 What brand of sunscreen should you buy? Is flavored yogurt toxic? What’s the deal with seed oils? Should you really wash rice multiple times before cooking? There are questions you’ve been wondering about and there are questions you’ve never thought to ask – and that’s why, after a two and a half year hiatus, I’m so excited to finally bring back The Clean Living Podcast for Season Two. 

I’m Shannon Lohr and I’m an entrepreneur, mom of two little kids and a sustainability advocate. I started The Clean Living Podcast in 2020 as a “pandemic project” that quickly gained traction from friends, family, clients, colleagues and friendly strangers on the internet. I never expected a side project to earn over 30,000 downloads, with dozens of five star reviews, and even get my dad to stop buying scented trash bags. 

But if there’s anything the past three years have taught us, it’s that… life happens. I got busy growing my business, Factory45, and then… growing another human – I gave birth to my daughter last year. But through all of that, I couldn’t stop thinking about this podcast… about all of the research I wanted to share with you… and all of the things I’ve been learning about what we put in and on our bodies.

If you haven’t listened to Season One yet, you have two weeks to go back and catch up before Season Two starts on September 13th. I covered everything from food dyes to deodorant to kids clothing, and every episode is less than 10 minutes long so that you can listen while you’re folding laundry or driving to school pickup.

Next week I’m going to share a teaser of what’s in store for season two, so that we’re ready to start taking charge of the toxins, pollutants and health in our own families. We’ll continue to explore how to live a more sustainable life without guilt, shame or overwhelm – and without breaking the bank.

So grab a friend, an accountability partner or share this with someone who’s interested in cleaner living. We’re going to go back into your kitchens, your closets and even your bedrooms. I’ll tell stories, I’ll make sarcastic comments and we’ll feel like we’re picking up right where we left off.

Until then, click the subscribe button wherever you get your podcasts so that you don’t miss an episode. I’m so glad to be back and I’m honored to have your ear.

Transcript

Welcome to The Clean Living Podcast and I’m your host Shannon Lohr. I’m an entrepreneur, a mother and a consumer who thinks a lot about what I buy — especially when it comes to home, food and beauty. After 10 years of doing this research on my own, I realized it should be easier and more accessible for people to learn about healthier and more sustainable living. I created this podcast so that I can encourage one small change in mini, easy to digest episodes that are under 10 minutes.

Before we get started, though, I want to share something that all of my listeners need to know:

If you stick around long enough, you’re going to hear me talk a lot about some potentially anxiety-provoking stuff: words like toxins and phthalates and formaldehyde don’t exactly make for easy listening.

If you find yourself feeling anxious because let’s say, I’ve just told you that you’ve been swiping aluminum under your arms for 20 years, it’s important to know this:

Your body has the amazing ability to change — and not only to change, but to heal itself. If there’s anything I’ve learned from listening to holistic doctors, naturopaths and scientists, it’s that our bodies can regenerate in extraordinary ways.

So, let’s say you’ve been using traditional cleaners, like windex and Fantastik, for decades. I’m telling you, it’s never too late to switch over to non-toxic cleaning supplies. The same goes for makeup, shampoo, clothing and most of the other things I’m going to be talking about.

I’m going to teach you what I’ve learned, the products I avoid, the products I suggest switching to and I want you to remember that there’s no shame or guilt if you’ve been using a product I tell you to avoid. My goal is to empower you to change one small thing each time you listen to an episode, so you and your family can live cleaner and healthier lives.

We can undo what conventional products have done to us — and that’s what I want you to remember if you decide to take this journey with me.

I’m Shannon Lohr and I’ve been an entrepreneur in the sustainable fashion industry since 2010. What started as an interest in eco-friendly fashion has evolved over the years into somewhat of an obsession… with eco-living. When I became a mom in 2018 that obsession reached a whole new level, then a pandemic hit in 2020 and I realized it was time to share the research I’ve been doing over the past decade.

And so, The Clean Living Podcast was born. This is a show that helps busy women live more sustainably in the areas of food, home and beauty.
