Mom always said, “You can do more with less,” but is that really true? Another popular line is, “problems are always more fun to show up to in a limo!” Today we’ll clear up the clutter from your life, talk about how to determine what is “enough,” and see what chasing too many “things” can do to your spirit. It’s true: less truly often IS more and we’re going to help you cut away.
It’s a sad day on the show because contributor Paulette Perhach is ending her nine-month run of filling in for Paula Pant, but we make the most of Paulette’s expertise, along with that of the woman behind Simplify and Enjoy, Elle Martinez. Elle’s a pro at teaching people how to do more with less and she helps our team help you today…along with the amazing Len Penzo from the award-winning blog Len Penzo dot com.
Of course, at the halfway mark of today’s show, we’ll continue our year-long trivia challenge between our contributors. Can Paulette leave tied for first with Len? Can Len pull ahead? Can Elle help OG get back into the race? You’ll find out today.
Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.StackingBenjamins.com/201
Enjoy!
