Having a parent who struggles with an addiction is a challenge in and of itself. Losing that parent is a whole other kind of challenge. Finding a way to learn valuable lessons in order to shape my life in a better direction than my parent’s? Well, that really seemed like the only option. At the end of the day, while it might not be a popular opinion, my dad’s death shaped my life more than anything he ever said or did while he was alive. Whether you’ve lost a parent or not, I encourage you to tune in because you just might start looking at life, and hardships a little differently after this.

Basic B*tch Seeks Enlightenment - Ep. 133: Basic B*tch Seeks Enlightenment Take One
play

08/12/24 • 13 min

I've spent the last seven years talking about minimalism, and decluttering my life, but the reality is, it has been so much more than that. Before I decided to downsize my stuff, I first decided I needed to find myself. Sure, I was a shopaholic with a monthly shoe membership subscription, but I knew there was so much more to me than that. After spending almost three decades trying to be who I thought everyone else wanted me to be, I set out on a mission to find out who I really was. This podcast, is my diary - on a decade delay.

Basic B*tch Seeks Enlightenment - Ep 14: Organization Lies We Need to Stop Believing

04/04/22 • 18 min

Even the most well-meaning people can get caught up in the tangled web of organization and minimalism especially when first getting started. I myself believed every lie Pinterest told me about what my house needed to look like -- and how much time I had available to dedicate to organization. At the end of the day is organizing our entire house even worth it? Hopefully today's episode will offer some insight.

YOLO Living might be an outdated term these days but it is still very much something a lot of us buy into as a good way to live. This podcast is me pleading with you to reconsider! If you are spending each day as if it is your last, you are most definitely more focused on dying than on living. Here is how to flip this around.

Burnout Almost Got Me...Again. But, I'm Back!

I have faced burnout several times in my life and I just can’t seem to stop myself. However, I think I’m brave enough to say that I’m finally done with that part of my life. My latest pursuit is finding fun without attaching monetary gain or external expectations to any of it.

How can we go after the calling on our hearts without making it work?

What can we do to set RULES around having fun? Seriously, it’s a lot less lame than it sounds, I promise.

Lastly, and kind of most importantly...how can we know what is REALLY fun and what isn’t — because I think we get this wrong way too often.
