The Green Living Now Podcast

Welcome to Green Living Now — where independent-thinking, health-conscious women come to cut through the noise and finally understand what's worth changing, and why.

I'm Amy (Todisco) Hartshorn — green living educator, certified organic farmer, upcoming TEDx speaker, and host of this podcast. I've spent 30+ years helping women detox their homes, clean up their food, and reclaim their health through holistic living.

My own awakening came during pregnancy, when I realized the products I trusted most were the ones I should have questioned first. That moment didn't just change what was under my kitchen sink — it changed everything. I walked away from a nature-deprived NYC life and built something rooted in the earth, on a Vermont organic farm, with my hands in the soil and my eyes wide open.

What I've learned is this: most women don't need more information. They need a framework — a way to decide what matters, what can wait, and what's worth the trade-off. That's what I teach here.

Every episode is a conversation designed to help you see what the industry doesn't want you to notice, trust what your body is already telling you, and take clear, doable action — without perfectionism, without overwhelm.

If you're ready to feel better, think clearer, and live in alignment with what you actually believe — you're in the right place.

“Important and nuanced conversation. Clear, balanced conversations like this help women make informed and confident decisions.”

— Youtube commenter (GlobalMenopauseCollective)

If you want a host who does her homework and delivers practical wisdom for conscious living, Amy’s the real deal.”
