The Joy of Simplicity, Sobriety and Mini...

SHELBY STANGER
About this episode

Courtney Carver’s book Soulful Simplicity really changed how I think about “stuff.” I have been on a minimalist trend for years, but Courtney’s story really resonated with me. On overachiever in work and life, Courtney had developed an autoimmune condition that led her to re-examine her life -- the result led to a simpler lifestyle, which led to a blog, a book, another book, and a whole movement that’s brought a lot of people a lot more health and joy. I go back and read Soulful Simplicity a lot, because her messages about having more with less have brought so much Vitamin Joy to my life. It was an honor to talk with her about the joy of simplicity and minimalism -- both emotional and physical -- and we even got into the joy of sobriety, adding to the insights other guests have shared this season. This episode is packed with wisdom. Enjoy!
