And onto this week’s show!
This week, it’s me chatting to you directly. No guest. I’m sharing the 3 most asked about topics from the book tour AND the 5 top recommendations I’ve made across the country in today’s show if you’re feeling a little lost or overwhelmed as to where to start or how to prioritise and not feel like you’re never doing enough – that ain’t allowed on my watch! Perfect for those newly embarked on their low tox way as well as curious to see if any old timers were surprised by what came up the most or what my top 5 were. I’ve just completed 42 book tour events (I think in the show I said 29 – I physically just counted them in my diary and it was 42 – thank you to all who came!) and across those 42 events, I’ve insisted we take at least half an hour to take community questions and see what people are really feeling tricky, challenged by so that it’s not just me talking AT people but we move forward and solve the big challenges in our community TOGETHER.

This came at perfect timing, I’m looking for a low tox option for a new pillow on recommendation of my osteopath! I’m checking out your recommendation, I also came across https://sleepmadetomeasure.com/ which looks great too – any comments on that brand? I noted that they sell 100% certified organic latex, 100% GOLS and GOTS certified, 100% compostable, and certified carbon neutral – almost seems too good to be true lol!
