TLS #49 with Courtney Carver: Approaching Holidays Intentionally

Today I’ve cooked up my first LivelyShow Thanksgiving special just for you! I’ve got a full-length Lively Show designed to help you kick off one of the most meaningful, joyful, and stress-less holiday seasons ever! I’m talking with the incredible Courtney Carver of Be More With Less about how we can approach this holiday season from an intentional perspective. But this show covers much more than just changing our approach to gift giving, decor, holiday commitments, and increasing the elements of the holidays that mean the most. We are talking about the importance of being proactive with our health, handling a difficult diagnosis, and how to make gradual shifts towards a simpler lifestyle that lead to huge transformation. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to reduce the holiday stress, increase holiday joy, put themselves first, and to prevent or manage a difficult health issue. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND OUT ABOUT   How an MS diagnosis changed Courtney’s life forever – from one of “more is more” to “be more with less.” The first steps she took to be proactive with her health and stress levels in order to minimize or delay the effects of MS. How Courtney and her husband became completely debt-free making small, gradual changes. Courtney’s advice for those looking to spearhead changes in their family or marriage. How Courtney overcame her fear of uncertainty. Courtney’s wise approach to holiday decorations and traditions. (~22:00) Courtney’s advice for declining holiday events that are not meaningful to you. Courtney’s advice for more meaningful gift giving and receiving. What to do if you receive a gift you don’t really like or want to keep. Why Courtney’s MS diagnosis was one of the best things to ever happen to her. Courtney’s advice for those with or without a serious diagnosis that may benefit our health and wellbeing. Courtney’s new definition for “more is more” and the abundance mentality. What Courtney would tell someone just starting out on this journey.   SHOW NOTES   Caroline Rector’s (Unfancy) Lively Show  Project 333 The China Study The Dave Ramsey Show (podcast) Eric Williams’s (Words of Williams) Lively Show What I DON’T want for Christmas post Becoming Minimalist Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsJoin us in Welling, An online members club of 200+ inspired souls.
