Seriously though. When I hear a friend proudly announce that “I just threw away all that crap”, it makes me gasp. But why, Becky, you’re all about clean living? Well this is why and this is part of clean living too! 1. We throw away WAAAAY too much in this country. 2. We often only think about immediate impact of something on ourselves, versus the ripple effect of that choice. 3. Just because we won’t eat a particular something, doesn’t mean it couldn’t still bring the exact joy someone is needing in their day. 4. Farmers are STRUGGLING. If we buy pumpkins and then just want to throw them away, there’s an entire life cycle and food source that we are skipping. Donated pumpkins add needed nutrition for winter livestock needs. Often donation places do prefer the pumpkins in their most whole state, but it’s worth reaching out to your local groups to double check their specific requirements. Let’s all think beyond ourselves and our own convenience for a minute and consider the community impact we could have by opening our hands and minds a little wider. Sincerely yours in clean, Becky Ps: drop in the comments below if you have any other suggestions for where to donate these items! Love to crowdsource these things!

This audio🥹. Also, hi👋, it’s me. Posting in my feed after a long hiatus (ever wonder where I am? Usually in my stories😉). Social media is a complex web to navigate. I both love and hate it. Love it for the incredible vehicle of connection and sharing and encouragement it can be. Hate it for the crazytown stuff people share and how easy it is to compare my abilities to others and let imposter syndrome take a front seat. There have been so many evolutions of me in this clean living space. I’ve gone thru the “purist phase” where I hyper fixated on doing everything perfectly, then there was the “why would I add my voice to the noise” phase, then there was the “how do I best show up in this space with authenticity”, to now it’s a “God has given me a unique perspective thru my own lived experience in the health + wellness space, I don’t have everything figured out, I’m literally living today for the first time, just like every other human on the planet, so let’s just live and share and breathe the same air and be in awe of all the ways we can thrive in this life”. Also, even though the audio ends with the word “win”, to me winning isn’t about a competition with others, I hear it as a challenge to not give up on the calling God has placed on my life. My heart will always land back on “how does the work I do, the information I share and the glimpses into my life that I choose to highlight, remind people how to have grace for their own health journey, to feel empowered in making healthier choices and to feel encouraged and less alone”. This is my North Star. Thank you for being here as I share just another perspective in this space.🤍 Not already following? I’d be honored to have you hang out with me here —> @becky.glaze

Life changing kitchen non-negotiables! True story! The right ingredients make or break a home cooked meal! If you’ve never used grilling salt, YOU.ARE.MISSING out🤤! Also, only @wildbrine sauerkraut for us! And while YES, I do cheat on the lemon thing, and keep organic Italian lemon juice in my fridge I still ALWAYS have fresh lemons, because fresh is always my preferred, especially for cooking or seasoning foods! Have you ever used grilling salt? We import ours, which is superior, but I’m sure there are other local brands, they just have not made it to our table.
