Welcome to the Saturday post. This is where I summarize podcasts that inspired me throughout the week and give a quick recap of what was covered on both blogs. Enjoy!
PodList
This week, there are four podcasts that stood out to me. There is a mix of habits, problem solving, finance, and sustainability. I hope you find a couple that resonates with you.
Have You Ever Walked a Desire Path?. 3 minutes. Little Happier. This quick listen explains what a desire path is and how we might look for them in our lives to make simple changes that make us happier.
Start a Financial Self-Care Routine. 15 minutes. Life Kit. This podcast is great for anyone looking to start or adjust their financial routines. This one could be good to pass to others in your life as well.
Want to Improve Your Career? Become an Uncertainty Killer. 9 minutes. Optimal Work Daily. This episode covers how to ensure everyone is up to date on information they are interested in.
Headlines: Climate Litigation. 15 minutes. Sustainable Minimalists. As sustainability and climate change continue to move to the forefront, I think this is a good overview of people taking legal action.
Blog Post Recap
Below is a summary of the personal development blog posts this week with links in case you want to dig in and learn more. You can sign up to get the newsletters direct to your inbox at LoriSullivan.com.
Slowing Down to Speed Up – The first post of the week explored four benefits of planning. While it’s counterintuitive to think that stopping to plan would save time….it does.
National Relaxation Day – Tuesday was National Relaxation Day, and this post provided some ideas of what you might do to rest, relax, and celebrate.
Personal Retreats – Following up on the ideas of planning and relaxation, this post talks about the benefits of a personal retreat (a couple hours at home or a trip) and how to plan the event.
Do Adults Need Recess – A lot of research has been done on why recess makes sense for children. This post looks at those benefits and makes a case that adults could use recess for these benefits too.
Breaking Routines – I love a good routine, yet sometimes breaking them makes sense. This post explores why breaking routines from time to time can be beneficial.

The Ripple Effect – Often people ask the question, “how will my eco-changes make a difference?” This post talks about how your personal actions shift, expand, and grow over time to make a more significant impact than you think.
As we move toward fall, this is one of the best times of year to start new habits. Looking at your lifestyle and finding ways to live greener and remove toxins from your home could be a great focus. Pick up a copy of One Shade Greener at Home on Amazon to get you started on your journey.
