What do eating green bananas and decluttering have in common? More than one would think! Join Kathi Lipp and writer, educator, and fellow recovering green banana eater Amy Betters-Midtvedt as they laugh and discuss their way through topics such as: How to figure out what we like and not settle all the time. How to not get stuck in a poverty mindset. Why it’s okay to order an ice cream sundae just for yourself! And as promised by Kathi in the episode, here’s a copy of Amy’s Green Banana Article for your enjoyment and edification. There was a time I just ate bananas. Like any banana. I’d buy them put them in my lunch and eat them. Green, light green, yellow, brown I didn’t pay much attention. Then one day I was driving to my awesome college job at Gap kids, and I took a bite of my greenish banana. I realized it wasn’t good. As a matter of fact every time I ate a greenish banana I didn’t really like it. Suddenly I realized I didn’t like green bananas. And I didn’t have to eat any banana I didn’t like. I was a legit grown up I could pick the color of bananas I would eat. I rolled down my window and SPIT OUT the gross banana in my mouth and to this day I’ve never eaten a banana with a grace of green. Life is too short for green bananas. This life lesson has served me well in a million areas of my life. With friendships, jobs, picking out jeans and how I spend my time on a Saturday. The applications are endless. Tonight I share this lesson with you. You don’t have to eat green bananas either my friends. Only eat bananas you really enjoy. Pass it on.
