Perhaps it’s coming through a global pandemic, or the rising cost of living, or the passing of the great leader and monarch Queen Elizabeth II.

All of the above and more, probably - so it’s no wonder that it can feel like the world is in a bit of a spin at the moment.

Well this week’s episode will hopefully help. It’s all about taking a deep breath and pausing to find clarity and also joy in the simple things.

It's about practising simplicity. And the easy, small steps you can take and brave choices you can make for a life less distracted.

Jodi Wilson is an author, photographer and mother of four who has not only written the book, but has made her own life-changing decision to flip everything about the way her family lives.

In the midst of the rush and the race of everyday life and saving for a house deposit in a soaring property market, in a suburb she didn't really feel connected to, Jodi felt frustrated and complacent. She felt unmotivated, uninspired and frankly quite angry. She knew something big had to change.

It was a gamble, but Jodi and her husband, sold most of their belongings, spent their hard-earned house deposit on a car and a caravan, and packed up their four kids, to travel Australia.

I love this chat with Jodi - who now happily lives with her family near the beach in Tasmania. There’s no nagging or preaching. Instead Jodi gently reminds us about the value in owning less, reconnecting with nature, respecting those dreams tucked away inside … brewing, and observing tiny moments of joy that prove we don’t need a lot to live well.

Enjoy.
