The Lowest of the Lows to the Highest of the Highs - PJ Harlow, Holistic Home Consultant

The Lowest of the Lows to the Highest of the Highs - PJ Harlow, Holistic Home Consultant

Author: Andrew Pace October 22, 2025 Duration: 1:00:00

It's been a while since I've been in front of the microphone and recorded an episode of the show. I'm really excited to get back into it now that the cooler months have come to us. Summer is over, unfortunately, at least for us here in the upper Midwest. But I want to bring to you another wonderful interview with a friend of mine in the industry. You may know her, I'm sure most of you do.PJ Harlow.

PJ is a holistic indoor environmental consultant. She really got into this because of her own unbelievably tragic situation in her own space. And it's funny how so many folks that I talked to kind of came into this because of that. This is not something that you study in school. You don't go to college and say, I'm going to be a mold inspector. It's usually something that happens in your house, something that triggers serious health concerns with family. And so PJ is going to talk to us today about how this came about in her household and why she decided that she needed to do something about this for others and gives us a great group of tips and tricks, things to look for, items that she can help with. And like I say, I really consider her a friend, a colleague in this space, and I am sure you're going to enjoy our conversation.
