Feelanthrope

With the average American home containing over 300,000 items, it's no wonder why so many of us struggle with clutter. Despite what advertisers and marketers tell us, our lives are more than what we buy or the stuff we own. This week, we chat with Rosey Williams about living mindfully, voting with our dollars, and the business case for diverting our waste streams away from landfills.

As first-generation Americans, what we want for ourselves can often be at odds with our family's expectations. East meets west, and cultures collide.

This episode also includes a bonus conversation between Alex and Ally following the interview.
