In recent years there’s been a lot of hype around Himalayan Rock Salt, primarily around its flavour and reported health benefits. Sure, some of this attention is warranted, but if you live in Australia, eating Himalayan Rock Salt just doesn’t make environmental sense, especially when there’s a more sustainable salt you should be consuming in its place.
It never ceases to surprise me just how much the type of food has changed in one generation. While the varieties of salt available haven’t exploded to the same extent as coffee, milk and bread, the types of salt on the market are a stark contrast to those when I was a child growing up in the 1980s.
Back then it was table salt. Sodium chloride. White. Highly processed. Small granules. End of story.
These days it's an entire different ball game.
In this episode I share what the most sustainable salt available in Australia is, plus six reasons why Himalayan Rock Salt isn't welcome at my table.

Before I jump in to this episode I want to let you know that my Self Sufficiency in the Suburbs crowdfunding campaign has just opened and you can find it here.
Self Sufficiency in the Suburbs is all about living a more self-sufficient life in our modern world.
It will be an online course and membership club rolled into one that combines practical tools plus insanely useful how-to’s, with a gorgeous community of like-minded souls, to support you as you journey towards a better, simpler, more sustainable way of living.
Self Sufficiency in the Suburbs will be run as an annual membership program where you select to pay either monthly or annually, but if you buy Self Sufficiency in the Suburbs as part of the crowdfunding campaign rewards you will have LIFETIME access, meaning you’ll never need to pay a cent for these programs again.
Even better news is that you can pick up lifetime access for both Self Sufficiency in the Suburbs AND Home Detox Boot Camp as a package in the crowdfunding rewards for only $297 Australian – which is less than the price of Home Detox Boot Camp alone!!!
You’ll need to be super quick to pick up these specials as there’s a limited number of rewards available and the crowdfunding campaign only runs for 3 weeks….. which means it will finish on Monday 6th June.
So please check out my campaign and show your support to help me create and bring this idea to life.
Okay!!! Onto this episode......
It’s no secret that eco living can take a bit more effort than conventional living, but you and I both know that the rewards are totally worth it in the pride, freedom, health and financial stakes.
I’ve always said that eco living is a journey, and not a destination, and you need to look after yourself along the way. I’ve always thought I’ve maintained pretty good self-care but I’ll be honest and tell you that I've needed to crank it up a notch up it recently and I thought you may be interested to hear how I look after myself so that I can run both an eco-household and an eco-business.
I cover the importance of (plus share how I prioritize) the following:
How to run a self-sufficient household is the first module in my new program Self Sufficiency in the Suburbs.
But I’ll tell you right now and let you know that the key to running a self-sufficient household, a conscious business or just to turn up day in day out as a present mum who has the energy to give to her kids, you gotta look after YOU.
Are you striving for perfection when it comes to clean, green, toxin-free living? In the process are you rejecting gifts that don't align with your health or environmental values and moving them on as fast as they were given to you?
In this episode I chat about the gifts I was lovingly given by my children for Mother's Day and just why I'm choosing to receive, and use, a gift I would never purchase myself.
Have you ever shared inspirational quotes, bought awareness ribbons and bands, or changed your social media avatar to show support for a cause? If so, listen up because you may not realise it, but you could be a slacktivist!
When we “retweet,” when we “hashtag,” when we “share,” when we “like” online we allow ourselves to feel good because we’ve shown a level of awareness.
But actions speak louder than words.
In this podcast I chat about slacktivism and whether or not it is creating change in our world.
PLUS I give a heads up of my first ever crowdfunding campaign for Self Sufficiency In The Suburbs..... to be unveiled very soon!
