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 week, I’m dabbling in the concepts of minimalists kitchens + minimalist cooking with simplicity wellness coach Mirley Guerra Graf. Mirley believes that healthy living starts in a minimalist kitchen; I agree.

On April 22, 193 countries celebrate Earth Day. The premise of the holiday is great, right? It’s a day dedicated to planting trees. Picking up trash. Recycling. But there’s a big problem with Earth Day, and it’s this: It’s just one day out of 365, then it’s over. When it comes to the state of our planet, there’s not much to celebrate; that’s why I suggest we honor Mother Nature differently. This Earth Day, let’s NOT pick up trash. Let’s stop producing it, instead. On this episode, I’m delighted to offer 5 action steps for those just beginning their eco-minimalist journey followed by 5 advanced strategies for those looking to up their sustainability game.

Excessively Convenient

Excessively Convenient

2024-03-1256:34

There's convenience, and then there's *excessive* convenience. While some modern conveniences are indeed necessary and needed, the excessive ones can be detrimental to ourselves and society as a whole. Items and services of convenience are often substitutes for supportive culture and connection. On today's show historian Jennifer Newton and I discuss how culture - and specifically excessively convenient, disposable culture - perpetuates itself; we also muse on what to do if the prevailing culture no longer "fits". Here's a preview: [5:00] How'd we get here? A brief history of the Convenience Industrial Complex in America [10:00] Weak ties, strong ties, and 3 ways convenience culture reduces social connection [23:00] The average American watches 4 hours of TV a day.

Yoga pants, baby! Athleisure is a fashion trend that features comfortable, flattering, and aesthetically pleasing athletic clothing designed to be worn all day. And while many of us turned to athleisure during the pandemic and never went back, athleisure has a dirty little secret: petroleum-based fibers. On today's show former Athleta senior fashion designer Nancy Taylor outlines what needs to happen systemically to make the the fashion industry circular; she also introduces bio-based textile innovations in the athleisure space that we all should be paying attention to.  Here's a preview: [6:00] From a fashion designer's perspective, here's why athleisure is so darn amazing [12:00] What's the fashion industry's biggest problem: is it that too many products are being produced, or is that consumers simply consuming too much?

No Topsoils, No Food

No Topsoils, No Food

2024-03-0535:03

Soil grows 95 percent of our food and sustains human life. But monocrops, pesticide reliance, and other modern farming methods have degraded soil health in lasting ways. Some scientists believe we have less than 60 harvests left.  The way we are feeding ourselves is undermining the very ecology we’re dependent upon. The hope? Regenerative farming. On today's show Kiss The Ground's Chief Executive Officer Evan Harrison urges each of us to participate in the regenerative movement. Here's a preview: [6:00] A laundry list of all the consequences associated with degraded soil [10:00] The main reason why pesticides are a staple of the monocrop farming model, plus: what science says about degraded soil and a food's nutrient density [19:00] For people who buy and eat food (aka everyone), here's how you can support regenerative agriculture Resource mentioned: Kiss The Ground film -- Join our (free!) community here.

Sustainable Seafood?

Sustainable Seafood?

2024-02-2239:22

Billions of people worldwide rely on seafood for nutrition and economic livelihood, but 90 percent of fish populations are currently overfished. Your seafood choices matter, and buying responsibly is one of the most important ways you can contribute to healthier oceans.

Reminder to my fellow moms: You don't have to do it all. Studies have shown for decades that women in heterosexual partnerships are responsible for the "invisible labor" at home. Not surprisingly, carrying the lion's share of the burden has oversized impacts on women's mental health. The solution sounds simple: Divvying up domestic responsibilities decreases resentment and increases family cohesion. But how do we best encourage our partners and children to participate in the work of the home for the long haul? It's not gendered work; it's the work of the family and all should contribute. On today's show Lori Sugarman-Li encourages us to release the need to do everything; she also calls on our partners and children to step up and participate in the essential - yet sadly unpaid! - work of the home. Here's a preview: [6:30] Semi-disturbing stats re: impacts of inequitable unpaid labor on women's wellness [9:00] Defining family flow: How can we best change a family's flow if the flow isn't working for everyone?

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.
