Courtney Carver of Be More With Less shares 8 little ways to simplify your life. Episode 1907: 8 Little Ways to Simplify Your Life by Courtney Carver of Be More With Less on Creating A Simple Life Courtney Carver was stopped in her tracks with a scary MS diagnosis after decades of debt, discontent, and trying to do it all. She had to slow down, prioritize her health, and figure out what was really important in her life. She discovered what mattered most by getting rid of everything that didn’t matter at all. In the end it all came down to love and health. She went from a busy, overwhelmed advertising director to spending 2-3 hours every morning taking care of herself, loving her work, and being present and engaged with the people she loves. Her family changed, too. They moved from wanting bigger closets, nicer furniture, and more stuff to downsizing into a 750 sq. ft apartment with no storage. Courtney has written books, courses, and hundreds of articles to help you simplify your life and work so you can focus on what really matters.

Dominique Alessi offers a strategy for dealing with painful emotions. Episode 1902: Let's Get Meta: A Strategy for Dealing with Painful Emotions by Dominique Alessi on Mindfulness Dominique Alessi is a former ballerina, a software project manager, and a wellness coach. Although she was interested in health for a long time, it took years of anxiety and burnout, and a demanding Silicon Valley career, to realize her approach was way too complicated. And so her quest for simplicity began. ​She reoriented herself around the fundamentals of wellness, and started filtering out anything more complicated. She crafted systems and routines to streamline her life and reduce her reliance on memory and willpower. She cultivated a deeper awareness of her personal tendencies and the habit-change strategies that would work best for her. ​ Now, she's sharing these things with you—the realizations, the systems, and the hacks—so that you can lead a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life (without burning out in the process).

Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog shares two short posts on what happens when we believe in ourselves and the value of trusting yourself. Episode 1894: The Things That Happen When We Believe in Ourselves AND On Trusting Yourself by Katie Ping Katie Ping is a small-town writer, yogi, and mama who values simplicity. She spent decades of her life people-pleasing and drowning in guilt and shame over parts of her that she thought were unworthy. By her late-20s, she found herself passionless and riddled with anxiety - and she knew she needed a change. Instead of creating a multi-layered plan on how to attain more peace, she started small - with a walking meditation practice. Those 15 minutes of strolling in silence down a tree-lined residential street led her to where she is today - facing her fears of imperfection and doing it anyway.
