066: How a Dry Month Complements Mental Minimalism

Clutter isn't *just* physical stuff. Clutter is old ideas. Clutter is not-so-great habits that don't serve us; clutter is anything that takes us further from our best selves, too. Embarking on a month without alcohol is a powerful way to live a life of intention. Here's how.

Have you ever embarked on a dry month? Would you consider one?

This week we explore the space where minimalism, intentional living + sobriety collide.

My guest this week is blogger Kim Miller. Through the lenses of #winemom + motherhood drinking culture, Kim + I examine the idea that clutter isn’t *just* physical stuff. Clutter is old ideas + habits that don’t serve us. Clutter is anything that takes us out of the moment + away from our best selves, too.

Kim suggests that taking a break from alcohol (or from any habit that isn’t serving you!) is a powerful way to seek a life of intention. Here’s how.

Clutter isn't just physical stuff. It's old ideas, it's habits that don't serve us, its anything that takes us further from our best self; that's why embarking on a dry month is a powerful tool when seeking to live a life of intention.

Nature As Medicine

Are we treating the symptoms of modern life while simultaneously ignoring our habitat?

The average American now spends 93% of their life indoors. But humans evolved for millennia alongside the natural world, and research suggests that our indoor lifestyle is disrupting our sleep, focus and long-term health.

You don’t need a gym membership or expensive workout gear to get your health back on track. On today’s show, Dr. John La Puma argues that all you need is a 17-minute dose of nature, every single day.

Here’s a preview:

[4:00] Modern medicine tends to prioritize intervention over prevention. But why?

[7:30] We’re taught to fear the outdoors, but indoor living can be directly harmful in ways we’re only beginning to understand

[11:30] Why it’s time to view “screen time” as “ultra-processed time”

[16:00] Exactly how a daily dose of morning sunlight resets insulin sensitivity, hunger timing, and prefrontal cortex function

[30:00] Outside exercise is better for you than inside exercise, so take your movement outdoors!
