067: 10 Handbag Essentials for On-the-Go Sustainability

Plastic forks. Napkins. Do you inadvertently produce excess trash when out-and-about? Here are 10 essential handbag items for on-the-go sustainability.


 

So you’ve slashed into the trash your household produces. (That’s great!)

But what about when you’re out + about? Are you conscious of garbage when you’re on-the-go?

The truth is this: Strategic handbags go a *long way* toward low-waste or zero-waste living. It’s easier than it sounds, too: I carry everything I need for eating out, doing errands + stopping anywhere spontaneous in my medium-sized shoulder bag.

On today’s episode I divulge the ten items I keep with me at all times to ensure that I adhere to zero-waste living while on-the-go.

Unhappy? You're Normal

Cultural messaging and suggests you should be happy all the time. But your "happy chemicals"—dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin—evolved to motivate survival behavior, not make you happy.

In fact, unhappiness is your brain's default state.

On today's show Dr. Loretta Breuning argues that you can manage your happy chemicals when you know how they work in the state of nature, and she's here to show us how.

Here's a preview:

[9:00] Serotonin is about social dominance. Enter comparison and competition

[13:00] Want a dose of oxytocin? Be part of a herd

[15:30] Endorphin is the brain's natural opioid. But you can habituate to it!

[18:00] Just got something you want? That flood of happiness is dopamine's doing, but dopamine runs out

[25:00] We are living in an era of immense abundance. So why aren't we happy?
