039: Finding Time for your ‘Why’

039: Finding Time for your ‘Why’

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast we discuss purposeful living by identifying 5 areas in which we can all cut back.

“I was tired. Often I felt like I was barely getting by. I kept thinking to myself, ‘Why am I spending my precious time + remaining energy doing things that don’t add value to my life?”

For most of us, life is busy. Too busy, in fact, to do the things we love with the people who matter most. 

This week, we’re adding by subtracting. We identify 5 specific time-suckers in modern life, then we outline strategies to mindfully let go of anything + everything keeping us from living our values.

On this week’s episode I’m thrilled to chat with a veteran guest of this show, Laura Durenberger. Laura’s an intentional mom + blographer who comes armed to our discussion with 5 incremental tweaks we can *all* make to live with purpose. 

Enjoy!
