When it's not all about you - SHP015

http://www.slowyourhome.com/15

It’s time for another hostful episode! 

Ben and I have a ridiculous amount of fun recording these host-only episodes and I really love the opportunity to answer listener questions in a relaxed, non-posturing kind of way. 

We inadvertently themed today's three questions around other people. Or more specifically, how to approach slow, simple living while living with and taking into consideration the needs and desires of other people. 

These questions are thought-provoking and also quite common and I do my best to answer them:

• How can I create a slower home with less “stuff” when my spouse isn’t on the same wavelength?
• How can I simplify large amounts emotionally-charged clutter, like kids artworks?
• How do I shift my thinking about "stuff" and what constitutes clutter as my children grow and develop their own interests and tastes?

One really important part of slow living is acknowledging that everyone's path is different - what works for one person may not work for another. For this reason I'm always hesitant to offer specific advice, but would rather ask questions that get you thinking about what works best for you. Hopefully today's episode will help do that.

Enjoy!
