Joining me today is business strategist & productivity coach, Brittany Dixon. Although she is a practicing minimalist, Brittany's family owns ninety board games! The reason behind it? Family connectivity plus weekly game time helps teach strategy and critical thinking. Her hope is that listeners walk away with light-bulb moments that game night can actually teach tangible life lessons (plus a lot more about the practice of minimalism and tips such recommends from her own life!) ------------------------------Connect with Brittany:Website: www.bcohq.coThe Productivity Pod(cast): www.theproductivitypodcast.co/Media Page: www.bcohq.co/mediaSocial links:www.instagram.com/brittanyandco.consulting/www.facebook.com/brittanyandco.consultingwww.linkedin.com/in/brittanyjdixon/

Four Pillars of a Simple Summer with Desirae Endres (EP338)

Going Deeper episodes will be less structured with a more conversational tone. These conversations will focus on interesting people I've come across that share similar values, perspectives and intentions expressed on the Minimalist Moms Podcast. Joining me for today is founder of Puori, Oliver Amdrup. Oliver is passionate about health and wellness, with a mission to bring transparency to the food supplement industry. He emphasizes the importance of prioritizing quality over quantity and highlights the need for consumers to be aware of potential contamination in their food and supplements. As an entrepreneur and father of three, Oliver shares his approach to living an intentional life, which includes reflecting on the past year and setting goals for the future. He also discusses the principles of stoicism and how they can be practically applied in daily life.  Previous Going Deeper Episodes: Leaving Corporate for a More Intentional Career with Sarah Hollingsworth Unschooling with Leah McDermott My Parent is a Hoarder with Tara Clark
