Predictors Of Back To School Success

Predictors Of Back To School Success

Welcome to Back To School Week!

In 2023 the average American family will spend $597 per child in anticipation of the upcoming school year. And while new school supplies and fresh outfits can definitely get our children into the school spirit, it’s rest, nutrition, and predictable routines that *actually* predict success.

On today’s show Dr. Rebecca Jackson offers research-backed ways to ensure our children head to school with the best possible foundation.

Here’s a preview:

[2:30] A challenge amplifier: The pandemic’s lasting impacts on our children

[11:30] Practical ways to prioritize rest in your home

[21:00] Packing a healthy lunchbox… ugh! Here’s why you should bother

[29:00] Fresh start or nerve-stressed? Thoughts on easing your child’s back-to-school unknowns

Beyond the Beige

We’ve all seen the images. The stark white rooms, the single designer chair, the perfectly curated capsule wardrobe. We’re told that if we just clear the clutter, we’ll find peace. 

But if we’re not careful, the minimalist aesthetic can become just another thing to buy, another thing to consume. 

On today’s show, Melora Johnson deconstructs the modern minimalist movement so that each of us can move from the clutter-free, beige-everything  minimalist aesthetic to a deeper, more sustainable practice rooted in intentionality.

Here’s a preview: 

[7:30] Feeling that donation high? Here’s why decluttering and donating feels so good in the moment but often fails to stop the cycle of re-accumulation

[11:30] Can authentic minimalism exist in a consumerist culture?

[16:00] Candid thoughts on how and why minimalism has been commercialized

[25:00] How to tell if your minimalism is driving more shopping or actually shrinking your ecological footprint

[28:30] Listen to your whispers!
