This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week about personal style with Conni Jesperson or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss!In this episode, I spoke with author, Whitney Lowe to discuss her new book, Set Your Eyes Higher, a devotional designed to help young women navigate life through the lens of faith and abundance. Together, we delve into how shifting from a scarcity mindset to one rooted in God’s provision can transform the way we approach consumerism, minimalism, and the true meaning of fulfillment. Whether you’re seeking a deeper connection with God or looking for ways to simplify your life, this conversation is full of encouragement to set your sights on a higher purpose.About Whitney |Whitney Lowe is a Christian influencer who wants to see young women excited about God’s work: in the Bible, in history, in the world, and in themselves. She writes and creates on Instagram at ScribbleDevs, a project born from the realization that young women simply do not interact with the Bible enough to be changed by its truth. Whitney is passionate about disrupting the toxic scroll of social media with hope, peace, and light straight from Scripture. She lives in Denver, Colorado, with her husband—a pastor—and their two young children.Links Discussed in This Episode |Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityPrevious Episode: John Mark Comer Discusses the Ruthless Elimination of Hurry (Bonus Episode)Whitney's Resource: 1-2-3 Magic by Thomas Phelan | How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen by Joanna FaberWhitney Can't Stop Talking About: Era by BrumateConnect with Whitney:IG + FB + TikTokEpisode Sponsors |The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors.
