Today we are talking about something very vulnerable with you guys today and that is the topic of secrets. This topic was inspired by our guest Laura Parrott-Perry who said, “the story that you haven’t told could be the one that’s running your life.” This touched us both on a personal level and got us both thinking about the secrets we keep, how they effect our lives, where they can create mental clutter, and how to let them go.

 

This episode is perfect for you if you feel burdened with a secret big or small, if you want to hear some true confessions from us, or, if you are curious about how secrets have the power to weigh us down.  Enjoy!

Some of you might consider our guest today unconventional. You might listen to his story and back ground and think, how in the world can I relate to this guy? Well, Eryn and I have always felt like we’re a bridge between the "traditional" community and those that are interested in minimalism and intentional living but feel intimidated by living out of a backpack while traveling the world. If you’ve listed to us long enough, you know that we don’t think there’s one perfect recipe for minimalism or intentional living….it’s going to look different for everyone. However, just because someone IS living out of their backpack and traveling the world doesn’t mean they don’t have something special to offer the world even if that’s not your jam. So that’s why we’ve brought Rob on the show today. What he is doing is VERY unconventional, but we think you will find it interesting, inspiring and hopeful you’ll learn something from his story.

Today we welcome guest Jen Biswas to our show.  Jen is a mama, wife, business owner and friend.  Her business, Paisley and Sparrow, empowers at-risk women around the world.  When you purchase from her shop you are giving a marginalized woman in India a hopeful future, someone in Ethopia a way to support her family, and a woman recovering from addition a second chance.  

More and more, the minimalist community and people in general are interested in conscious consumption, and we loved the opportunity to bring someone on the show who is running a business with with a purpose.  Not only that, Jen also shares some real-life struggles like comparison, the stress of new motherhood, and the pressure of being a work-at-home mom that so many of our listeners will relate to.

This episode is perfect for you if you are interested in hearing about a place where you can buy fair trade goods, are curious about what life's like behind the scenes for Jen Biswas, or you just want to hear some real talk about motherhood and self discovery. Enjoy!
