Summary
What do sourdough bread, world travel, and minimalism have in common? More than you'd think. In this episode, I sit down with Brett Wiewiora and Christina Cann, former owners of a 1,500-loaves-a-day bakery in Tampa who sold it all, packed their lives into carry-on luggage, and hit the road with their two kids—and their sourdough starter—to teach baking classes from around the world. In this episode, you'll learn: How simplifying their sourdough process taught Brett and Christina to let go of excess in general Why having a clear, purposeful goal makes decluttering and letting go dramatically easier Practical ways to raise kids who think intentionally about what they own, spend, and carry with them ...and more. If you've ever felt stuck under the weight of too much, this episode will give you a fresh (and unique) perspective on what it means to live a life unburdened from clutter.
