074: How to Live Large by Living with Less

Have a big bucket list but a small-ish bank account? Do you dream in color but get snagged on the details? Many of us aspire to get living, but the minutiae of planning forces us to stand still. Here's *exactly how* to live your best life, especially if your best life varies from the norm.

Have a big bucket list but a small-ish bank account?

Do you dream in color but get snagged on the details? Feel held back by your children?

Many of us aspire to get living, but the minutiae of planning forces us to stand still. That’s why it’s easier to remain stagnant in a life that may (or may not!) light us up.

This week’s guests have mastered the art of intentional living. Despite dubious finances + countless obstacles, Erik + Emily Orton packed up their 5 children, moved onto a sailboat + lived out their wildest dreams. Then they wrote a book about it.

Erik + Emily are on the podcast to inspire you to live your best life, especially if your best life varies from the norm. I ask them how, exactly, they customized their lives to make room for their dreams; they divulge what they’ve learned by living off the grid + why they’d encourage others to do the same, too.

The New York Times named Seven at Sea as a top travel read for summer 2019; even better, Erik + Emily generously brought along a free hardcover copy for one lucky listener.

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!
