1342. Small Swaps Making a BIG Difference: Toe Spacers, EMF Blocking Headphones, Switching to 100% Cotton

Hey Heal Squad! Maria is back with another What Worked This Week, and after talking about the power of paying attention, this week she's noticing the little things….like the things we wear, the habits we don't think twice about, and even the tiny details around our homes that could make a BIG difference. First up: Maria found a new pair of wired headphones she's loving and breaks down what makes them different. Then we have the inexpensive find of the week: HANES cotton bralettes! They're simple, comfortable, under $14 for a three-pack, and Maria is basically living in them. But here's where things get really interesting…Maria is training her feet. After noticing pain and changes around her toes, she's been experimenting with toe-spacing socks, paying attention to wider toe boxes, and completely rethinking some of the shoes she's worn for years. Could the shoes we've been squeezing our feet into all these years be affecting more than just our feet? Maria shares what she's noticed so far and stay tuned because we have a foot health expert coming on soon! If you have foot questions, SEND THEM IN so we can ask her! Then, a question for all the parents: Should we bring back the landline?! Maria shares the realization that made her consider putting a simple phone with big buttons in her house so Athena would know exactly what to do in an emergency. And finally, a little inspiration to carry with you this week from Mary Oliver: “Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” Because life isn't only made up of monumental breakthroughs. Sometimes it's noticing the tiny things that can make an ordinary Monday feel extraordinary. Enjoy, Heal Squad!
