066: How a Dry Month Complements Mental Minimalism

Clutter isn't *just* physical stuff. Clutter is old ideas. Clutter is not-so-great habits that don't serve us; clutter is anything that takes us further from our best selves, too. Embarking on a month without alcohol is a powerful way to live a life of intention. Here's how.

Have you ever embarked on a dry month? Would you consider one?

This week we explore the space where minimalism, intentional living + sobriety collide.

My guest this week is blogger Kim Miller. Through the lenses of #winemom + motherhood drinking culture, Kim + I examine the idea that clutter isn’t *just* physical stuff. Clutter is old ideas + habits that don’t serve us. Clutter is anything that takes us out of the moment + away from our best selves, too.

Kim suggests that taking a break from alcohol (or from any habit that isn’t serving you!) is a powerful way to seek a life of intention. Here’s how.

Clutter isn't just physical stuff. It's old ideas, it's habits that don't serve us, its anything that takes us further from our best self; that's why embarking on a dry month is a powerful tool when seeking to live a life of intention.

Roads Less Travelled

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
