In this episode of Healthy Habits for a Healthier Home, Robin sits down with Mona Murahwa, founder of Cleaning Mama, to talk about burnout, big pivots, and the powerful connection between our home environment and our health.

Mona shares her journey from a demanding corporate career to creating small-batch, non-toxic cleaning products rooted in intention, quality, and care. Together, they unpack why reading ingredients matters, how toxic cleaning products can impact hormones and overall wellness, and why greenwashing makes it harder than ever for families to make truly healthy choices.

This conversation is an empowering reminder that it’s okay to pivot, simplify, and choose products—and careers—that support peace, health, and purpose.

1. Burnout can be a sacred nudge toward reevaluating purpose and priorities
2. Conventional cleaning products can negatively impact hormones and family health
3. Reading ingredients is essential for informed, empowered choices
4. “Fragrance” can mean very different things—natural vs. synthetic matters
5. Small-batch production supports quality, transparency, and trust
6. Greenwashing is widespread in the cleaning and wellness industry
7. Mindful product choices support long-term health outcomes
8. Multi-purpose cleaners reduce clutter, overwhelm, and cost
