Thanks for spending time with me! I am inspired by your less is more approach. Shopping with purpose and restraint can be so much more fun and satisfying.
I can absolutely relate to feeling like I have been duped by clever marketing when I impulse buy. Living in the US, the attitude can be “more is more.” And while trying to be mindful of my purchases, the consumerism culture here can be overwhelming. I love to hear about the French restraint! I am enjoying carted to thoughtfully plan out my purchases while getting that dopamine hit filling my lists and day dreaming of buying it all!
I really enjoyed Em's experience of French restraint too. I hear what you're saying re the marketing—but I also LOVE great marketing. I think you've hit the nail on the head, in that being more considered doesn't have to come at the cost of enjoying the process. It's just about being more aware.
Thank you so much for having me! Such a fun interview.
