154. How To Start Simplifying, Minimalist Weddings and More (Q & A)

We love answering your questions on these semi-quarterly listener Q & A episodes. Today we share thoughts on minimalist weddings, our favorite thrillers and how to start simplifying (or make any change) when there seems to be too much to do. You’ll also get an update on our day to day things like pets, tomatoes and birds.    Favorite Things Bailey:  New plant clips for my vining plants So much good TV out right now (You, Sex Life, Daisy Jones and the Six)   Favorite Things Courtney: This quote from Rick Rubin’s new book, The Creative Act.” Living life as an artist is a practice. You are either engaging in the practice or you’re not. It makes no sense to say you’re not good at it. It’s like saying, “I’m not good at being a monk.” You are either living as a monk or you’re not. We tend to think of the artist’s work as the output. The real work for the artist is a way of being in the world.”   PATREON: Support us on Patreon here!
