  Autopilot Off 14.09.2026 38min

  Our economy is built to keep us consuming on autopilot. Between frictionless digital checkouts, targeted algorithms, and subscription traps, buying has become effortless. So effortless, in fact, that we rarely register it as an active choice anymore.But what happens when we slow down and reclaim that awareness?On today’s show, author David Gaines makes a case for moving away from isolated, guilt-driven consumerism and toward community-based choices that have the power to transform our buying habits for the better.Here’s a preview:[6:30] Why algorithms and one-click buying strip away our intentionality—and how regaining awareness is the first step toward values-aligned spending[13:30] What to do when you want to buy better but you just can’t afford it[14:00] On the importance of savoring more so as to consume less[23:00] Ethics under capitalism? Is it possible?[28:00] How to evaluate brand claims and recognize common marketing red flags[31:00] On elephants, ants and the significance of small, daily actions, plus: One low-friction adjustment you can make this week for maximum impact Resources mentioned:Why We Buy and Why it Matters (releases Oct. 27)Certified B Corporation (episode from the archives!) Book Club!

  The Architecture of Connection 12.02.2026 39min

  We’ve all heard the minimalist mantra: If you want peace, clear the clutter. But while clearing clutter reduces the “noise,” it doesn’t automatically fill the void. On today’s show author Suzanne Searcy Johnson argues that the true antidote to our “more is more” culture isn’t just owning less—it’s connection. And to truly connect, we must first peel back the layers of noise, clutter, and distraction to find what’s actually real. Here’s a preview: [4:00] The materialism myth: We don’t buy things out of greed. We buy them because we’re disconnected [9:00] Are you disconnected? Here are some warning signs [11:45] Health! Clarity! Stress reduction! A laundry list of problems that reconnecting with nature can help solve [18:30] Thoughts on embracing the beautiful mess of real-life relationships [28:00] When we’re disconnected to ourselves, we’ve blocked our intuition   Resources mentioned: Beyond Decluttering Book Suzanne on Instagram Suzanne’s free resources Our Book Club pick for Mon.

  The IDGAF Decade 05.02.2026 39min

  American culture tends to market aging as a slow fade into the background. After all, women are told that getting older comes with a loss of relevance, memory, and attractiveness. But what if the season of midlife isn’t a crisis? We aren’t just getting older; in fact, we’re getting louder, bolder, and more authentic. On today’s show podcast host Stacey Hutson dismantles the myth that our best years are behind us by breaking down the the science behind those hormonal shifts while also celebrating the fierce second act that follows. Here’s a preview: [7:00] IDGAF Energy: How hormonal shifts can actually fuel a powerful new sense of assertiveness and boundaries [16:00] Science-backed ways to navigate the intersection of “puberty in reverse” and the relentless mental load of motherhood [19:00] Mindfulness, cycle syncing, creatine, and other “buffer supporting” practices [25:00] Musings on why our culture tends to dismiss older women [28:00] Rejecting the idea that aging equals irrelevance, plus: Thoughts on leaning into the mundane   Resources mentioned: The Next Phase podcast Explain Cycle Syncing to Me: Your Guide to Aligning Food, Fitness & Energy with Your Hormones (via Apple Podcasts) How to Eat With Your Cycle to Balance Hormones in Perimenopause (via Apple Podcasts) Fair Play (via Bookshop.org) Stacey on Substack Our Book Club pick for Mon.
