52: How convenience culture is impacting our health, our planet, and our loneliness (solo series) - a podcast by Sara Weinreb

I am, by default, a very curious person, which means I question everything and always want to dig deeper. Lately, I’ve been wondering what the impact of convenience culture has on our lives— our ability to be present and focus inwards, on our planet, on our connection to one another. How does our fast and cheap lifestyle impact our wellbeing? In this episode, I share my thoughts on the topic.

In this episode, I discuss:

• How to always take a pause before buying something new or making a decision

• How slowing down allows for possibilities, synchronicity, and magic

• Why faster sometimes bypasses the point

• The impact of shortcuts on people involved in making and selling products

• How convenience culture can disconnect you from your intuition

Mentioned in this episode:

• My article on The Fullest about convenience culture

• Zach Bush on our soil health and the impact of roundup (glyphosate) on our soil

• Sign up for my new newsletter, Sara… lately (bottom of my website!)
