Hey Friend,
What if your journey toward a low-toxic lifestyle didn’t begin with switching your skincare or tossing out plastic, but instead you started right in your closet?
In this episode of Start Living Sustainable, I’m inviting you to rethink what “cleaner choices” really look like. Because for some women, the most powerful first step into intentional, eco-conscious living begins not in the kitchen or nursery—but with the clothes you wear for life’s most meaningful moments.
Whether you’re dressing up for a wedding, baby shower, maternity shoot, or business event, renting your wardrobe can be a smart, stylish, and sustainable move that supports your values without sacrificing your vibe.
You’ll hear my personal behind-the-scenes story from my time as a celebrity fashion stylist/designer creating a gown for Nicole Kidman, and how that experience reshaped the way I view ownership, simplicity, and mindful living.
Because here’s the truth:Every room in your home offers an invitation to live more aligned.And for you, the closet might just be the perfect place to start.
Xoxo, Cynthia
🔑 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:Why renting clothes is a practical entry point into sustainable, non-toxic living
What celebrity wardrobes can teach us about simplicity, ease, and elegance
How circular fashion supports both holistic wellness and conscious consumption
Why starting small—right where you are—can lead to big shifts over time

Hi Friends!
So in today’s episode, we’re diving into what it really means to think differently about your health, especially in a world where unhealthy habits have been dressed up as normal.
If you’ve ever felt like the odd one out for questioning what’s in your food, your lotion, your cleaning spray, or even in the prescription handed to you in a 7-minute appointment—you’re in the right place.
No blame here. It’s about awareness. It’s about choosing to pause, pay attention, and ask:“What if the things I’ve been told are ‘fine’… really aren’t fine for me?”
We look at:
Why thinking differently doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you—it means something’s finally right
The cultural messaging that normalizes fast food, synthetic ingredients, and prescription meds as first-line solutions
What it looks like to reclaim your health by clearing the noise, the toxins, and the guilt
Why rejecting the status quo is an act of wisdom—not rebellion
And how to start making sustainable, supportive choices—one product, one plate, and one empowered step at a time

Hi Friends,
What if your favorite “comfy” outfit is quietly messing with your health?
In this episode of Start Living Sustainable, I’m sharing what most people never consider: your wardrobe could be contributing to fatigue, breakouts, restless sleep, and even hormone imbalance—and it has nothing to do with how it fits.
You’ll hear how synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon, and spandex can affect your skin, disrupt your hormones, and trigger symptoms we often blame on “just stress.”
I also touch on my Wardrobe Diagnostics™ method—a signature part of my one-on-one coaching sessions. It’s a powerful first step that helps my clients connect the dots between what they wear and how they feel, so they can start experiencing better energy, clearer skin, and a calmer, more supportive home environment.
Inside this episode:
Why your clothes might be making you feel tired, itchy, or anxious
What your closet may be telling you about your overall wellness
How color and fabric aren’t just aesthetic choices—they’re biochemical inputs
The first simple steps to clean up your wardrobe without being overwhelmed

Hey Friends!
In today's episode, I want to take a look at why you may be struggling to reach your wellness goals, and it's not what you think, -- it's your mindset?
I get it. Life is busy. Maybe you’ve told yourself:
🕒 “I just don’t have the time to focus on my health right now.”💰 “Eating clean and switching to non-toxic products is too expensive.”💪 “I don’t have the discipline to stay consistent.”
I’ve been there too. I know how it feels to want to change but to also feel stuck in old patterns, doubting if it’s even possible.
But here’s the truth: Time, money, and willpower aren’t the real obstacles. Your mindset is. And once you shift your thinking, everything else starts to fall into place.
Today, I’m walking you through these mindset blocks that are keeping you from implementing a healthier lifestyle—plus how to reframe your thoughts, stay consistent, and finally see results. And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone.
So if you’ve been feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, or stuck, this episode is for you. Grab your tea, get cozy, and let’s have an honest conversation.

Hi Friends,
Black history is a global legacy of innovation, resilience, and belonging that continues to shape the world.
In this episode, I share my perspective on how our impact as African- Americans extends far beyond DEI initiatives, from ancient African civilizations and Black biblical figures to modern-day pioneers whose contributions are woven into history, society, and culture. I also share my journey of discovering Black identity while living in Libya and Nigeria, and how that sense of belonging still resonates today.
Join me as we explore the global influence of Black history, the power of faith, and the resilience that defines us. Plus, I’ll leave you with a thought-provoking question and a word of encouragement to carry forward.

Hi Friends,
So glad you're here!
Every day, your home is shaping your health. The rooms you spend time in—your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and your baby nursery—along with the sheets you sleep on, the clothes you wear, the detergent you use, the products on your skin, and even the air you breathe—all of it adds up. Over time, hidden toxins in these everyday items can impact your sleep, hormones, energy, and overall well-being.
So where do you start in your home? Your bedding? Personal care products? Kitchen essentials? It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and stuck before you even begin.
In this episode, I break it down into 3 simple action steps to help you:
1. Identify the best room to start in to see and feel a real, noticeable change
2. Understand why small swaps can have a big impact on your health3. Take action without the stress of doing it all at once
If you’re ready to create a healthier, more sustainable home but need a clear plan, this is your sign to take action.

Cheers Health-Conscious Fans,
In this episode, I’m unpacking a Super Bowl commercial that made me pause—not for its creativity, but for its message about our health. It called out America’s obesity crisis and the system that profits from keeping us sick. But was it really exposing the truth, or was it just another strategic marketing play?
At first, I thought—finally, someone’s addressing the real issue! But then, I saw the catch. The ad wasn’t just revealing a problem; it was setting us up for another quick-fix solution.
💡 So let’s break it down:🔥 Who really wins in this $160 billion weight loss industry🔥 Why the system isn’t broken—it’s designed to keep us dependent🔥 How you can take control of your health instead of playing by their rules
The good news? You don’t have to keep falling into their trap. You can step away from the cycle, make informed choices, and take back control of your health—on your terms.
