064: How to Shop Secondhand the 21st Century Way

These days, it's easier than ever to shop secondhand. Add to your wardrobe the eco-friendly way with these tips + tricks.

Let me guess: You like the *idea* of thrifting as a means of preserving both your hard-earned money + the planet.

But in practice, things get muddled. Who has the time, energy or desire to sift through mounds of less-than-ideal garments in search of a genuine find?

Here’s the good news: These days, it’s easier than ever to shop secondhand.

My guest this week is Lauren Spraggins. She’s a fashion reseller who searches for, cleans, mends + presses secondhand items. Thanks to fashion resellers like Lauren, resurrecting once-loved garments is now accessible to the average time-crunched consumer.

Learn tricks of the reselling trade + how, exactly, you can benefit in this week’s episode.

Enjoy!

How To Let Stuff Go

When we let go of what doesn't serve us, we remove weight that holds us down. On today's show we turn to Zen Buddhism for wisdom on letting go of anxiety about the future, grudges, stuff, dead relationships, and more.

Here's a preview:

[4:00] Insanely anxious about the future? (Me too!) Don't spend your energy worrying; do this instead

[12:00] Think of decluttering not as throwing stuff away; think of it instead as setting your stuff (and yourself!) free

[19:00] How to let go of lost friendships and relationships, straight from the mouths of Buddhist monks

[26:00] Holding a grudge requires vast amounts of energy so become skilled at forgetting

[34:00] You're going to get to where you're meant to go, so there's no need to second-guess your choices
