Living On Purpose

2023-04-19 Mama Minimalist

Welcome to Living On Purpose week!

Living on purpose isn’t about changing who you are; it’s about rising up and becoming the best version of you. But amidst the chaotic rush of our days it’s easy to get caught up in the “doing”. And when we hyper-focus on doing, we often neglect the important and intentional act of reflection.

Today best-selling author Tanya Dalton brings us both cutting-edge research and practical inspiration to help you find the unhurried purpose that’s hidden in your days.

Stay tuned for Thursday’s related episode in which we discuss how to break a bad habit, for good.

On today's show Sarene Alsharif reveals the harsh realities associated with jeans production; she also shares practical strategies for transforming this wardrobe staple into a sustainable solution.
