Living Aligned with the Earth: Everyday Sustainability with Soul (Ep 28)

In this Earth Day special, the discussion revolves around integrating sustainable living practices, particularly through upcycling. The episode emphasizes the importance of making small but significant lifestyle changes to align with the earth's rhythms, such as reusing and repurposing items instead of discarding them. Practical tips are shared on how to upcycle everyday objects, involve children in sustainability projects, and the benefits of choosing sustainable business practices. The episode also touches on the spiritual aspect of connecting with nature and mindful consumerism, and introduces a new upcycling project aimed at promoting eco-conscious living.

 

From the Episode:

• “ ...it's a way of thinking, choosing, and living that says, I see the future and I care about it...”
•  “Our relationship with the Earth mirrors our relationship with ourselves and how we treat the Earth reflects how we treat our own bodies and lives. ...”
• “  Whether you're a parent or a mentor or simply a citizen of earth, your choices create ripple effects. And when you choose sustainability, you are voting for clean air and living oceans and thriving wildlife and resilient communities. And that's the kind of power that we all have. Quiet but mighty.”
• “ So no, sustainability is not a trend, y'all. It's an invitation. An invitation to live with more care and creativity and consciousness.”
• “We live in a world that glorifies hustle, but the earth whispers rest.”
• “Your energy is a resource. Protect it. If you are exhausted, burned out, and pushing through every launch or task, your business is not sustainable. No matter how green your materials are, your business isn't sustainable.”
• “... so a sustainable business is also one that thrives in community. And this old paradigm says, compete, outperform, dominate. And the new paradigm says, collaborate, amplify, support...”
• “ ...one of the most beautiful gifts that you can give children is the ability to see possibilities...involve them in upcycling projects...”
• “The energy of resourcefulness naturally supports an abundance mindset. One that's rooted in trust and creativity and enoughness...”
