I’ve been chatting with the Low Tox Life community in DMs and groups lately about that moment when the year settles in and everything feels back to ‘normal’ for many people, especially families with the school year in full swing and no holidays around the corner.

Maybe it’s become I’ve lived through a lot of...

Trauma - a buzzword, lots of awareness around it, solutions coming at us from all angles these days. Perhaps rather than being a ‘trend topic’ it’s actually a realisation happening globally that there is a lot of work to do if we want to stop repeating history on personal, cultural and global levels and start experiencing and creating more peace.  But how do we:  Stop being at war and be of service and in gratitude? Navigate out of the safe, small worlds we often create to protect ourselves...

The ‘war on cancer’ of the past 50 years hasn’t exactly worked. Cancer rates are higher than ever, and the dramatic rise in childhood and young adult cancers cannot be explained away with ‘better detection’ that often gets bandied about.
