How underconsumption can teach us all to be happier with less

  • Sumário

  • In today’s episode, we dive into the trending hashtag #UnderConsumptionCore and its impact across social media. We discuss its TikTok origins and how it aligns with minimalism. We also emphasize the need for nuance and caution against it becoming just another fleeting trend. Our conversation covers how guilt and shame can influence sustainable change and the limitations of short-form platforms like TikTok for deep reflection. We also explore the risk of turning under-consumption into a competition — and remind ourselves and you that It’s about mindfulness in buying and spending, not a race to own the least.
