Memorable Moments:\u201dIt [mold] can affect everyone, even if you don\u2019t realize that it\u2019s affecting the whole household.\u201d
\u201dIt\u2019s neuro-toxic. It definitely has so much impact on the body and when you start digging in, you don\u2019t know that at first. I mean, I\u2019ve learned so many things along the way just by making mistakes.\u201d
\u201dI saw all my kids' symptoms - and my own - just increase like crazy. It was ten fold. It was this giant dose of mold, and I could just clearly see what was impacting them\u2026it made me a huge believer.\u201d
\u201dIt was a very different range of symptoms for each one of us and so it was hard to pinpoint exactly, \u2018Oh, I think our house is making us sick.\u201d
\u201dThe professionals that we\u2019re going to, they don\u2019t always know everything.\u201d
\u201dTrust your instincts. You know yourself best. You know your children best.\u201d
\u201dIf somebody says to investigate mold, you have to do it. Don\u2019t wait like I did because I would have found out sooner!\u201d
\u201dIf you\u2019re suspecting that mold might be an issue, get a test done\u2026Not all tests are made equal.\u201d
\u201dYour body will heal. That\u2019s what our bodies are made to do. Just keep going. There is light at the end of the tunnel.\u201d
