Girlish Gurus

✨ What if the most powerful ingredient for skin healing, odor removal, and non-toxic cleaning… was already inside your body?

In this episode of Girlish Gurus, we’re talking to Brad Roderick, President of Emerald Prairie Home, about HOCl (hypochlorous acid)—a naturally occurring compound that’s revolutionizing how we clean our homes and care for our skin. 💧

Safe for babies, pets, and even the most sensitive skin—HOCl is nature’s own defense system. And Brad’s on a mission to bring it into every household. Clean smarter. Live healthier. Tune in to learn why HOCl might be the magic mist your home and skin have been waiting for.

💬 Some of the Key Topics of the Discussion Include:

💚 What is HOCl?

HOCl (hypochlorous acid) is a powerful compound your own body makes to fight infection and speed healing. In product form, it’s a non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative to harsh chemicals—effective enough to sanitize, yet gentle enough for a baby’s skin.

In this episode, we revisit our roots when the OG Girlish Gurus, Susan and Joy, talk with Lorraine and Leslie about their Italian retreat in the fall of 2023.  Joy attended with nine other women as they toured Florence, Tuscany and an organic Italian winery.  To say the retreat was a magical experience would be an understatement.  

There is no real way to explain how life-changing a retreat like this can be, you really have to experience it for yourself.  That's why Joy chose to join Lorraine and Leslie and she was oh so glad she did!  You can see how much fun they had by clicking on the links below or by checking out our YouTube channel, all the videos are posted there.
