Let’s Slow Down: Simple + Intentional Living, Decluttering, Life on Purpose

The Life Edit: How to Live with Intention in a Messy World with Elisabeth Sharp McKetta, #94


Listen Later

Today’s guest is Elisabeth Sharp McKetta - a mother, teacher, and writer - here to share her literary approach to intentionality with our podcast community. She teaches for the Harvard Extension School Writing Program, and Oxford University’s Diploma in Creative Writing as well as mentors a small group of writers each year through the Book Year Writer’s Circle.  Elisabeth faced combined autopilot-and-overwhelm early in her parenting journey, which sparked a big change. She moved into a tiny house with her husband and two children —an intentional act that inspired my TEDx Talk “Edit your life like a poem.” Her tiny house existence spurred her to apply her literary editing skills to life—a discipline she calls “life-editing.” Today she will be sharing “life-editing” insights and anecdotes from her personal growth guide Edit Your Life: A Handbook for Living with Intention in a Messy World (Penguin: TarcherPerigee, 2023)


In the episode, we cover the following topics:


  • Examine your life for what it is, what it could be, and what is needed

  • Edit your life for clarity, growth, and generosity

  • Enjoy your life, savoring the ordinary and accepting the exceptions


  •  If you would like to venture further into Elisabeth’s writing, teaching, and speaking, you can do so at elisabethsharpmcketta.com.
