Description

Creating eco-minimalist, non-toxic homes (without the extra work). 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. The result? Aspiring minimalists find themselves on an endless hamster wheel of buying, decluttering, buying more, and purging again. Overemphasizing decluttering and underemphasizing the reasons why we overbuy in the first place is thoroughly inconsistent with slow living as a movement; consumption without intention is terrible for the planet, too. Your host, Stephanie Seferian, is a stay-at-home/podcast-from-home mom and author who believes that minimalism, eco-friendliness, and non-toxic living 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).

This is a great episode. This year I gave my sond who are both excellent cooks 2nd hand cookbooks. My home-made spice mixes layered into pre used glass jars.. they look so pretty with the different colour and textures of the spices.. Then they just shake and make a tagine or a curry without having to buy 10 different spices.. jars of home-made sauces and pickles.. the loved it.. it's so personal..

Really struggling with this episode, and this podcast in general. Stephanie speaks like an authority on all things with barely citing sources, if at all, AND she assumes her listeners know what she's talking about. "And if you're not sure you believe me, I'm going to give you a couple examples. In child development, there is a phenomenon called, 'The Goldilocks Effect'..." and then she continues on and on without citing Psychology Today. Sure, she put the link in the show notes, but she's asking listeners to believe HER instead of the source. The first 9 minutes is essentially her rewording the "Moderation is the Key to Life" Psychology Today article. Later, she quickly mentions enneagram types 8, 7 and 1 with little to no context, and then immediately moved on to Sweden and "lagom". An explanatory comma would be helpful here as I'm pretty sure not everyone knows what their enneagram is. If you're trying to persuade listeners, you need to take them on a journey with facts, feelings and

This is such an important conversation, and I am so happy to see it here on this podcast, but I have to acknowledge the irony of hosting a guest to talk about privilege and interrupting their answers instead of just letting them finish.

It would have been interesting to hear a bit about emissions from internet use when it comes to online shopping. in the end I think what and how much you buy is more important than how you buy it. Just because you don't return that ill-fitting shirt from an online shopping-spree doesn't necessarily make it more environmentally friendly than one you tried on at the mall and actually use. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/aug/12/carbon-footprint-internet Anyway, usually love your podcast, but I didn't wholeheartedly agree with the focus of this one. 😊

I've listened to several episodes of this podcast and just got half way through this episode when I had to stop. While I understand that many women have decide to have children, many other women choose not to. My husband and I decided not to have children and I have several married friends who have also made the choice not to have children. while listening to this episode I realized that I couldn't relate to the guest, who was assuming that the listener is a parent, which I am not. I am a 33 year old woman and was hoping to learn about self-care and successful mornings, which the host said in the beginning had nothing to do with getting kids up, so I kept listening. the guest related nearly everything to being a parent, but the final straw when she brought Bravo TV into it and said it was really terrible...oh no ma'am, that's personal! besides this complaint, the podcast is good but I wish the host and guests wouldn't assume that everyone has the same life that they have.
