017: Financial Freedom + Minimalism

017: Financial Freedom + Minimalism

Financial freedom and minimalism with Rose Lounsbury.

“I used to be … a Sport Shopper. I loved to shop for fun. I would just go shopping and there was never really a plan, I would just go shopping and I would buy what was on sale even though I didn’t need it, and I would fill my closet and home with things I didn’t need.”

Sound familiar?

This week, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Rose Lounsbury, a minimalism coach, author + self-described former Sport Shopper. We dive deep into her trademarked decluttering method; we get a little silly, too.

On this episode, we:

– Define the key differences between shopping for fun + shopping for purpose.

– Muse about the evolution of the eco-minimalist movement.

– Detail action-oriented techniques for getting a reluctant spouse + kids on board with minimalism.

Be sure to hang out until the end of the episode for a powerful takeaway: Rose lists 7 key questions to ask yourself before discarding any item (trust me; they’re good!).

Lights Out

Fossil fuels power our modern lives, and yet fossil fuels are also powering global warming. Because many of us lack the self-sufficient skills necessary to survive an extended power outage event, we are one thing and one thing only: vulnerable.

We have become over-reliant on the very thing that's destroying our planet. On today's show: Imagining the ways in which modern life, interpersonal connections, well-being and more would change in a hypothetical, fossil fuel-free world.

 

Here's a preview:

[6:00] We are so reliant on electricity that we are incapacitated without it. This is a problem!

[11:00] In the event of a 2-weeks plus outage, modernity would look a lot different

[24:00] Is minimalism late stage capitalism personified?

[28:00] Without fossil fuels, we'd be circular

[30:00] What research says with regard to the wellness benefits of working with our hands
