Long Story Short, Less is More
On this week’s episode Skye & Amanda are unpacking what it truly means to be a minimalist. The two read a book that they have both been excited to get their hands on; newly released, The Afrominimalist's Guide to Living with Less by Christine Platt. After gushing about their love for Platt, they each give their overall thoughts on the book, the difference between their original idea of minimalism vs Platt’s afrominimalist take on this attainable and culturally rich lifestyle change, and share what made this the perfect time in their lives for this read.
Listen in to learn the principles of afrominimalism, as Platt would describe them and each hosts personal reflections on some of the underlying, deep rooted reasons why people accumulate so much. Hear about Skye’s fear of buying things and the ways that Amanda now sees where she’s gone wrong in the past with her attempts at decluttering her life.
The ladies end with a breakdown of the 4 step process to beginning to live with less, in order to make space for the things that really matter.
