Episode 03: Buying a Home? Don’t Miss These Red Flags

Buying a new home can be exciting, but also dangerous if you don’t know what to look for. In this episode of The Awakening Spaces Podcast, Ashley Spanovich walks you through the top environmental and structural red flags to be aware of before purchasing a home, especially if you’re prioritizing health, low-tox living, and long-term safety.

This episode goes far beyond aesthetic appeal and home inspection basics. Ashley offers a comprehensive guide to investigating what's around and underneath a property, things most inspectors miss but can have serious consequences for your well-being and wallet. Whether you're chemically sensitive, healing from mold illness, or just want to make an empowered, educated decision, this episode is your roadmap to confidently vetting your future home.
