The Non-Toxic Home Blueprint: Jenna Steffens Mayer on Healthier Living

The Non-Toxic Home Blueprint: Jenna Steffens Mayer on Healthier Living

Author: Erin Sykes January 15, 2026 Duration: 40:01

In Episode 2 of BUILT DIFFERENT, Erin Sykes sits down with Jenna Steffens Mayer to talk about the connection between health, home, and the environments we live in.

Jenna is a real estate professional and co-founder of MayerWorks Construction, where she and her husband build non-toxic homes designed with long-term wellness in mind.

After becoming severely ill from black mold exposure, Jenna was forced to confront how deeply our living spaces can impact our health, leading to the decision to build a home that prioritized clean air, safe materials, and prevention rather than remediation.

Erin and Jenna unpack why mold often goes undetected, why testing can be misleading, and what people should be paying attention to.

BUILT DIFFERENT with Erin Sykes examines the often-unseen frameworks that dictate our daily decisions and long-term trajectories. This isn't just a business podcast about balance sheets; it's a deep dive into the architecture of our choices. Erin Sykes guides conversations that connect tangible domains like real estate and investment strategy with the more intimate forces at play-the psychology behind a sale, the habits embedded in our shopping, and the dynamics within our personal relationships. Every episode is built on the premise that these areas are not separate silos but interconnected systems. Listeners will find a blend of sharp market analysis, discussions on money mindset, and candid personal stories that reveal how principles of value creation apply universally. The throughline is a sophisticated yet accessible curiosity about how we assemble a life of meaning and substance, piece by piece. Tune in for a podcast that consistently challenges conventional wisdom, offering not just answers but better questions about the foundations we choose to build upon.
