Why do we act like health only counts if we do it all perfectly?
In this episode, we talk about why small simple swaps matter more than an all-or-nothing approach. From filtering water to ditching toxic cookware, we share the simple changes we made first and why they stuck. There’s no need to overhaul your whole house at once. Prioritize the things you use most in order to make a big difference, and save the less-used things for later. We also get into hacks like buying frozen fruit in bulk and how social media can make the journey feel harder than it is. At the end of the day, doing something—anything—is better than staying stuck because it’s not “perfect.”
