Welcome to December! J & G are on a silly kick as they climb "cringe mountain" and discuss the Barbie movie, shows (and their theme songs) they loved as kids, and whether or not they need a new intro or theme song for the pod. G shares her entrepreneurial journey from classroom teacher to online tutor to now podcaster and course creator. J reminds everyone that we both cannot stay in one lane!

All jokes aside we loved chatting about the desire to find something that fills you up and how the willingness to try and fail and get back up again is so helpful in these endeavors. If you are searching for a creative outlet outside of the work you are currently doing but aren't sure where to start, listen in, we got you!

Join J and G as they explore the world of low tox living with Gail Irving, the visionary behind Low Tox Lifestyle. After a successful career in Big Tech, Gail redirected her passion towards helping others effortlessly detox their home. Gail gives listeners great insight into what detoxing the home means, and why it's so important!

Based in Denver, CO, Gail shares her personal story and the significance of the low tox mission. The discussion covers common environmental toxins, the legislative landscape around product safety, and practical steps for reducing toxic exposure in various spaces, including kitchens, bedrooms and even closets. This is the perfect episode for anyone currently trying to lower their toxic load – no matter where you are on that journey. Gail also provides valuable insights into turning this passion into a thriving business and offers listeners an exclusive 15% discount on digital assets and virtual support with the code SECRETSPILLERS.

Show Notes:

G welcomes on her favorite person, her little sister Maddy Green, and J learns all about cob houses.

Maddy is a lifelong illustrator who is always trying out myriads of other projects, including raising children, gardening, social work, housing advocacy, and experimenting in the kitchen. She is passionate about simple and affordable sustainability and finds that the best choices for our homes, health, and families can also be the best choice for protecting our planet. 

We get to know what it looks like to be an artist producing work for products and making sustainable decisions along the way. Maddy uncovers many secrets of the housing industry and introduces us to the ideal way to build a house. She hooks us up with tips and tricks to be more conscious of our habits in our homes and for all the mamas out there she has beautiful insight into mothering with less.

It was such a joy to finish up our sister interviews on the podcast and highlight the amazing knowledge Maddy has in so many areas of interest that all intersect around taking care of our planet. What a good egg!
