Electromagnetic fields are often dismissed as a secondary concern in the healthy home conversation, especially when mold feels like the obvious threat. In this episode, Ashley Spanovich invites listeners to look deeper. She explores how invisible electromagnetic fields, particularly radio frequency radiation, quietly shape our nervous systems, mitochondrial health, and ability to truly heal from mold and other chronic stressors.

Drawing from her personal health journey and professional training as an electromagnetic radiation specialist, Ashley breaks down what EMFs actually are, why current safety standards are deeply flawed, and how constant digital noise keeps the body locked in survival mode. This episode is both an education and an invitation: to become a skeptic, to ask better questions, and to reclaim your home and body as places of regulation, restoration, and clarity. If you are detoxing from mold, managing chronic symptoms, building or renovating a home, or simply feeling overstimulated and exhausted by modern life, this conversation offers grounding insight and practical next steps.

What actually matters when you’re trying to understand mold in your home, and how much of the fear around it is truly warranted? In this episode, Ashley sits down with John Skelly, a Council-Certified Indoor Environmental Consultant with over 20 years of experience, to unpack what most people get wrong about mold inspections, remediation, and healthy homes.

Together, they explore the difference between awareness and alarmism, why so many homes don’t need to be “burned down,” and how a calm, holistic, and phased approach can dramatically change both outcomes and nervous systems. John shares what he sees every day inside real homes, from dust reservoirs and poorly managed basements to renovation mistakes hidden behind walls, and explains how homeowners can become empowered advocates rather than overwhelmed patients. This conversation is for anyone navigating mold sensitivity, health challenges, renovations, or simply wanting to understand their home at a deeper, more responsible level.

This week’s episode is part personal story, part building-science wake-up call. Ashley shares a tender reflection on her dad’s legacy, her family’s roots in small-business grit, and how those early years walking construction sites shaped the work she does today. From there, she unpacks one of the biggest misconceptions she sees in renovation projects: the near-total disregard for what’s happening inside our walls.

If you’re planning a renovation, whether you’re adding a small addition or tearing your home back to studs, this episode gives you the foundational lens you need before choosing fixtures, finishes, or appliances. You’ll learn why building envelopes fail, how architects and builders often miss critical details, and what questions every homeowner should be asking to protect the longevity, comfort, and health of their home.
