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!

Pleasure-Saturated

We Homo Sapiens are notorious for avoiding pain and seeking pleasure. In fact, we have transformed the planet from a place of scarcity to a place of overwhelming abundance, with ample opportunities to flood our brains with dopamine at every turn.

But over-consuming has consequences: Exposure to prolonged and repeated pleasurable stimuli decreases our capacity to tolerate pain and increases our threshold for experiencing pleasure. 

On today's show: Resetting your neural set point to make dopamine work FOR you, not against you.


Here's a preview:
