    Going Deeper: Choosing Quality Over Quantity (In Most Things) Can Improve Wellbeing with Oliver Amdrup

    Going Deeper: Choosing Quality Over Quantity (In Most Things) Can Improve Wellbeing with Oliver Amdrup

    Going Deeper episodes will be less structured with a more conversational tone. These conversations will focus on interesting people I've come across that share similar values, perspectives and intentions expressed on the Minimalist Moms Podcast.
    Joining me for today is founder of Puori, Oliver Amdrup. Oliver is passionate about health and wellness, with a mission to bring transparency to the food supplement industry. He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing quality over quantity and highlights the need for consumers to be aware of potential contamination in their food and supplements. As an entrepreneur and father of three, Oliver shares his approach to living an intentional life, which includes reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the future. He also discusses the principles of stoicism and how they can be practically applied in daily life.

    Personal Wellness is NOT About Other People with Cara Clark (EP336)

    Personal Wellness is NOT About Other People with Cara Clark (EP336)

    "Feeling good starts with food. When you eat in a way that nourishes your body, you don’t experience cravings and you don’t feel hungry, restricted, or deprived. You feel satisfied and energized. You begin to crave the food that makes you feel good. As you begin to feel better from the inside, your mind becomes clearer. You start to feel hope, and that feeling of hope opens up all kinds of possibilities for your health and your life." - Cara Clark
    Joining me today is renowned nutritionist and wellness educator, Cara Clark. From advising A-list celebrities to guiding Olympic athletes, Cara has helped her clients feel better in their bodies by moving away from “dieting” and instead understanding the connection between what we eat and how we feel. In this episode, we dive into various topics such as limiting information consumption, regulating blood sugar, navigating indulgences (while maintaining self-awareness), understanding disordered eating, embracing movement that resonates with you, and much more.

    Becoming Homeschoolers with Monica Swanson (Bonus Episode)

    For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all backgrounds that listen to the podcast. If this episode is something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week about mental health advocacy with Zachariah Thompson or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss!
    If you've ever wondered whether you have what it takes to homeschool your children, this episode is for you! Joining me today is author, podcaster, and homeschool mom Monica Swanson and she is here to tell you: you can do it. In fact, it can be the most fun, family-unifying, character-building, life-equipping experience you and your children will ever have. “I’ll never say that homeschooling is for everyone,” says Monica. “I do, however, believe that a lot more people would do it—and love it—if they tried it . . . really tried it.”
