44: Sustainable Self-Care with Michelle Summerfield

On this week's first-ever interview Tiny Bite, I'm thrilled to share that I'm talking to Michelle Summerfield, fellow blogger and Canadian behind The Simple Classy Life Blog. We're talking all about self-care which is something that Michelle has written about at length on her blog.

I think that self-care is having a bit of a moment right now, which is both a good and bad thing. It's great that people are wanting to learn how they can take better care of themselves so don't burn out from their jobs or so they can be there for their families.

The bad side of this is that there are lots of "answers" out there, especially in the Instagram and Pinterest fear that are trying to sell a self-care lifestyle. So in some ways, self-care has become another avenue for people to consume mindlessly.

Beyond that, self care can feel like it's unattainable for people for a variety of reasons. People often feel like they're failing at doing it properly, or they don't even know where to get started and it can seem like it's just another thing you have to check off from your to do list.

Michelle and I are diving face-first into sustainable self care. I hope you enjoy the conversation. https://www.tinyambitions.com/sustainable-self-care-michelle-summerfield

43: Sparking Joy Isn't About Minimalism. Or Is It?

43: Sparking Joy Isn't About Minimalism. Or Is It?

Is KonMari the complete opposite of minimalism? Or the other side of the same coin? In episode 43, I'm talking about the decluttering method/lifestyle brand taking the world by storm - KonMari. In case you don't have Netflix, or Twitter, Marie Kondo has a new show on Netflix - and people have all the feelings about it. I’m jumping on the bandwagon a little late in terms of talking about it, but that’s because I really wanted to take some time to collect my thoughts on it. Are you a Marie Kondo convert? Do you hate the Spark Joy method? What's your biggest barrier or obstacle when it comes to decluttering? Feel free to shoot me an email at tinyambitionsblog@gmail.com or comment over on the blog. If you’re listening to this on Anchor, feel free to call in and let me know.

40: Minimalist Gift Giving

Minimalist gift giving - does such a thing exist? I'm sharing how I approach the holiday season as a minimalist and “slow living” enthusiast. I don’t think what I do is particularly revolutionary but I have found that it helps to stave off a lot of the panic and anxiety that this season causes for a lot of people.

35: Practising Slow Living Through Fermentation

In this week's episode of Tiny Bites, I'm waxing poetic about the lost art form of fermentation and why I've been loving it lately as a gateway into slow living. Fermentation might be a weird thing to be super jazzed about, but I've been digging it these last couple months as a new tool in my DIY toolkit.
