The Expert Dependency Cycle
What You Really Need
I Get It—Because I’ve Been There
I used to stand in store aisles for 20 minutes, paralyzed by conflicting advice about what was “safe” for my family.
You’re drowning in expert opinions that contradict each other. One blog says this ingredient is toxic, another says it’s fine. You want to make better choices for your family’s health, but every product search leads to more confusion, not clarity. The “clean living” world feels like an expensive, anxiety-inducing club where perfection is the only acceptable standard. You’re tired of depending on other people’s recommendations that don’t fit your budget, your lifestyle, or your family’s specific needs.
As an engineer, I’m trained to solve problems systematically—but when my own health crisis forced me to evaluate every product in my home, I realized families needed the same logical approach I use at work, just simplified for real life. After two years of developing and testing practical evaluation methods, I’ve helped hundreds of families build the confidence to make their own informed decisions without the overwhelm or expert dependency.
I can teach you the same systematic approach that transformed me from an anxious, overwhelmed consumer into a confident decision-maker who trusts her own judgment about what’s safe for her family.
