Catherine Price

So better probably for me to spend, like to learn with and to be accountable with someone who's starting from a similar place.

Helen would probably learn more, have more fun and get more energy, more energy and empathy from someone else who also has loads, is superb, you know, gets pings there's lots there's lots popping up on her phone all the time and then together they're sort of they're trying to reduce those down but their starting and finishing place will probably look quite different to say mine and actually my top read from today is not something from us my top recommendation there is a really brilliant short book I love a short book called how to break up with your phone by Catherine Price um that phone is it that phone that book is a few years old now but it's really useful and I I still really remember like reading it and it making me pause and reflect on how I was using my phone.

And just that point of, it's my phone and it's my decision, like how that works for me.

And I'm going to also have a look at maybe how that's working against me too.

And I think it's worth talking about, very much worth talking about what fun is.

And there's an author named Catherine Price, who's lovely.

And she's written multiple books, but the book that I'm referring to now is called The Power of Fun, How to Feel Alive Again.

And hopefully she can join us on Nourished at some point to talk more about fun because she is amazing.

The first two films are also pretty great, to be fair, aren't they? Yeah, superb, yeah.

And third up, Catherine Price, who said, what a film.

What a lovely film.

Perfect in every way.

We're showing them how, and I wanna tell you a story about that.

So we had Catherine Price on the podcast, and she talked about so many things we loved.

Go back and listen to that episode.

We'll link to it-

I was so grateful for this conversation with Ruby.

It reminded me of two others that we've had this year, one with Cody Cook-Parrott about the practice of attention, another with Catherine Price, more specifically about how our kids are showing up around devices.

I think those make excellent pairings, and I have linked to both in the show notes for you.

This podcast is listener supported.

For those of you who are new around here, each week I release bonus episodes that step a little outside the core of minimalism and decluttering conversations you typically hear on the show.

They're meant to speak to different interests and seasons of life within this community, so not every bonus episode will be for every listener.

If today's conversation isn't quite what you're looking for, check out one of the other episodes that drop this week, or meet me back here next week.

It's about becoming more thoughtful about when to worry, when to seek help, and when our kids may simply just need more time and space to develop.

Quickly before we get into the conversation with Katie, I would love for you to hit five stars or leave a review if you haven't done so yet.

This is one of the best ways that you can support the podcast, and I know there's so much content out there to consume these days, so it doesn't go unnoticed that you continue to show up week after week, episode after episode of The Minimalist Moms Podcast.

So thank you, thank you.

And with that, let's get into this important conversation with my guest, Dr. Katie Davis.
