On this episode, I share my own personal experience with healing my relationship with exercise. I share how I went from a normal, pretty active kid to someone who was obsessed with calories and going to the gym. I share how exercise played a role in my eating disorder and how that role morphed over the years. Finally, I share how taking a break from regular exercise in conjunction with intuitive eating helped me reassess the role that working out really played in my life. I finally share the role that intuitive movement plays for me now, and why it’s all about joy and mental health.

Mat Franken is the founder of Aunt Fannie’s an all natural cleaning company. His story is so powerful and this is one of those interviews that I just could have done for hours because I learned SO much. It’s that amazing combination of wellness, entrepreneurship, and curiosity that sparks excitement in me and I think it will for you too. I love Mat’s accessible approach to making our homes healthier. (no scare tactics here)

 

We Talk About:

  • How Mat started Aunt Fannie’s from adversity
  • How to make our homes less toxic
  • Resources for finding natural home products
  • EWG - environmental working group
  • Why and how Aunt Fannie’s formulates their products differently
  • The microbiome in our home and how we can over clean
  • How most bacteria keep us healthy
  • Tools for creating a home with good healthy bacteria
  • How to navigate greenwashing in the cleaning space
