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).

    The Shopping Conspiracy (Ad-Free)

    Women have been targeted for decades with the message that shopping is recreation. It’s a way to relax and unwind, sure, but recreational shopping also contributes to the climate crisis, supports the worst of shareholder capitalism, and creates an awful lot of unnecessary waste. Enter Buy Now: The Shopping Conspiracy, a hard-hitting new Netflix documentary that forces viewers to look at our waste-related woes. On today’s show producer Flora Bagenal offers a behind-the-scenes look at the documentary’s creation; she also answers your pressing, post-viewing questions. A note from Stephanie: This episode was recorded before the Los Angeles wildfires. If you're able, please consider donating to one of these organizations.  Here’s a preview: [7:00] People find it hard to look at waste, and yet the film makes us look. A behind-the-scenes examination all those hard-hitting images [16:30] Adidas, Amazon, Unilever, and Apple: Here's why the film featured former employees-turned-whistleblowers [26:00] Execs must show growth, and corporations are on a treadmill of extracting more and more $$ by pushing unnecessary, redundant products. Is not buying an effective act of resistance? [30:00] Mindset shifts! Quality is a climate issue, and once you press ‘Buy Now’ you become responsible for the item’s end of life [36:00] Exactly how to Use. Your. Rage!

    Zero-Waste Living In The Land Of Wasteful Maximalism

    Have you ever thought about what your life would be like without a trash can?  Here in the US, we don't think much about what happens to stuff once we're done with it. Indeed, American infrastructure isn't equipped to properly handle waste, and our wonton wastefulness on the cultural level exacerbates the climate crisis. It's entirely possible to take matters into your own hands by stepping up as a change maker. On today's show activist and author Fredrika Syren suggests tangible ways to treat waste with the reverence it deserves by systematically creating less of it. Here's a preview:  [4:00] Recycling is broken in America, and yet other countries have figured out how to do it right [17:00] Being a change maker means asking guests to take their trash home with them [26:30] Exactly how Fredrika saves $18,000 each year thanks to her zero-waste lifestyle [30:00] Pick a self-sufficient skill and teach yourself! Thoughts on taking your zero-waste efforts up a notch in 2025 Resources mentioned:  "No Impact Man" Colin Beavan Fredrika on Instagram A Practical Guide To Zero-Waste For Families Zero Waste Family on YouTube Zero Time To Waste documentary The Comfort Crisis (Book Club pick for February 12, 7pm EST) This show is listener-supported. Thank you for supporting!

    New Year, Same Ol' Wonderful You

    Does it feel like there’s something hypocritical about New Year’s resolutions? They run counter to the idea that we should accept who we are. That we should give ourselves grace. Resolutions shouldn’t be so grand that we set ourselves up to fail; they shouldn't attempt to "fix" what we've been told is broken, either ("I should be skinnier! I should make more $$!"). There’s a way to work towards personal development without believing you are deficient, and author Tyler Moore is here to show us how.  Here's a preview: [10:00] Where can you edit to make the time and space to flourish? [15:00] Differentiating between becoming the best you can be versus "fixing" what you've been told is broken [22:00] Clearing mental clutter is an awful lot like decluttering your closet [27:00] Instead of a New Year's resolution, try 12 monthly 'experiments', instead [32:00] Why hitching your star to external markers of success rarely works, plus: Don't move the goalpost!

    Navigating The 'Aisle Of Confusion'

    We all want bright smiles and healthy teeth. But a stroll down down your pharmacy's dental aisle bombards even the most conscious of consumers with a dizzying array of flosses, scrapers, rinses, pastes, and gels. It's nearly impossible for the average shopper to discern products that are necessary from ones that in some cases actually harm long-term health.  Some floss contains Teflon, and mouthwash isn't as essential as you've been conditioned to believe. On today's show: A conversation with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen about the intersection of oral wellness and holistic health. An unrelated note from Stephanie: Our first book club of the new year meets on Wednesday, February 12! Our book selection is The Comfort Crisis. Mark your calendars, and happy reading!  Here's a preview:  [7:00] Fillings and x-rays! Practicing holistic heath at the dental office [18:00] Is fluoride good for teeth? Should it be in our drinking water? [28:00] How to be a conscious and informed consumer when buying mouthwash, toothpaste, floss, and more Resources mentioned: Find A Holistic Dentist The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology Dr. Michelle on Instagram Research Dr. Michelle cited: High fluoride and low calcium levels in drinking water is associated with low bone mass, reduced bone quality and fragility fractures in sheep Does fluoride exposure affect thyroid function?
