How We Lost Our Home To Toxic Mold Jan 14, 2026

In this episode of the OrganiMama Podcast, Kristen sits down with her husband, Nick, to share a very real and personal chapter of their family’s story—discovering mold in their first home and the unexpected ripple effects it had on their health. They open up about the symptoms that first raised red flags, especially the intense reactions their daughter was experiencing, and how those clues led them down the path of testing and uncovering the root cause. Together, they walk through what they learned about mold, why it matters so much for family health, and the practical steps they took toward remediation, house hunting, and mold prevention. It’s an honest conversation about navigating fear, overwhelm, and the financial strain that can come with hidden toxins in the home.
