In this insightful episode, Yasmine dives into practical strategies aimed at helping mothers navigate the challenges of motherhood, while lightening their mental load.
Yasmine provides 6 actionable tips designed to empower mothers to manage the mental load more effectively.
Sharing personal experiences and focusing on self-compassion, adaptability, and recognizing that the journey of motherhood involves constant change.
In this episode:
Here are her 6 tips to reduce the mental load for moms:
1. Prioritize and Let Things Go: Encouraging mothers to prioritize tasks, say no more often, and be selective about opportunities. The emphasis is on understanding that not everything has to be done, and letting go of non-essential tasks can absolutely lighten the mental load.
2. Focus on Delegation within Your Family: Discussing the importance of involving family members, including children and spouses, in household responsibilities. Delegating tasks and allowing others to contribute fosters a sense of teamwork and shared responsibility.
3. Create Organizational Systems: Highlighting the power of having structured systems in place, such as family calendars, written plans, and daily routines. These systems reduce the mental effort required for day-to-day tasks, making it easier to manage responsibilities.
4. Embrace Technology: Leveraging technology to simplify tasks, from grocery shopping apps to budgeting tools. The use of technology is presented as a way to streamline processes and reduce the need for manual effort.
5. Get Support: Recommends seeking help when needed, whether through hiring services like housekeepers or delegating specific responsibilities to others. Emphasizes that support can significantly alleviate the mental load.
6. Prioritize Self-Care and Time Management: Encourages mothers to include themselves in their priorities, practicing self-care and effective time management. Acknowledging that taking care of oneself positively impacts the ability to handle daily responsibilities with enthusiasm and energy.
Your challenge today is to start with one of these tasks. Do a brain dump of what is nagging you and start there!

ons/all-products Learning about the world of non-toxic toys is especially important for young children's developing bodies. Toxic chemicals can harm brain and organ development, so you need to understand which common chemicals to avoid in toys and what some safer alternatives are.
In the latest episode of The Non-Toxic Mommy Podcast, Yasmine explains why we need to be careful about chemicals in toys, especially for babies. Their developing bodies are more sensitive!
Yasmine explains everything about nasty toxins, from BPA to flame retardants. And how about those light-up toys keeping the baby awake? Not a good idea.
Luckily, there are safer materials. Wood is excellent, and organic cotton is perfect for stuffies, too. Silicone and natural rubber toys can work in a pinch.
The best part is you don't need to toss everything overnight. Just slowly replace toys with quality wooden and natural items. Fewer toys means more focused play!
This episode will nudge you in the right direction. Your kids will thank you later for making safer choices now.
“I think it's so wonderful that you are here with me, learning about the importance of non-toxic toys, thinking about this while your kids are little because this is when we can make that change. This is when we can really impact their future development just by helping them avoid some of the lore of, like, mainstream toys." ~ Yasmine MoussaIn This Episode:

Some people believe that you cannot detox your body, that it will just clean itself, and that you can't do anything to assist in the process. This is one belief system about detoxification.

Your favorite Non-Toxic Mommy truly believes detoxing isn't a quick fix but a lifestyle, a holistic way of supporting your body's natural cleansing mechanisms.
In this episode, Yasmine offers a treasure of healthy practices designed to nurture your body's inherent detox systems. And here's the catch: it's not just about sipping green juices or fasting. It's about weaving detox into your daily life.

“At its core, detoxing is really about giving the blood a good thorough cleanse. Think about it like this - The liver is your personal filtration system. It seeps out impurities, it processes them from the blood to help prepare them for elimination. But even the liver needs a little bit of help sometimes." - Yasmine MoussaIn This Episode:

How can you set yourself up for success in your non-toxic living journey? Everybody’s favorite Non-Toxic Mommy, Yasmine Moussa, is offering us her top three tips that you should do BEFORE you even think about swapping out any products or make any major lifestyle changes.
Do you ever feel the tug of wanting to get toxic chemicals out of your life, but hesitate knowing that will mean going against the grain? Maybe it’s a difficult conversation with a family member, or maybe it’s making tougher choices about the things you buy.

Sharing from personal experience, Yasmine is encouraging women looking to begin their healthy journey to really unpack their deeper reasoning with regard to why pursuing a non-toxic lifestyle is worth it for them.
Learn about ‘The Seven WHYs’ as well as how and why your WHY might change over time.

How does someone go from being clueless (and addicted to Taco Bell) to a non-toxic mommy who can read a product label in just a few short seconds? Listen to the personal journey of our host, Yasmine Moussa, as she shares her powerful, moving story of how she embraced clean living and gentle motherhood.
Growing up, Yasmine lived a mainstream life, never thinking much about her health, eating what she wanted (lots of carbs and candy), and reaching for antibiotics anytime she got sick. Back then, wellness wasn't very mainstream. It took motherhood to provide Yasmine with the desire to change and do better.
Yasmine's search for a better way for her family has led, over the better part of a decade, to her establishing herself as a thought leader for mothers seeking non-toxic, healthy living alternatives.
In today's inspiring inaugural episode, your holistic mom bestie is providing you with three tips on how you can start your non-toxic living journey. As Yasmine encourages us, it's all about taking small actionable steps that ultimately make the hard thing easier to do.
From asking yourself what is your 'why?' for making these lifestyle changes (and having difficult conversations with family and friends who maybe don't get it), to giving yourself grace as you aim for consistency over intensity, Yasmine's heartfelt advice will strike a chord with all mothers out there. Please join us.
"I know what I'm doing because of where I started. And that transformation took place simply because I knew, okay, what I've been doing for the last ten, fifteen years isn't going to cut it when motherhood gets involved. And so that was my impetus. It's not about me anymore." ~ Yasmine Moussa (The Non-Toxic Mommy)In This Episode:
- Yasmine's typical childhood of candy and fast food
- Understanding your 'why' for pursuing clean living
- How motherhood provided the impetus for Yasmine to change
- The importance of committing to healthy living for the long haul
- 'Consistency before intensity' - lessons from James Clear
- Giving yourself grace so that you set yourself up for success
- Why freedom and good quality of life are a birthright
- Today's homework: drink more water
