Ep 12 - Part 2: Setting goals and intentions for 2021

BUT I have a new episode OUT NOW, about setting goals and intentions for 2021. Yes, I know it’s basically March. It’s taken me this long to dig into my desires and set goals consciously and realistically. And setting goals is not just a new year vibe, you can refresh at any time! In this ep, I discuss:Your goals changing over timeEstablishing what you really wantThe difference between goals and intentionsAnd using your values, biggest desires, and passions to guide your goal settingEcolust Podcast empowers you to live intentionally and sustainably by giving you realistic, practical tips and by sharing our own experience and insight from our inspiring guests. Remember to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode and follow the links below for more Ecolust Life.

Establishing and Living Your Personal Values - S3E1

We are really excited by today's guest, Georgie Stevenson. Despite a combined social media following of 400,000, she's not your average influencer. She left her law career behind to be an entrepreneur; writing an e-book, producing a podcast, and launching a natural supplements company. It's been exciting to watch Georgie pivot from a diet and fitness niche towards an intentional lifestyle.Coming up on today’s show: how ditching diet culture stopped Georgie keeping herself small, honouring your season, and goal setting, visualising, and productivity. At Ecolust Podcast, we tell stories to empower your sustainable lifestyle. As Australian millennials, we want full lives and we like nice things. But we don’t want to be part of the problem anymore. We want to live better - for the planet, for others, and for ourselves. We’re making it easier for others to live sustainably, too. By sharing our stories of struggle and triumph, our lessons empower others.

ELP S2E12: Money Minimalism with Financial Advisor Dawn Starks

Today’s episode is an interview with Jerry Yudelson, Co-Founder of Earth Day, which you may have seen all over Instagram for its 50th anniversary on April 22 2020. And at face value it sounds like a straight-up chat about environmentalism but what’s really interesting is that Jerry’s latest book is about how he has combined meditation and mindfulness, two huge components of intentional living, with an environmentalist career, so we delve into that. I love what Jerry has to say about how the best political leaders in history are humanists, they tackle the world’s issues with empathy and love. Coming up on today’s show:The environmental impacts of Covid-19,the sustainability movement today compared with when Earth Day started 50 years ago, and how mindfulness and spirituality reconcile with environmentalism. At Ecolust Podcast, we tell stories to empower your sustainable lifestyle. As Australian millennials, we want full lives and we like nice things.
