EPISODE SUMMARY
In this inspiring episode of the Rooted Podcast, we sit down with Becky, better known as Clean Mama, the creator of cleanmama.com and author of multiple books that help families create order, peace, and joy in their homes. Becky shares how a simple cleaning routine she developed back in 2000 grew into a thriving community, product line, and movement that helps thousands of families. From her days as an art teacher managing the chaos of 600 kids a week, to launching a blog during the 2008 financial crisis, to writing books and creating non-toxic cleaning products—her story is both practical and faith-filled. We talk about her 15-minute cleaning method, her five daily habits that keep chaos at bay, the importance of using safe, non-toxic products, and how her faith has shaped her work and family life. Whether you’re a busy parent, college student, or someone overwhelmed by clutter, this conversation will leave you with both encouragement and practical tools you can use right away.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
