53: How to be "green enough to be healthy & chill enough to be happy" with food advocate and "Mamavation" leader Leah Sedegie

"You have to be green enough to be healthy and chill enough to be happy." That is the motto of today's guest and mama of three, Leah Segedie. We try to keep our kids safe in the best ways we can and sometimes detoxifying our homes can feel overwhelming. Leah is here to tell us that it is totally possible as busy moms to "go green" in our homes and stay sane at the same time.  In her book and today, she shares about the three major things to avoid in our homes: Food packaging, pesticides and fire retardants. This passionate mama is also the author of Green Enough: Eat Better, Live Cleaner, Be Happier (All Without Driving Your Family Crazy!). She is also the founder of the Mamavation® community (which she'll be sharing about today), a social media consultant and food activist! She was also named"Mom of the Year" by Shape Magazine being named the 4th most Influential Mom Blogger by Cision Media.   Today she shares:   What to get rid of NOW in our homes and what we can chill out about  Why our lowest lows can lead to our highest peaks.  Why we should stand up for what we believe in  How to let go of control and be empowered at the same time.      Next IN PERSON Soul Mamma meeting May 26th at 3pm in downtown Santa Barbara.
