    Thank you so much
    Thank you so much Kate for all these powerful insights and to share with us! Our community and Planet need your vision!
  • Gtmommyof3
    Great advice that is hard to find!
    I’m so thankful for your podcast. I started exploring nontoxic home materials several months ago but have found the information hard to find. Some of the books are a little too extreme for what I can do in my climate - meaning straw bale, rammed earth, etc. So far I’ve listened to several episodes and have found the information to be straightforward, applicable and I’m really looking forward to listening to more episodes. Thank you!

    Great design podcast
    I love thinking about how to design my home to make myself and family as happy and healthy as possible. This is one of the few podcasts I listen too. I think a lot of interior design blogs focus on how to make your house look like everyone elses (within a specific style) and nice/on-trend. It's great to have advice that is more focused on making your home the best place/space for you and your family.

    Extremely useful information freely shared
    This podcast is invaluable if you are thinking about building or remodeling your home. Kate generously shared her knowledge of the latest and greatest in green/sustainable building and makes sure you remember that the goal is to build better or just for yourself, but for the planet.

    I love this podcast.
    I’ve always been interested in making my home healthier, but didn’t know where to start. Some days the air just felt gross and stuffy, or something about the rooms felt distracting, and I really just wanted easy ways to make my home feel more comfortable. Then I found this podcast! Kate presents topics in a way that’s always accessible and thoughtful. I also really like that this is from the perspective of a licensed professional with actual expertise on this subject. Looking forward to more episodes!

    Such An Important Topic!
    Health and wellness in a home environments is such an important topic that doesn’t get nearly the attention it should. Kate is an extremely knowledgeable architect with a breadth of technical expertise, and in this podcast she breaks down what can be complicated concepts into simple to understand, actionable techniques for homeowners to apply on their own. Super valuable and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you Kate!
  • SkiNH79
    Very Useful Info!!
    This podcast is so helpful in explaining why it’s important to have a healthy home, and what some simple steps are for getting there. It provides actionable advice to those looking to take simple steps, to people looking to renovate an existing space, and to people looking to build a new space. I’m really looking forward to what the next episodes bring!
