Today’s guest, Becca Loveless, says the real crisis isn’t scarcity—it’s forgetting how to live with less on purpose. As the season shifts into fall and the holidays approach, Becca - a voice of honesty in sustainability, minimalism, and intentional living - shares how slowing down and choosing less helped her escape debt, consumer pressure, and the urge to keep up.
We talk about the difference between being frugal and being cheap, why under-consuming can be an act of freedom, and how to spend well—on what aligns with your values, not trends. We also unpack seasonal consumerism, the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, and how thoughtful spending can lead to more joy, not less.
