When we talk about lowering toxins, we usually mean food, products, and environment.
But what about emotional toxins?
This episode is deeply personal. I’m sharing a year of my life that cracked me wide open — aging parents, my 29-year-old daughter’s cancer diagnosis, hospitalizations, assisted living, falls, a stem cell transplant, moving my dad in with us, and ultimately walking him home peacefully.
And through it all?
Guilt.
Decades of it.
Not visiting enough.Not helping enough.Not asking enough questions.Not being enough.
The “shoulds” we quietly stack on ourselves as women.
On Lower Toxic Life, we talk about reducing inflammation in the body. But chronic guilt, resentment, repression, and overwhelm are inflammatory too. They don’t just live in the mind — they live in the nervous system.
In this episode, I share:
How caregiving stress impacts the body
The emotional weight many women silently carry
The illusion of “doing everything right”
Why guilt is often self-created
How I found peace before and after my dad’s passing
What we gave each other in his final 10 months
And how I’m choosing to model something different for my children
If you are navigating:
Aging parents
A child’s health crisis
Midlife transition
Burnout
Suppressed anger or resentment
Or decades of guilt
This conversation is for you.
Lowering toxins isn’t just about what’s on your plate.
It’s about what’s in your thoughts.
