Author of Practicing Simplicity, Jodi Wilson faced a fear of complacently which grew bigger than her fear of change and it prompted her to pack her 4 young chillins into a caravan for a life on the road and the building of a whole new rhythm. Over the coming years, they got comfortable in the discomfort of change, uncertainty and discovered that the ritual of stirring porridge shouldn’t be underestimated, nor should the remarkability of the ordinary. She encourages us all to take small steps and make brave choices. We need to step outside our front doors, go for a walk and chat to our neighbours.
*Recorded pre federal election
Deciding, on a whim to take her 4 children around Australia in a caravan
Letting her intuition dominate her decisions towards a leap of faith
Consciously close mental tabs
Unravelling the sense of obligation to time frames and social norms
If we are privileged enough to make choice, we have a responsibility to make change
Why it’s important we don't get stuck in our bell jar
How a life on the road in a caravan with 6 people helped refine what we really need in our life.
Making conscious decisions
Sustainability as humans - constantly running,
Creating a life she believed in not one she was wedged into
Intuition led - heart and gut. If it doesn't feel right it can’t be continued
Why she cant access her intuition or gut instinct if she is anxious
Spending time in nature, barefoot on sand, in deserts,
Finding a sense of belonging and connection in ancestral landscapes
Making major decisions via a woven path of experiences
The romance of a roadtrip was appealing but the reality was that I had to get dirty
You carry the dirt of your travels are carried in the crevices of your skin
Reminiscent stories of they’re 2.5 years on the road
Settling in Tassie in a 1950’s bungalow
Defining what it is you DO WANT
Creating ritual and time for self while on the road
Looking at the stars and basking in the silence of the night
Creating more time in your life because of the choices we’ve made
Simplicity starts where you are with what you have - simplicity is an attitude and a mindset
Simplicity ebbs and flows with the demands of our lives
Collective heartache and collective exhaustion
We haven't evolved from the primal beings we are but we have been distracted.
Nothing gets done unless you take small steps towards it
Replacing the perfectionist hurdles of ‘shoulda’ with the compassionate reality of “I will when I can”
Feeling like a local when the neighbours stop for a chat and the shop owners know your name
Living with little and raising her kids to see this gives her hope
