On today's episode of the Healthy Balanced Birth and Beyond Podcast I'm chatting with Annie. Annie and I connected years ago at SOWA (a farmer's market in the Boston area). We instantly clicked and have been in contact ever since. Today we have an open and honest conversation the importance of supporting mothers, breastfeeding, and non-toxic living. She shares her experience growing up watching her mother breastfeed, her own personal experience as a mother, and what drove her to launch Annie's Pure and Simple.
Annie is a Mother, Grandmother, and the founder of Annie’s Pure and Simple. She founded Annie's Pure and Simple after years of working with toxic cleaning products in her growing cleaning company. She began to suffer from side effects from the products, leaving her hands raw, red, and experiencing shortness of breath when using them. Being allergic to latex gloves and not wanting to have to wear a mask all day, Annie knew she had to make some changes. Thinking back to a recipe her grandmother used to clean, Annie began to experiment by adding and subtracting ingredients. What you have today is the result of that research. Today Annie’s team is working on a concentrate, hand soap and dish soap to add to her line of products.
