Today on the podcast we're joined by Cait Flanders, blogger, author and mindful consumer. When Cait realized that, despite getting out of serious debt, she was barely saving any money, she decided to take on a year long shopping ban. This inspired her memoir, The Year of Less, where she talks about learning to be a mindful consumer of all things in her life.

In this interview we talk about that year, her memoir, as well as our shared experience of being adult children of divorce.
