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).

    Labors Of Love

    Labors Of Love

    Last year was the hottest year on record, so it's safe to say that Earth Day as we traditionally celebrate isn't working.

    On today's show I suggest what I believe is the antidote to the climate crisis (and I'm willing to bet you won't be able to guess what it is!).



    Here's a preview:

    [3:45] The Big 5: We know what we should do environment-wise, so why aren't we doing it?

    [7:15] Communal care is anti-capitalist, and that's really darn important

    [16:30] Here's what research finds re: the relationship between collectivist culture and pro-environmental behaviors

    [24:00] If the problem is disconnection, is the solution as simple as authentic reconnection?

    [34:00] It's actually not hard at all to pivot from the conventional, negative feedback loop we find ourselves currently in

    The Great Connector

    The Great Connector

    Reminder! Our hands can do more than type and text. In fact, they can grow things.

    On today's show — and in honor of National Gardening Day! — permaculture expert Kareen Erbe lists countless tangible and intangible benefits associated with active participation in your local growing community; she also offers practical suggestions for getting off our screens and reengaging with the natural world.



    Here's a preview:

    [8:00] Industrializing our food systems has benefits, sure. But in doing so, what have we sacrificed?

    [19:00] Industrial agriculture is the problem, but agriculture is also the solution

    [23:00] Don't want to grow anything? You don't have to! Here's how to best invest in your *local* food systems

    [27:00] It's not that local, organic food is so expensive; it's that corporate, industrialized food is too cheap

    [31:00] The 5 S-es: Scalable tips for newbie growers

    [35:00] Kids who grow kale eat kale!
