023: Minimalism + The Mental Load

023: Minimalism + The Mental Load

discuss the ways in which minimalism and the mental load intersect.

Everyone’s talking about the mental load these days.

On today’s episode, we analyze the ways in which this endless To-Do List + minimalism collide.

My guest this week is Leslie Forde. She divulges takeaways she’s gained from her data-driven approach to studying the mental load; she gets deeply personal, too.

This week, we:

– Describe EXACTLY HOW the mental load erodes well-being,

– Prioritize the needs of busy women, and

– Reveal the real reason why I started this podcast (It isn’t for the reasons you think!).

This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about what’s at the heart of the minimalist movement. Enjoy!

The "Away" Illusion

Ever wonder where your bags of donated clothes actually end up?

Most of us treat dropping off a bag at a donation bin like a magic trick. We hand it over, walk away, and assume it finds a good home.

But very often, away is Kantamanto Market in Accra, Ghana, where 15 million secondhand garments arrive every single week.

On today’s show, contemporary artist Emmanuel “DoTT” Kunfaa pulls back the curtain on the dark side of donating and highlights they ways in which the illusion of charity is feeding waste colonialism.

 

Here's a preview:
