Gurl Gone Green with Suzi Swope

Are you tired of feeling stressed, confused, and worried about how to live a more natural lifestyle that actually works in modern day? There’s a lot of information out there, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Welcome to the Gurl Gone Green podcast! I’m your host, Suzi Swope. After years of testing products and consuming conflicting information on what is ‘natural’ and ‘healthy’, I have finally figured out a lifestyle that works well for my family and me. And my heart is to help you figure out the same for you and yours. From non toxic cookware, to healthy meals to natural skin care, we’ll be covering it all in bite-size, easy to digest (literally and figuratively!) episodes, so you can make the swaps that are right for YOU. Here, we believe in progress perfection. My mission is to help you not necessarily find the ‘perfect’ solution, because that isn’t maintainable for anyone, but to guide you to the ‘best’ alternatives that are sustainable to your lifestyle. Because, trust me, I get it. I’m a mom with a full schedule of running my kids to practice, music lessons, and just trying to get dinner on the table - so finding healthy swaps that work within a full lifestyle is key! But I’ve done it and I'm here to make it more attainable, doable, and FUN. Tune in each week as I cover different topics that are top of mind to YOU. I’ll equip you with the knowledge to make the lifestyle changes that you’ve been thinking about, but weren’t sure how to execute. In a way that’s realistic of course. We’ll be covering things like: - Natural living, - Natural beauty, - Natural kids, - How to detox your life in steps, - Real life scenarios for you to easily understand! I’m so excited to have you in this community, friend. So, are you ready to go green? I’m Suzi, and THIS is the Gurl Gone Green Podcast. https://gurlgonegreen.com/
