    Making a Green Lifestyle More Sustainable

    Making a Green Lifestyle More Sustainable

    When a movie (Food, Inc.) led Stephanie Moram to start questioning everything from her food to her personal care products, she became a woman on a mission to protect her family’s health, and an expert researcher out of necessity. Wanting to limit the unnecessary and potentially harmful items she was bringing into her family's home, Stephanie began the transition to a green, sustainable lifestyle. 

    She’s collected her wisdom of experience and home-testing to create a resource for others who want to do the same, on her website Good Girl Gone Green, and though her podcast Green Junkie, where she simplifies green living so you can waste less, have more and save money. 

    In this episode we discuss:

    • Making the transition easier to avoid overwhelm
    • Tools to shop efficiently
    • How “greenwashing” by manufacturers can lead consumers astray
    • Avoiding toxic and copycat ingredients
    • Being gentle on yourself while you be more gentle on the planet

     

    You can follow Stephanie on Instagram @thisisstephaniemoram

    Keep Moving Until You Find a Way | Corry Smith, Owner of CorEats | LIVE Podcast Event

    Keep Moving Until You Find a Way | Corry Smith, Owner of CorEats | LIVE Podcast Event

    CorEats, a packaged food company founded by Corry Smith, had its roots in her family’s health journey which began fifteen years ago. What started as a series of strange systems experienced by her eldest daughter turned into major dietary and wellness changes for everyone in the household. Replacing the standard American diet with a whole foods diet turned out to be the difference maker they were searching for. Corry’s dissatisfaction with many of the gluten-free options she found in the supermarket served as inspiration to create her own versions of the comfort foods that her family enjoyed.

    As she perfected her recipes and shared them with her community, Corry often received praise and affirmation that she had a culinary gift. After a spiritual fast in 2018, she fully accepted this blessing and decided to share her baking mixes on a much larger scale. It was during this brief period that she finalized and documented seven complete recipes which she debuted with the launch of her newly formed company. Today, CorEats is a vibrant and growing enterprise. Corry has an ever-expanding list of wholesale accounts, and she is currently finalizing arrangements to partner with a co-packer, which will bring her products to new locations throughout the country.

    #106 Penny Wise & Dollar Foolish Episode: Household Repairs, DIY or hire a Professional???

    When my kids were young they loved a show called Handy Manny. It was a child's show where the main character was very handy and fix or build anything. The reason the kids loved it was, he could talk to his tools. I was always interested because I knew I was never going to be Handy Manny. We all know people who are super handy and know there way around tools. Now I am capable but sometimes you have to ask yourself, "Can I do this project myself, or do I hire someone to do it"? 

    In this episode we discuss what projects we should and can do ourselves to save a buck or two or hire a professional to take on the task. This hilarious discussion is something we can all relate too!
