376: Why Doing Less Isn’t Lazy with Courtney Carver

Ever find yourself powering through spaghetti sauce stains, work emails, and toddler meltdowns while secretly thinking that wanting to rest makes you a whiny weakling? You’re not alone—and Courtney Carver, founder of Be More with Less and author of Gentle, gets it. Courtney drops a jaw-dropping plot twist that’s part Lifetime movie, part wake-up call, and then shows you how to be gentle with yourself (even when your dog’s wagging tail turns your living room into a 1 AM crime scene). You’ll laugh, you’ll snort, and you’ll nod along because, yes, life really can be that absurd. By the end, you’ll have a permission slip to rest without shame, a new mantra of “own less, do less, care less,” and the secret to rising from a place of calm instead of chaos—no Perfect Attendance Award required.
