Well, hello and welcome to another Friday re-air of my top five favorite episodes as we approach

0:08.9

500 episodes on the Sustainable Minimalist podcast. I thought to myself, well, won't it be fun to

0:14.4

re-air my five favorite episodes of all time? And this week we're doing number four. I have an intentional living episode for you.

0:23.7

It's an interview with author Elizabeth Sharp McKedda. And what I love about this episode is it's all

0:30.1

about, number one, figuring out what matters most in your life. That's the easy part. And then the

1:42.7

lifetime, written something lengthy. Maybe it was as simple as a

1:47.7

five-paragraph essay in high school, or maybe it was that dissertation in college, or dare I say,

1:54.2

maybe it has even been a book. We've all written something. And I'm willing to bet that for most of us, unless you are
