To Replace Or Not To Replace

To Replace Or Not To Replace

Countless online articles jammed with affiliate links entice readers to modernize. To swap what’s working with something better. To stay relevant with the sleekest and newest. Some such guides even amplify the health and safety benefits associated with upgrading certain home items. But is replacement our only option? How can consumers truly know?

On today’s show we take 8 common household items and ask the singular question: Do we *really* need to swap out these items with newer models?

Here’s a preview:

[3:00] Should we actually replace our toilet bowl brushes on the regular (or is a simple cleaning enough)?

[7:00] What’s the truth when it comes to replacing personal care products?

[16:00] Hold up: do surge protecters need replacing?

[22:00] Let’s talk cutting boards

[26:00] All-things mattresses … again

[29;00] Everything you need to know about the efficacy of your smoke alarms

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
