    Slow Down to Sustain: What 2025 Taught Me About Balance

    Have you ever looked up and realised the year is already over… and you’re not quite sure how you got here? That’s what 2025 felt like for me; fast, loud, and a little overwhelming. So today, instead of rushing into what’s next, I want to pause, breathe, and talk about why slowing down might be the most sustainable thing we can do.  This reflective episode explores how burnout, pace, and mental health shape the way we live sustainably. From living on autopilot and doom-scrolling at night, to finding grounding through nature, animals, real rest, and realistic to-do lists, this is a reminder that sustainability starts within.  Send me a text!

    Downsizing and Minimalist Living for a more Sustainable Future

    Today we talk about Downsizing and Minimalist Living and how it contributes to a more sustainable future. We look at the benefits of downsizing and minimalism as well as the steps that we can take to head into that direction. Sometimes bigger doesn't necessarily mean better, and at the end it's about increasing your quality of life, not the quantity of things in your life. Remember, it's the steps we do everyday that counts and from our actions, we can make a difference in making this world a better place to live in!
