“This podcast has been a longtime favorite. I have listened for years devotedly, but feel it’s becoming inaccessible. Though caveats about privilege are made, the attempts feel feeble when topics center around multiple home renovations, live-in care, private schools and camps, and extended...”Read full review »

“I loved the episode with a Joshua Becker about his book which I love. I appreciate the conversation that they had about setting the example, and could not agree more. This is how my son has come around to the idea of living, simply and living with less because he has seen us do so first. Can’t...”Read full review »
