Back to Episodes112: The Trap of Upgrading Our Lives with Laura Fenton
Description
Happy Thanksgiving week to those of you in the U.S.! In this thought-provoking conversation with Laura Fenton—writer and creator of the beloved Substack Living Small—we talk about what it really means to opt out of upgrade culture.
At a time of year when we’re surrounded by sales, pressure to buy more, and ideas for trendy gifts, this episode is a breath of calm.
Laura offers a grounded, compassionate look at how choosing “enough” can bring more contentment, freedom, and ease into your daily life.
If you’re craving some recalibration on what's important in life—or simply want permission to step off the hamster wheel—you'll love this conversation!
