  • Highly recommend

    In a genre that feels pretty saturated with people talking about minimalism, Stephanie really stands a step above. She’s a genuinely great interviewer and manages to cover such a wide range of topics without the conversations becoming repetitive. And you can tell that she genuinely cares about the subject matter and the people she’s talking to which makes the podcast really enjoyable to listen to!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Autopilot Off
Q: How can listeners deal with the fear and cynicism around sustainability and corporate ethics?
Acknowledge hopelessness, but channel it into action by supporting small to medium businesses, researching brands, and starting with one trusted company to champion consistently.
Autopilot Off
Q: What does the Plant, Water, Grow framework mean in practice for buying a shirt or other everyday items?
Plant asks a different question or changes perspective; Water asks for a small actionable step; Grow involves three to five peers to implement change, focusing on buying less and choosing higher-quality, ethically produced items.
Joy is Resistance
Q: What is one practical way to begin practicing joy in everyday life?
Start with small, achievable gatherings or activities that foster connection—like a monthly coffee clutch or a neighborhood book crawl—so joy becomes a regular, sustainable habit rather than a rare treat.
Joy is Resistance
Q: How do you reconcile joy with the heavy problems we face today?
Joy is a restorative practice and a strategic choice that helps sustain energy for problem-solving, using community and play to keep engagement alive without succumbing to burnout.
Plastic Free July
Q: Who are you? What do you do? And why are you running a Plastic Free July challenge?
Emily explains she shifted toward environmental work after a high school project, embraced a zero-waste mindset, and now runs a Plastic Free July challenge to help others adopt practical, affordable, habit-based changes rather than overwhelming swaps.
