The Search For Wellness

Being a mum and watching your little baby suffer with eczema can leave you feeling completely helpless. 💔

You just want to make it better, so you reach for the creams, washes and products marketed for sensitive little bodies — trusting that what’s on the shelf is safe and gentle.

That was exactly the struggle my latest guest, Joey Richards, experienced with her own baby.

But that struggle led her to start looking more closely at what was actually inside some of the mass-produced products we use on our children every single day.

And that’s when her motherly instinct kicked in. 🤍

She wanted something simpler. Gentler. Something she could feel good about using on her own children.

And from that, Squishy was born — a Kenyan children’s personal-care brand created from one mum’s determination to find a better option for her babies. 🇰🇪

In this episode of The Search for Wellness, Joey and I talk about motherhood, eczema, ingredients, building Squishy and how sometimes our biggest struggles can lead us to create something beautiful.

This was easily the toughest episode I’ve recorded so far.

I went into places I don’t normally talk about. I allowed myself to be vulnerable, emotional and completely open about my experience with cancer.

It was hard to share… but I also felt like it was needed.

Because cancer is not a joke. The fear is real. The decisions are hard. The journey can change everything.

And if sharing my experience, my lessons and what helped me through it can help even one person feel less alone, ask more questions, find hope or take an active role in their own healing journey, then being this vulnerable was worth it. 🤍

If this is you, or someone you love is going through cancer, please share this episode with them.

5 years ago, I heard the words “You have cancer.”

There was so much I didn’t know then that I know now.

In this episode, I’m sharing the 10 things I wish I knew BEFORE my cancer diagnosis — about stress, sleep, gut health, movement, breath, boundaries and, most importantly, learning to listen to my body.

Cancer changed my life. But it also changed how I choose to live it. 🤍

Would you rub a by-product of crude oil all over your skin?

It sounds shocking… but petroleum jelly (commonly known as Vaseline) is made from a highly refined by-product of crude oil.

For decades, it’s been a household staple, loved for helping prevent moisture loss by creating a protective barrier on the skin. But is that really the best thing for our bodies?

In this episode, Megan and Allison from Grounded and I explore:
✨ What petroleum jelly actually is
✨ Why it’s found in so many skincare products
✨ Why some people choose to avoid petroleum-based ingredients
✨ Whether creating a barrier is the same as truly nourishing your skin
✨ Natural alternatives that can support your skin while providing beneficial vitamins and fatty acids

The goal isn’t fear—it’s awareness. The more we understand what’s in our everyday products, the more empowered we are to make informed choices for ourselves and our families.

Did you know that some of the products we use every single day to clean our homes could be exposing us to ingredients we’d never knowingly choose?

It’s a conversation that made me completely rethink what’s sitting under my kitchen sink.

The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one you have with yourself. 🤍

Sometimes the greatest act of self-care isn’t doing more—it’s giving yourself permission to simply be.

WHAT IF COLLABORATION IS ACTUALLY THE FUTURE OF WELLNESS? 👀

In an industry where everything can sometimes feel like a competition… is it really?
