Episode 2781:
Helene Massicotte shares her journey of realizing that more possessions lead to less satisfaction and appreciation. By adopting a "no buy" approach for seven months, she aims to reclaim her time, focus on meaningful activities, and find contentment in less, transforming her consumption habits and rediscovering the joy in simplicity.

Quotes to ponder:
"The reality is that, in general, the more we have: the more we want, the less we appreciate each additional belonging, and the less grateful and happy we are with what we have, both new and old."
"I started to better understand why hoarders do what they do. That emotional connection with the act of acquiring can be intoxicating and it can be a great distraction from what else we might be feeling about our lives."
"I’m hoping this 7-month 'NO BUY' will help me return to my regular lifestyle, including my baseline level of appreciation for just how lucky we are to live in constant abundance and that I don't need much of anything I don't already have to be content."
