Is there anything in your life right now that you can opt out of that is no longer serving you? This week on the podcast, I have Cait Flanders, best selling author, of “The Year of Less” and “Adventures in Opting Out.” After paying off her debt, Cait did not have a plan for her money so many of her poor spending habits resurfaced. At 29, Cait challenged herself to go on a shopping ban where she spent less and saved more.
Cait realized that having clear, meaningful goals makes it easier to save and scale back. In addition, it was crucial for her to work through her internal blocks before she was able to move forward on her journey. Cait shares how to opt out and change paths from something that is no longer right for us.
In this episode you’ll learn:
- More about Cait’s year of less shopping ban
- How spending can be linked to internal blocks and emotional attachments
- Why it is important to have clear, meaningful goals
- What opting out means
- The 5 “stages” on the journey to opting out outlined in Cait’s book “Adventures in Opting Out”
- Why community is so important and much more...
