,

    We’ve all heard the saying “seeing is believing.” But today, that’s no longer wisdom. From AI images that fool our eyes to hidden toxins in our homes, the paradox is clear: what you see isn’t always real, and what you don’t see can sometimes be the most harmful.

    In this episode, I’ll share why appearances can’t always be trusted, why awareness and discernment matter more than ever, and simple, practical steps you can take to start uncovering what’s hidden and building a healthier home.

    Here’s what you’ll take away from Episode 136:

    • 🌱 Why seeing isn’t believing in a world of AI and hidden toxins

    • 🍓 Real-life examples like pesticides on strawberries, toxins in laundry detergents, and chemicals in baby nurseries

    • 🛑 How to recognize greenwashing and marketing ploys designed for profit—not your health

    • 💚 Why awareness and discernment are critical for protecting your family

    • ✨ Simple first steps to make safer swaps without overwhelm

  • 132 | But I’m Not Unhealthy...Why ‘Normal’ Symptoms Are Draining Moms’ Energy
    Aug 26 2025

    But I’m Not Unhealthy… Why ‘Normal’ Symptoms Are Draining Moms’ Energy. You may say you’re fine, but everyday fatigue, brain fog, and restless nights aren’t as normal as they seem. In this episode, I explain how ‘good enough’ health drains your energy over time, and how simple, faith-backed steps can reset your home and body.

    🌿🌿🌿 👉 Show Notes start here:

    Hi Mom,

    Most moms don’t think of themselves as unhealthy. After all, you’re not bedridden or carrying a diagnosis—you’re “fine.” But what if your normal isn’t as harmless as it seems?

    Fatigue, brain fog, restless sleep, and constant stress aren’t random. They’re your body’s way of waving a red flag, telling you that the hidden toxic load you carry—through your environment, your food, and even your wardrobe—is quietly draining your energy.

    In this episode of Start Living Sustainable, I share how health decline doesn’t happen overnight. Instead, it slips away slowly as stress hormones and inflammation, once meant to protect us, stay “switched on” and wear us down. I’ll explain how what you think of as “normal” symptoms are anything but—and how faith + science-backed steps can help you reset your home and body for real healing.

    Xoxo, Cynthia

    Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode: ✅ Why “I’m fine” is often your body’s biggest warning sign ✅ The connection between stress, inflammation, and everyday mom symptoms ✅ How hidden exposures in your home environment quietly fuel fatigue and stress ✅ Practical, faith-based strategies to lighten your toxic load without overwhelm

    ✨ This isn’t about doing it all at once—it’s about taking simple, intentional steps toward a healthier home that heals instead of harms.

  • 131| Toxins in Your Home: What Every Protective Mom Needs to Know to Keep Her Family Safe
    Aug 19 2025

    Think toxins are everywhere, so there’s nothing you can do? Think again. In this episode, Cynthia reveals why protective moms can’t afford to ignore hidden toxins in their homes—and how small, intentional choices can make a big difference for your family’s health.

    Hi Moms,

    You already do so much to protect your family—healthy meals, exercise, even a little self-care when you can squeeze it in. But what about the invisible toxins hiding in your home?

    The truth is, there are over 80,000 synthetic chemicals registered for use in the U.S.—and very few have been tested for long-term safety. While our grandmothers didn’t need to think about detoxing, today our bodies are battling things they never faced: pesticides in our food, chemicals in our cleaners, preservatives in nearly everything, and the constant stress of modern life.

    No wonder so many moms feel exhausted, bloated, and foggy even after “doing everything right.”

    In this episode, I'm sharing:

    • The everyday sources of toxins our bodies were never designed to handle

    • Why your healthy habits (like clean eating and exercise) may not be working as well as they should

    • What sets protective moms apart from the rest—and how being intentional, not perfect, changes everything

    • Practical, doable swaps to start detoxing your home without feeling overwhelmed

    • A faith-filled reminder that your family’s health is priceless—and worth protecting

    ✨ Whether you’ve felt stuck thinking “toxins are everywhere, so what’s the point?” or you’re ready to take control of what you can change, this episode will empower you with clarity, hope, and real solutions.

  • 130 | Tired of Starting Over on Your Wellness Journey? Try These 2 Habits Instead
    Aug 12 2025

    Hi Mama, if you’re tired of starting over — in your wellness journey, your habits, or even how you show up for your family — these two faith-powered, brain-based habits will help you make changes that finally stick.

    Are you exhausted from hitting the “reset” button over and over? In this episode, Tired of Starting Over on Your Wellness Journey? Try These 2 Habits Instead, I'm uncovering the two scientifically proven habits — habit formation and reducing negative emotions — that can transform not only your health but your mindset, your home, and your family’s future.

    XoXo, Cynthia

    You’ll learn:

    • How habit loops quietly shape your choices (and how to rewrite them)

    • Why negative emotions sabotage good intentions — and how faith can rewire your brain for better responses

    • Practical examples you can use today to shift patterns in your eating, product choices, and lifestyle

    • The connection between renewing your mind (Romans 12:2) and creating lasting, intentional change

    This isn’t about perfection — it’s about intention. When you understand how your brain works and invite God into the process, you stop starting over and start building something that lasts.

But don’t worry—this isn’t about overhauling your entire life. I’ll walk you through where to begin and how to reduce your family’s toxic load step by step.
