All-Things Eggs

There’s lots to consider when buying eggs. What does “humanely raised” mean, exactly, and are free-range eggs actually worth the extra cost?

As it turns out, there are many misleading claims on egg cartons. On today’s short and sweet episode I’m answering listener Lauren’s question about intentional egg purchasing. My goal is to arm you with facts – not marketing gimmicks! – so that you can confidently spend in ways aligned with your values the next time you’re at your farmer’s market or grocery store.

  1. Hi Stephanie –

    I am a septuagenarian with minimal cyber skills. Sorry, I couldn’t find how to give you a thumbs up or a review. I did enjoy this discussion of eggs, and I’m glad to see that I basically buy my eggs from the farmers market, or from the same farmers, who supply our small organic grocery store.

  2. Correction to my previous comment: “glad to say” (not “see”) !

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
