55 - Monica Leonard Protects our Families from Everyday Dangers

Meet Monica Leonard - Pediatric nurse turned entrepreneur, mom, wife, and trailblazer in the world of chemical-free living. Actually that's the wrong way to say it, as Monica educated me, there are all sorts of chemicals in the world. Some are really bad for you and much more abundant than we realize. Monica didn't intend to start a business that focuses on healthy living. She got here through an experience that will break your heart, but ultimately turned into something that can help others. Molly's Suds was created after Monica lost her baby, Molly, just before she was born. Monica's baby died in utero the day before she gave birth. It's tragic, horrific and triggers so much emotion that I choke up during the interview and literally have trouble recovering. Monica explains how she was able to continue on despite this deep loss, and how she became obsessed with the compounds that we expose ourselves to, without fully understanding how they may or may not affect our bodies.
