The Life Lessons of Living More Simply with Courtney Carver
Play • 33 min

From managing your own life, personally and professionally, managing relationships, family, school, and giving yourself just enough time to do a workout, how do you live intentionally when you have all of these things you have to do?

Everything is a balancing act, and it can feel like you’re drowning with all these things to do. Living with less allows you to get back to being more intentional about who and what you surround yourself with and where you put your time and energy. 

In this episode, I am joined by a dear friend of mine, Courtney Carver. She is an expert when it comes to bringing simplicity to all areas of your life. Through her business and community at Be More with Less, Courtney has been sharing her personal journey of simplicity with others. 

However, before she started her business, Courtney’s life was go, go, go and busy all the time! Eventually, a medical diagnosis led Courtney to slow down and to reduce the stress she was living under. This made her realize that living with simplicity was exactly what she needed. In this episode, Courtney teaches us how the principles of minimalism can be applied to all areas of our lives.

We’re going to get real in this episode about how you can start living a more intentional and purposeful life, so let’s go!
