From Green To Clean

There comes a time when we’re simultaneously sick of all the greenwashing and angry at the snail’s pace in which change tends to occur. Because while doing our best within our homes is indeed impactful, it does little to create large-scale change.

If you’re dedicated to leaving the world a better place than you found it, you’re ready to become an advocate.

Today’s show is the second in a two-part series about creating a marketplace that puts consumers — not mega corporations! — first, and I’m speaking with podcaster Jessica Brennan about her transition from quiet-but-crunchy parent to loud-and-proud advocate. Jessica was pivotal in the passing of the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) which is the first substantial update to cosmetic laws since 1938.

Here’s a preview:

[5:00] How to know when you’re ready to take your frustration and do something with it outside of your home

[18:00] Want to be an advocate but don’t want to picket? Here’s how

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!
