In this episode, I explore the idea of "quiet quitting" beyond the workplace and how it applies to our consumption habits. Inspired by a recent newsletter on stepping back from the beauty hamster wheel, can a change in mindset help us break free from the cycle of overconsumption and superficial self-care? I share practical strategies for assessing what genuinely adds value to our lives, like simplifying beauty routines and scrutinising our purchases. From questioning the necessity of trendy beauty treatments to evaluating convenience-driven consumption, I show how adopting a quiet quitting attitude has empowered me to make more intentional choices, and you can too!

Episode highlights:

• Practical tips on simplifying beauty routines and scrutinising purchases.
• How convenience-driven consumption impacts spending.
• Actionable strategies for making better choices about consumption.

“I was able to identify that the thing compelling me to pay for that, or to consider getting that treatment, was because I felt pressure that everybody else was."
Emma [12:26]

“All of these things are priming us to become these convenience seeking consumers like it doesn't serve us."
Emma [20:08]

“Is this really expressing myself? …Can I really see beyond this one decision and really can I really make sense of what I'm actually trying to do with this consumption decision."
Emma [25:38]
