Dana K. White is a blogger, podcaster, speaker, and (much to her own surprise) a Decluttering Expert. She taught both English and Theatre Arts before leaving her job to make her family her life's work. In an attempt to get her home under control, Dana started blogging as "Nony" (short for anonymous) at A Slob Comes Clean. Dana soon realized she was not alone in her housekeeping struggles and in her feelings of shame.

Today, Dana shares realistic home management strategies and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy through her blog, weekly podcasts, and videos. Dana lives with her husband and three kids just outside of Dallas, Texas.

Have you ever wondered how invisible forces in your environment—like Wi-Fi, wearables, and even electric cars—could be silently impacting your health? In this eye-opening episode of The Visibly Fit Podcast, I talk with Justin Frandson, an athletic performance coach and electromagnetic fields (EMFs) expert, about the unseen dangers of electromagnetic radiation and its impact on our bodies.

Learn how to detox your home environment, why wearables might be draining your energy, and how EMF Rocks' Grounding Bags infused with unique colloid crystals can shield you from harmful frequencies. Discover practical ways to harness nature’s resources for optimal health and well-being.

If you’ve ever felt fatigued, unbalanced, or just plain curious about the invisible forces around you, this episode will inspire and equip you with the knowledge to take action. Tune in and discover how aligning with God’s creation can transform your health and vitality.

Disclaimer:

As a Bible-believing Christian, I believe that all creation is a gift from God, designed for our well-being and His glory. In this episode, we discuss the natural properties of crystals and other elements in creation. This conversation focuses solely on their scientific and physical properties as part of God’s design, not on any mystical or spiritual powers.

I want to clarify that our faith is in God alone—not in creation or any object. My goal is to explore how we can use the resources God has provided wisely and responsibly for our health while keeping our focus on Him as the ultimate healer and provider. If this topic raises questions for you, I encourage you to prayerfully seek God’s wisdom and discernment as you listen.

Join me as I share about our recent mission trip to Pakistan, where my husband and I had the life-changing opportunity to help families break free from the grip of modern-day slavery in the brick kilns. Yes, slavery still exists—and it’s heartbreaking. In this episode, I share the highs and lows, the resilience of those who endure unthinkable hardships, and the joy of watching them embrace freedom.

This story isn’t just for those interested in missions; it’s for anyone who’s ever felt trapped or hopeless. You'll find stories of unwavering hope, kindness, and deep faith. And the best part? You'll see how small acts of compassion can lead to profound change. I hope it inspires you to look at gratitude differently, to act, and maybe even join me one day on a trip like this.
