Summary

“I was tired. Often I felt like I was barely getting by. I kept thinking to myself, ‘Why am I spending my precious time + remaining energy doing things that don’t add value to my life?” For most of us, life is busy.

0:00.0	You're listening to episode 39 of the Sustainable Minimalist podcast.
0:05.0	You are listening to the Sustainable Minimalist podcast, a show about living simply and
0:10.3	sustainably with your family. Here's your host, Stephanie Safarian.
0:15.0	Hi there.
0:17.0	Today we are talking all about intentional living.
0:21.0	We are talking about why it's important to find our why. So finding our purpose. And then we're talking about how to make time for those things in our lives that we value most.
0:37.2	It just so often happens that life happens and life creeps in responsibilities and obligations keep us from those things and people that we value most.

1:01.1	To help me flesh out this hefty topic is Laura Durrenberger.
1:06.3	And if you've been listening to this podcast for a while, that name should ring a bell.
1:11.5	That's because Laura came on the podcast once before. She was on
1:15.9	episode 20 and she talked all about her journey towards a zero waste lifestyle. I am so thrilled Laura is back today and what I love
1:26.6	about our conversation is that we're not talking about things to add onto our already
1:32.4	overflowing plates.
1:35.0	So when we often talk about making lifestyle changes,
1:39.1	the first thing we think of is what to do differently,
1:42.4	what to change, what to add. We're framing the
1:46.2	solution as what to take away. What can you take out of your life that's not serving
1:51.9	your Y so that you have more time for your purpose and for the things you value.
1:59.3	Enjoy the interview.
2:07.9	Laura, thank you so much for coming back on the podcast. You are a podcast veteran.
