Lighten your holiday season with tiny sustainable swaps that reduce waste, simplify your routines, and help you create a calmer, more intentional home, without giving up convenience.
This week we’re talking about that moment when the house smells like gingerbread, the candles are glowing…and the trash is overflowing with plastic packaging and scrunched-up wrapping paper. If you’ve ever wondered how “cozy season” turned into “waste season,” this episode will help turn that around. We’re kicking off the December Live Light Challenge, 31 tiny, sustainable swaps to help you honor your values without giving up the convenience you actually need.
You’ll learn simple ways to lighten your footprint through the choices you’re already making: what you eat, what you buy, what you toss, and how you use energy and water at home. This is sustainability the Choosy Organizer way: calm, flexible, realistic, and good enough! By the end, you’ll know how to pick the small habits that fit your life (not a homesteader fantasy) and how tiny upstream choices really do make December feel lighter.
You'll learn:
✨ Why tiny food shifts make a surprisingly big dent in your environmental impact
✨ How to shop intentionally in a season designed for impulse buys

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
