During this 16th episode of I Am the Future Me podcast, host Tyler Philbrook interviews the blogger and author Cait Flanders, who has most recently released the book “The Year of Less” that tackles the topic of consumption. Cait shares the shifts in her life that took her from becoming a blogger about debt and money to being a writer dealing with simplifying your lifestyle to allow you to focus on consuming the elements in your life that provide the most value and make you feel good.

Show Notes:

Cait Flanders has had many business projects: Blonde on a Budget, Honest Money Conversations, and Budgets and Sense.
She began blogging about her journey to get out of debt in 2011, and eventually achieved getting out of debt in 2013.
Cait’s writing topics have shifted from money to intentional living, simple living, and being mindful of what we consume.
Over consumption can have a negative effect on our health and our outlooks on life.
Keep talking about the things you need to change and want to pursue to get input and positive reinforcement to help you get to the place where you can start making them happen.
There is way too much pressure to be perfect. You don’t always have to be the solution; there is also value in sharing your journey instead of just the end result.
Trying something new gives her a bigger boost in confidence.
Making mistakes makes you even better at that thing next time.
Cait wants to write more books and wants to have a career as an author, and business-wise she wants to bring the outdoors into her work.
We may start on one journey, but that doesn’t mean that is what we are always going to do.
What value does this thing bring to me, and if I feel bad, what shift can I make in my relationship to that bad feeling?

3 Key Points:

Consumption is not just what we spend our money on, but it includes: foods, drinks, things we bring into our homes, media, and information.
Pick the media sources that add real value to your life and let go of the ones that don’t.
What you start with isn’t what you always have to stay with.
