Ep 215 Jodi Wilson - Learning to See the Earth with Your Body, Not Just Your Eyes. Summer Days Throwback 2026

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 References Practicing Simplicity - book, blog and socials of Jodi Wilson Kirsten Bradley Futuresteading conversation Radical Hope Club Buy the Book - Futuresteading - Live Like tomorrow matters Support the show Casual Support - Buy Me A Coffee Regular Support - Patreon Support the show
