It can be tough to be green, especially as a parent. Your brain isn’t always working correctly, you have less time, shifted priorities, and added expenses.
Last year I chatted with DJ Waldow of gDiapers' It Takes a Village to Raise a Parent Podcast. As the former Community Manager at gDiapers, I was honored to be interviewed about my green parenting tips and tricks.
Listen to the episode here.
EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:
- How and why I launched an organic skincare product company
- Growing up environmentally aware
- How my eco-passion grew once I had children
- Educating other parents on being more green
- How simple actions and decisions can make an impact
- Start small and don’t be hard on yourself (good tips for parenting in general)

At the time this podcast was recorded, I was actually in between work spaces. We were renovating our current house, so I was working in the basement at my parents' house. But I do reference my previous workspace a few times during the show.
