031: The Art of Saying ‘No’

031: The Art of Saying ‘No’

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists Podcast we outline the nuts and bolts behind intentional living. We offer concrete strategies to confront the status quo, too.

“Live less out of habit + more out of intent.”

If you follow me on social media, you already know this is my personal mantra. I recite it over + over when choices are hard; it’s this mantra we’re discussing today.

My guest today is Jen Panaro. She’s the founder of Honestly Modern, an online brand that focuses on sustainable living for modern families. She’s a mom with a full-time 9 to 5 who has gotten quite skilled at rethinking the status quo, too.

Today we have an open + (very) honest conversation. Jen details strategies to confront our habits + say NO to obligations + YES to intentional living, all with a great, big smile.

Enjoy!

Revisiting The Capsule Wardrobe Conversation

Have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? While capsule wardrobes are often touted as the singular solution to closet overwhelm, many report that they can be restrictive, boring and, frankly, unrealistic in practice.

A minimalist closet is best served by first identifying the outfits needed to live YOUR unique life. On today's show podcaster Lauren Morley shows us how to streamline our wardrobes, say goodbye to clutter, and feel effortlessly put together every day by focusing less on capsules and more on a 20 outfit wardrobe, instead.

 

Here's a preview:

[11:00] Why doesn't buying more clothes solve the problems associated with getting dressed? Conversely, why isn't decluttering the singular solution?

[16:00] Say goodbye to capsule wardrobes and hello to your 20 outfit wardrobe

[20:00] Getting to the root of our cultural reverence for bottomless closets

[28:00] The trend cycle is not your friend, so hop off that bandwagon!
