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!

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!
