What’s really hiding in your home, and how can you protect your family without falling into fear or perfectionism? In this thought-provoking episode of The Art of Living Well Podcast®, hosts Marnie Dachis Marmet and Stephanie May Potter welcome back Lindsay Dahl, Chief Impact Officer at Ritual, author of Cleaning House: The Fight to Rid Our Homes of Toxic Chemicals, Co-founder of Hilde, and Board Member at Toxic-Free Future and Chamber of Mothers.
Lindsay shares her 20-year journey in environmental health, consumer safety, and clean living advocacy. She explains why she wrote Cleaning House, the rise of what she calls the “digital wellness wars,” and how social media has polarized conversations about toxic chemicals. Together, they break down the most important exposures to address in your home, supplements, cookware, furniture, and personal care, while reminding listeners to avoid all-or-nothing thinking.
This episode is both inspiring and practical: you’ll learn how small shifts at home can protect your family, why collective advocacy is essential for lasting change, and how to bring more balance (and less fear) to your wellness journey.
