Small Changes, Real Impact: Waste Reduction Made Simple with Kimberly Flores

Mar 9, 2026 · 29 min · Ep 6

Recycling can feel confusing, inconvenient… and honestly, pointless at times. So does it actually matter?

In this episode, I sit down with Kimberly Flores, co-owner of fulFILLed Lifestyle Co. to talk about what reducing waste really looks like for real households — not just zero-waste experts.

We cover:

  • How to know what you should recycle

  • The common myth that keeps people from even trying

  • Everyday items most families throw away that could easily be reused or refilled

  • The ONE simple habit you can change this month to reduce waste without overwhelm

This conversation isn’t about becoming an “eco-warrior.” It’s about small, practical swaps that busy moms and families can actually stick with — and why those small shifts matter more than we think.

If you’ve ever wondered whether sustainable living is realistic for your life, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and actionable steps to reduce waste without adding stress to your home.
