071: Conscious Consumerism for Real People

Conscious consumers make deliberate, informed choices instead of mindlessly buying items they think they need. They know they have purchasing power, too, as such, they aspire to improve the world with their dollars. Want to be more intentional with your purchases? Here's how! 4 concrete resources within.

Conscious consumers are so much more than review-checkers.

They don’t have their credit card information saved on Amazon. They’re not swayed by “deals” or “sales”, either.

Conscious consumers don’t walk the shopping mall for fun + they certainly don’t follow marketplace trends.

You’ve heard the term but – still! – its definition remains ambiguous. What is a conscious consumer, exactly?

This week, I’m thrilled to identify key traits of intentional shoppers. I show you exactly how you can be one, too, with 4 easy-ish tricks + resources.

Enjoy!
