Topics
Sarah Wilson: 我从小在自给自足的农场长大,这塑造了我极简主义的生活方式。在《Cosmo》杂志工作期间,我也坚持极简主义,这与杂志的消费主义理念形成对比。我写了一本关于系统崩溃的书,探讨了文明衰落和社会问题。我与年轻人的约会经历也反映了我的生活态度。在巴黎,极简主义更受尊重,人们更注重经典款而非快时尚。我不买入时尚潮流,并鼓励女性也这样做。我建议人们过充实的生活,建立社区,分享技能,为应对未来可能发生的危机做好准备。 Brittany: 我对Sarah极简主义的生活方式和她在《Cosmo》杂志工作期间的经历很感兴趣。我也对她的新书连载形式和内容感到好奇,因为它涉及气候变化和世界各地的政治环境。 Laura: 我对Sarah在不同政治气候下如何展示自己,以及社交媒体趋势的兴衰很感兴趣。我也对她在经济紧缩时期美容标准的博客文章很感兴趣。

We previously had Sarah on the podcast 2 years ago) where we spoke about dating in your forties, how Sarah had moved to Paris with only own 2 suitcases worth of belongings! Since we last spoke, Sarah has ended her long-running podcast Wild, and started serialising her new book on system collapse. Today, we’re talking about the chaos we’re all living through — the systems collapsing around us, the tech bros running wild, and the very real sense that everything’s just... a bit cooked.

We also dive into:

Living in a minimalistic way and how it’s classy in some cultures Australia is a young person’s culture with botox, lashes and ‘invisible’ older women Should we also have a tax on fast fashion? How beauty ideals change based on what’s going on economically  What it means to find meaning in messy times Why Sarah’s book will likely be banned in the US Why community and connection are more important than ever
