Episode description

In our fast-paced world, we often equate success with relentless effort, sharpening our edges to navigate life's challenges. But what if embracing gentleness could lead to a different kind of strength—one that fosters rest, compassion, and grace? In this episode, we explore the transformative power of gentleness toward ourselves and others.

Our guest, Courtney Carver, is a renowned advocate for simplicity and minimalism. She is the creator of Be More with Less and the innovative Project 333, a minimalist fashion challenge that has inspired many to declutter their lives. Her latest book, Gentle: Rest More, Stress Less, and Live the Life You Actually Want, serves as a permission slip to stop pushing so hard and start embracing a gentler approach to life. Courtney has been featured in publications like O, The Oprah Magazine, Vogue, and The New York Times. She also co-hosts the Soul & Wit Podcast with her daughter, Bailey, highlighting that gentleness can indeed be a family affair.

In this conversation, Courtney shares insights on how softening our approach doesn't equate to weakness but rather leads to wisdom, resilience, and deeper connections with what truly matters. She discusses practical steps to incorporate gentleness into daily life, emphasizing that being tough may have gotten us here, but being gentle might be what leads us to where we truly want to go.
