025: NOT Keeping Up with the Joneses

Concrete strategies for eliminating financial obstacles on our minimalist journeys.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!

Saying No To New

New things are everywhere—and they’re causing us to disconnect from what we value most.

In a world that constantly tells us that new is better, our relentless pursuit of material wealth is costing us money, time and happiness. Worse, when we define ourselves by what we own rather than who we are, we reduce our lives to a single, superficial dimension.

On today’s show, New York Times journalist Eric Athas offers advice for stepping away from the cycle of constant buying, saying no to shallowness, and discovering the right kind of “new” in our lives.

Here's a preview:

[8:00] We're wired to become bored the familiar, and other truths to newness

[16:00] Consumption has costs! (In fact, it robs us of our finite attention, dilutes our capacity for genuine enjoyment, and misaligns our pursuit of happiness.)

[26:00] Musings on the ways in which overconsumption leads to superficiality

[37:00] Put down the trinket! Redefining what it means to experience novelty, growth, and freshness without relying on a transaction
