Back to Episodes106: How Comparison Fuels Clutter & Financial Constraint with Amy Slenker-Smith
Description
We are being influenced by way of comparison more than we even realize, and this episode is a really inspiring and uplifting conversation about learning to live in a way that we love—not letting advertising or insecurity drive our choices.
I sat down to talk with Amy Slenker-Smith, founder of Simply Enough, about how comparison quietly drives both clutter and overspending.
We explore
- how advertising shapes what we think we “need”
- how to create a home and life that reflect your values—not what social media or society tells you they should be.
- the difference between healthy inspiration and harmful comparison
And more!
You'll walk away feeling more peace, clarity, and confidence in your own choices.
