Learning To Love “Just Enough”

Learning To Love “Just Enough”

It’s human nature to pursue more: More stuff. More money. More professional power. While it’s certainly important to both create and reach goals in life, the mindless pursuit of more leaves many of us feeling depleted.

And when we’re always striving to attain the next big thing? We are effectively removing ourselves from the beauty of the present moment.

On today’s show I’m speaking with blogger Tyler Moore about whether it’s possible to be happy with less and, if so, how.

 

Here’s a preview:

[7:45] The relationship between tidying up your stuff and tidying up your priorities

[10:30] Quieting the voice in your head that yearns for more

[16:00] The unexpected benefits of living with just enough

[25:00] First steps for determining what’s just enough for you

Joy is Resistance

When the world is burning, finding joy can feel impossible—or worse, selfish. How do we make space for celebration without turning a blind eye to reality? Why would we even want to?

While it can feel like a heavy lift, practicing joy is, in fact, an act of resistance. Joy prevents burnout, moves energy, builds solidarity, and promotes resilience.

On today’s show, author Cheryl Leutjen dives into the idea that choosing delight counters the oppressive systems that thrive on our exhaustion, isolation, and apathy.

Here’s a preview:

[5:30] Are we dancing while the Titanic sinks?

[10:00] Grief and anger are essential catalysts for change, but they’re terrible long-term fuels

[15:00] We’re so much more than consumers! Here’s how joy helps us reclaim our full humanity which has been lost under capitalism

[18:00] Community is medicine. We aren’t meant to carry the weight of the world alone!
