013: The How + Why of Turning off ‘The Noise’

How to reduce junk mail, cell phone noise, email spam and television commercials with simple, actionable strategies.

Want to reduce junk mail and spam without added stress? Want to tune out commercials and robo calls so that you can live a quieter, simpler life?

Me too.

Marketers + advertisers are pros at making us feel as though we need items we don’t already have. Their Noise shows up in our mailboxes and inboxes and on our television sets and cell phones.

The Noise is catchy slogans. Promotions. Pretty people. Glitz; faux Glamour. The Noise is junk ads and junk claims.

The Noise entices us to buy more, more, more. The Noise takes us out of the moment; The Noise prevents us from living our best and most authentic lives.

It’s time to hit Mute.

On today’s episode we tackle 4 means by which The Noise sneaks into our daily lives – though junk mail, cell phones, e-mail and television – then I offer simple, actionable strategies to both tune it out + turn it all off.

Joy is Resistance

When the world is burning, finding joy can feel impossible—or worse, selfish. How do we make space for celebration without turning a blind eye to reality? Why would we even want to?

While it can feel like a heavy lift, practicing joy is, in fact, an act of resistance. Joy prevents burnout, moves energy, builds solidarity, and promotes resilience.

On today’s show, author Cheryl Leutjen dives into the idea that choosing delight counters the oppressive systems that thrive on our exhaustion, isolation, and apathy.

Here’s a preview:

[5:30] Are we dancing while the Titanic sinks?

[10:00] Grief and anger are essential catalysts for change, but they’re terrible long-term fuels

[15:00] We’re so much more than consumers! Here’s how joy helps us reclaim our full humanity which has been lost under capitalism

[18:00] Community is medicine. We aren’t meant to carry the weight of the world alone!
