But I’m Not Unhealthy… Why ‘Normal’ Symptoms Are Draining Moms’ Energy. You may say you’re fine, but everyday fatigue, brain fog, and restless nights aren’t as normal as they seem. In this episode, I explain how ‘good enough’ health drains your energy over time, and how simple, faith-backed steps can reset your home and body.

 

🌿🌿🌿 👉 Show Notes start here:

Hi Mom,

Most moms don’t think of themselves as unhealthy. After all, you’re not bedridden or carrying a diagnosis—you’re “fine.” But what if your normal isn’t as harmless as it seems?

Fatigue, brain fog, restless sleep, and constant stress aren’t random. They’re your body’s way of waving a red flag, telling you that the hidden toxic load you carry—through your environment, your food, and even your wardrobe—is quietly draining your energy.

In this episode of Start Living Sustainable, I share how health decline doesn’t happen overnight. Instead, it slips away slowly as stress hormones and inflammation, once meant to protect us, stay “switched on” and wear us down. I’ll explain how what you think of as “normal” symptoms are anything but—and how faith + science-backed steps can help you reset your home and body for real healing.

Xoxo, Cynthia
