048: The Zero-Waste Swaps that Save Serious Cash

048: The Zero-Waste Swaps that Save Serious Cash

Keep your cash in your pocket with these zero-waste swaps that save serious money.

Companies have most consumers hooked on pre-packaged disposables.

But sustainable minimalists? We know better:

– We know that disposable items (Think: paper napkins, menstrual products, etc) boast hefty price tags.

– We know, too, that companies selling disposables are secretly doing the Happy Dance for creating REPEAT CUSTOMERS out of regular consumers.

There’s a better way! On today’s episode my guest + I boldly claim that a life without disposables saves *serious* cash.

My guest this week is Natassja Cassinerio. She invites us to save our hard-earned money by replacing 40 common household items with their greener counterparts, then she shows us how.

Enjoy!

Cultural Uniformity

Something semi-sad happens as we age: We lose our nimbleness. So many of us white-knuckle grip long-held habits and beliefs and thus fail to question whether such routines and ideas are working in our best interests. Worse, such rigidity goes directly against our "factory settings" as human beings: As a species, we fully live when we prioritize resilience, light-footedness, and fearlessness. (Don't believe me? Just observe a child!)

On today's show: embracing fresh starts, prioritizing roads less travelled, and unpacking pressures associated with cultural uniformity with author and podcaster Shannon Leyko


Here's a preview:

[23:00] Timelines are rarely linear, and "starting over" isn't starting back at square one

[30:00] Common struggles associated with living unconventionally in a conventional world
