Finding Your Purpose Through Intentional Living - Cait Flanders on Mental Health, Living Life on Your Terms, Her Latest Book, & More
Episode 15
Thursday, 4 March, 2021
Back in October of 2020, I got the chance to sit down with Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Cait Flanders, over Skype & discuss personal struggles, financial lessons, topics surrounding minimalism, mindful consumption, & overall: lessons on how to live life the way that you want, rather than living life on others’ terms. Cait is the author of one of my all-time favorite books, “The Year of Less”, where she talks all about her experience with taking a whole year to buy as little as possible, paying off almost $30,000 in debt because of all the money she’d been able to set-aside, & all that she learned about herself through that life-altering personal experiment-- including a new-found love for minimalism. Her book, “The Year of Less”, since its release in 2018 went on to become one of the most sold nonfiction books on Amazon in July of 2018… and later that same year was even listed on the Staff’s Top 5 of Powell’s City of Books. Cait’s story from the “Year of Less” has been shared in the New York Times, The Guardian, The Globe & Mail, Oprah.com, Forbes, and so many more. This year, she’s released a new book called, “The Adventures in Opting Out: A Field Guide to Leading an Intentional Life”, where she discusses another year-long personal experiment where she left her home & comfort zone in Squamish, British Colombia to travel the world. She shares, in this book as well, ways that readers can not only do the same, but more importantly: shares ways on how her readers can live life on their own terms, free themselves from the bonds & restrictions of what our peers may think, & live life with personal intention. Again, I am so excited about today’s episode. I would like to put out a small notice: this entire episode was done over Skype, so the audio quality will be a bit spottier than what my listeners are used to. Thank you for your understanding!
