Summary
We talk with a fellow minimalist mom, Stephanie, who is eagerly pursuing the zero waste movement. Having a zero waste home means you strive to use or reuse everything that comes into your home so there is no waste going to a landfill. Yes, zero trash is the goal! We don’t think our conversation today will get your household to that goal, but we’d like to introduce the concept and talk about easy ways your family can start to incorporate zero waste principles into your homes.
Find all the resources mentioned in this show and a list of beginner zero waste steps: Show Notes for EP50: Zero Waste for Beginners.

| 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 |
| 1:03.8 | code minimalist for 20% off your first order. Growing up, I saved up for weeks to buy my first |
| 1:08.9 | bike, and I remember the pride I felt pounding every dollar that I earned. That experience taught me the value of hard work and saving, but I didn't learn all the money lessons that I should have. Some mistakes I made as an adult could have been avoided. That's why I'm giving my kids a head start with Acorns Early, a smart debit card and money app that helps kids learn how to earn, save, and spend responsibly. |
| 1:29.4 | We started with the in-app chores tracker, which teaches my daughter that hard work really does |
| 1:33.4 | pay off. She completes tasks, earns her allowance, and sees the results in her account. |
| 1:38.2 | Then she sets personal savings goals, like saving for a new outfit or special outing, which |
| 1:42.9 | makes her really excited about managing her money. |
| 1:45.5 | She even gets to spend what she's earned with her customizable debit card, giving her independence while I stay in control through spending limits and real-time notifications. |
| 1:53.6 | I love watching her make decisions about her money and learn the importance of planning and savings. |
| 1:58.2 | Ready to teach your kids the smart way to earn, save, and spend? |
