189- Live a More Intentional Life & Opt Out of Things That Don't Serve You w/ Cait Flanders

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Is there anything in your life right now that you can opt out of that is no longer serving you? This week on the podcast, I have Cait Flanders, best selling author, of “The Year of Less” and “Adventures in Opting Out.” After paying off her debt, Cait did not have a plan for her money so many of her poor spending habits resurfaced.  At 29, Cait challenged herself to go on a shopping ban where she spent less and saved more. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cait realized that having clear, meaningful goals makes it easier to save and scale back. In addition, it was crucial for her to work through her internal blocks before she was able to move forward on her journey. Cait shares how to opt out and change paths from something that is no longer right for us. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In this episode you’ll learn:</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">More about Cait’s year of less shopping ban</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">How spending can be linked to internal blocks and emotional attachments</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why it is important to have clear, meaningful goals</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">What opting out means </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 5 “stages” on the journey to opting out outlined in Cait’s book “Adventures in Opting Out”</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Why community is so important and much more...</span></li> </ul> <p>Special thanks to DCU for sponsoring the episode!
