Episode 12: Clearing the Air: The Real Story Behind Precision Environmental with Kris Weigal

In this episode of Aligned & Local, I sit down with the incredible Kris Weigal, founder of Precision Environmental—a woman-owned company that's on a mission to create safer, healthier homes by tackling the stuff most people don’t see: mold, air quality, and environmental toxins. But this convo goes way deeper than just remediation. Kris opens up about her unexpected journey into the environmental industry, the personal health challenges that became her "why," and what it really takes to build a purpose-driven business in a male-dominated space. We talk about the emotional weight our homes can carry, the power of creating safe spaces from the inside out, and how Kris is helping families breathe easier—literally and energetically. If you've ever wondered what’s lurking behind your walls (or within your story), this episode is for you. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s packed with insights on healing, home, and heart-led entrepreneurship. 📲 Book a clarity call with me at calendly.com/alignedhomesbykristina.com Connect with me: https://alignedbykristina.com/everythingaligned [https://alignedbykristina.com/everythingaligned?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3Jb9ogN3Mv4RsmEOuwRO_MJYcYnKooa8BWru0Mt3Pe0NZmj4TWlevS8Q4_aem_KHye8gVRiIYz5FbieOzztw] Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/andrey-rossi/seize-the-day License code: 8D8C1Z8OFVPPKLKZ
