Summary
In today's episode, I sit down with Jill Czarnik. She opens up about the wake-up call that launched her wellness company, The Tribalist, and the surprising role that AI and home organization play in building a lox-tox lifestyle. She also shares her 4-C framework, a simple but powerful way to realign your life with what really matters. We start the conversation talking about decluttering and intentional consumption and then we move into sustainability and what it looks like to cultivate a home that haas fewer toxins. Simplicity, intentionality, sustainability, decluttering - all the things that I loved to talk about are wrapped up in this conversation with Jill.

| 0:00.0 | If you're pregnant postpartum or planning to be, or you've got a friend in that season, listen |
| 0:04.3 | up. There's a lot in motherhood that we can't control, but your nutrition, that's a powerful |
| 0:08.9 | place to start. That's why I've been raving about the company needed. I wish I'd had needed |
| 0:13.8 | when I was in that chapter. Their starter plan is a total game changer, a comprehensive prenatal |
| 0:19.4 | multi, plus the high quality omega-3 designed to meet |
| 0:22.7 | the real nutritional demands of pregnancy and beyond. It's not the bare minimum stuff that most |
| 0:27.3 | prenatals offer. This is optimal evidence-based nourishment that actually supports mom and baby. |
| 0:32.9 | Trusted by over 6,000 women's health practitioners from midwives to obese, they're raising the bar for women's |
| 0:38.6 | wellness. And personally, because I'm out of the prenatal and postpartum, I love their women's |
| 0:43.6 | omega-3, collagen, and stress support. They have an entire section for women's health supplements |
| 0:49.1 | on their website. So if you've been looking for a supplement that checks all the boxes, |
| 0:53.1 | head over to this is needed.com and use code minimalist for 20% off your first order. That's T-H-I-S-I-S-N-E-D-D-D-com and use code minimalist for 20% off your first order. That category of, yes, I still buy it. I have this gorgeous little ottoman I got on Facebook Marketplace this week. Did week did I need it no but I look at it every day and I'm like that's gorgeous |

| 1:19.7 | meal and a pre-packaged peeled orange in an orange cup right so it's just thinking about |
| 1:24.7 | instead of how do I buy something to fill something, creating something. |
| 1:29.5 | I think for me personally, reducing consumption is, for me, it's like a financial decision right now |
| 1:35.1 | that I could read the studies that fewer things make you happier. |
| 1:39.6 | I'm actually very happy. I've had the experience of living in New York because you naturally start thinking |
| 1:45.4 | about the utility of stuff and even like getting the stuff like if I get groceries what do I want |
| 1:50.8 | to carry home that's being intentional about consumption which is a different way to think about |
| 1:55.9 | how we live thinking about organizing your life and keeping it simple. |
| 2:04.6 | And I think the easiest way is, well, if you have less stuff, the less chance, you're going to buy something that's done for you. |
