025: NOT Keeping Up with the Joneses

2018-06-19 Mama Minimalist

Ever feel like life is one gigantic competition? (I do, sometimes!)

This week’s guest ISN’T keeping up with the Joneses. She’s happily living the life she WANTS to lead; today, she shows you how to do it, too.

This week, we:

– outline concrete strategies to remove financial obstacles standing in the way of living our best lives,

– discuss the nitty-gritty behind consciously exiting the rat race, and

– offer 3 questions to ask yourself BEFORE veering from life’s standard script, for good.

My guest this week is Alli Owen. She minimized her finances, saved 70-percent of her income + quit her high-powered job. These days she’s traveling around the country in a converted van.

Alli is a gem: She offers nuggets of wisdom for everyone aspiring to live in greater synchronicity with their values.

I’m thrilled to introduce you to Alli Owen!

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!
