In this episode, Shannon welcomes Kim Zangar-known as Nontoxnana-a passionate educator helping families reduce their exposure to toxins in personal care and household products. Kim’s journey began with childhood allergies and asthma, eventually leading her to discover the hidden dangers in everyday items and the overwhelming number of chemicals women encounter before even leaving the house each morning.

Kim shares her personal story, from managing her own sensitivities to creating a safer environment for her children and grandchildren. She explains why reading labels can feel so tough, how “greenwashing” misleads well-meaning shoppers, and why patience and persistence matter when making the switch to cleaner products. Kim offers practical advice on where to start for the biggest impact-like swapping out detergents, dish soap, and deodorant-and reassures listeners that it’s okay if the first product you try isn’t your favorite. The process takes time, but every small change adds up.
