388. Alexx Stuart, Low Tox Life founder, shares 10 common situations that can be tricky with getting your people on board the low tox train and how to navigate them: Part 1

Have you ever felt super passionate about making a change for people or planet in the low tox sphere, only for it to land like a lead brick with your kids, partner, family or friends?

Maybe you’ve joined groups, watched documentaries, and read books, and you can’t understand why people aren’t excited?

Maybe your family members think you’re overreacting, or an annoying parent/partner just wanting to buy lots of things we don’t need or trying to make everyone do more in an already busy day?

Or making up problems when you could "paint over it" (hellooooo mould remediation discussions!).  

Whatever it is, in this week’s show, I tackle the first 10 of 20 of the most common objections from family members across all low tox topics and how to make a case for change!

The next 10 will be in Part 2 soon. 

The 10 situations in Part 1 are:

Kids with friends obsessed with a certain drink bottle

A teen in the cool gang and the gang are starting to vape or use synthetic fragrance sprays. 

Little Kid starting to get fussy about food once they see how/what other kids eat

Narrow diet - encouraging broader variety in kids!

Teens and microtrends

Personal care/hygiene with teens

Then at home...

Getting new appliances - general

Justifying dehumidifiers/air filters

Non Stick pan upgrades

Building a case for maintenance

To be continued!

Today is about creating low toxic unity, not ‘annoying overreactor division’, Alexx x
