When we let go of what doesn't serve us, we remove weight that holds us down. On today's show we turn to Zen Buddhism for wisdom on letting go of anxiety about the future, grudges, stuff, dead relationships, and more.
Here's a preview:
[4:00] Insanely anxious about the future? (Me too!) Don't spend your energy worrying; do this instead
[12:00] Think of decluttering not as throwing stuff away; think of it instead as setting your stuff (and yourself!) free
[19:00] How to let go of lost friendships and relationships, straight from the mouths of Buddhist monks
[26:00] Holding a grudge requires vast amounts of energy so become skilled at forgetting
[34:00] You're going to get to where you're meant to go, so there's no need to second-guess your choices

The Sustainable Minimalists Podcast is for women who want tidiness without trash.
Although minimalism has experienced a rebirth in recent years, the “less is more” movement has been around for centuries. Yet today’s minimalist influencers have resurrected minimalism with a decidedly consumerist spin, as modern minimalism is nearly synonymous with decluttering.
While there’s a lot of chatter about tidying, it’s radio silence and crickets when it comes to sustainability.
Stephanie Seferian is a stay-at-home/podcast-from-home mom and author who believes that minimalism and eco-friendliness are intrinsically intertwined. She’s here to explore the topics of conscious consumerism, sustainability, and environmentally-friendly parenting practices with like-minded women; she’s here, too, to show you how to curate eco-friendly, decluttered homes (without the extra work).
