Hi Friends, it's Rachel Earp here! If you're like me and have been longing for a more simplified skincare regimen that is made with safe, clean ingredients....press play and listen to this episode featuring Emilie Toups- the founder of Toups & Co Organics. Emilie was first introduced to nontoxic skincare when she healed her daughter's eczema with tallow balm, an ancient remedy made from beef fat. Since then, Emilie has become a pioneer for “ancestral skincare” and nontoxic living, inventing and reimagining products that are effective and safe enough to eat. She first started by selling homemade tallow balms on Etsy,, and since then has pioneered ancestral skincare through the enormous Toups & Co brand.  In this episode, Emilie emphasizes the importance of reading and understanding product ingredients, as many companies use buzzwords like 'natural' and 'toxin-free' without truly being clean. She encourages consumers to educate themselves and make informed choices for their health and well-being. In this conversation, Emilie Toups emphasizes the importance of taking care of our bodies from the inside out and using tallow-based products for skincare. She explains that conventional products may provide quick fixes, but they contain toxins that can age the skin over time. On the other hand, tallow feeds the skin cells with fat-soluble vitamins, resulting in healthier and more radiant skin. One of the books she mentioned that has been a huge resource for clean eating is called "Gut and Physiology Syndrome" by Natasha Campbell McBride and is linked HERE Learn more about Emilie and her story by heading over to my website HERE Ready to try Toups & Co and experience the health benefits for yourself?

Here I share how I find peace and joy in motherhood, all while still enjoying this busy lifestyle. Since we will be home schooling and farming, I share my key strategies for having a more peaceful and connected time with my children. This bible verse is a good reminder about the seasons in life and how there is a time for everything. Including raising young children, which is such a short period of time in our lives. "For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to throw away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace" (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).

Our Small Biz Owners episodes are where we talk to the owner of a small business in our community, so that their story of starting, growing, and thriving can inspire you to do the same. This time, we're joined by Emilie Toups of Toups & Co Organics, a multimillion dollar skincare product business on a mission to create beauty inspired by nature.  Emilie first started creating skincare and makeup in her farmhouse kitchen after discovering how organic tallow and other quality, natural ingredients made a huge difference in her skin and her family's wellness. What started off as an Etsy shop four years ago has now turned into a multimillion dollar skincare business. Toups & Co Organics is an incredible success story. Not only has the company grown and continues to grow financially, but through the assistance of our Mastermind program and investing in their business, Emilie and her husband, Trent have been able to buy back their time to focus on other things that matter- such as homeschooling their children. In this episode, we talk about getting over the feeling of needing to do everything yourself, the importance of investing in yourself and your business, how you can conduct job interviews properly when you begin hiring in order to make sure that you find the right help and we even discuss paid ads!

Sulfates in shampoo. Aluminum in deodorant. Synthetic fragrances in skincare and household products. Emilie Toups, of Toups and Co Organics, today explains what to watch out for on the products we put on (and around) our bodies. She covers how the aforementioned chemicals can disrupt our hormone function and overall health. She explains how her journey to heal her daughter's eczema compelled her to research toxins. And she offers insights on simple swaps like fragrance-free laundry detergent in place of those with artificial "springtime" fragrance, tallow or emu oil instead of lotion, and how we might even ditch our shampoo products altogether.   Check out Emilie's website: toupsandco.com Purchase WAPF's "Healthy 4 Life" guide.
