Look around your house. Think about your stuff…is it weighing you down, perhaps putting you in debt? (Not to mention its effect on our landfills.) In our consumer culture, we’re programmed to want—driven by slick advertising and a search for fulfillment. 

Kathleen chats with Tia Meer, founder of the Simple Living Institute and advocate of a bare-bones, non-materialistic lifestyle. Tia shares how she and her husband opted out of materialism and quickly found more meaning and freedom in their lives—from their relationships to their finances. They built their house together, purged their home of unnecessary material goods, and became self-sustaining. Tia gives tips on how everyone can take steps towards a simpler life—and the rewards that come when we stop focusing on stuff and reconnect with each other. She also talks about what it felt like when Oprah came a calling...

Tia Meer, along with her husband, is the founder of the Simple Living Institute, a non-profit that strives to create a stronger community that values the environment, personal health, and a self-sufficient lifestyle. The couple lives outside of Orlando, Florida.
