About this episode
This episode discusses how simplifying life can lead to calmer and more sustainable businesses.
In this episode of the Kind Business Show, I explore how simplifying our lives can help us build calmer, more sustainable businesses. Inspired by the book Your Money or Your Life by Vicki Robin and Joe Domínguez, I talk about the idea of calculating our true hourly income across different income streams and how this can completely change how we think about work.I also reflect on the lifestyle choices that shape our financial needs, including my own journey from living in large European cities to settling in a small town in Scotland in search of more rest, time, and simplicity. Finally, I share practical ways to simplify different areas of life from finances and time management to social commitments and digital habits.When we align our businesses with our actual capacity and the lives we truly want to live, something beautiful becomes possible: work that supports our wellbeing rather than overwhelming it.
