The boys are back and this time Jesse returns from his trip to Sumer Games Fest. He's got a few games to talk to Crendor about, but really today we're all about Miley Cyrus! Okay not really, but Crendor has been sleeping on Costco wine and that's basically the same thing. And of course no episode would be complete without an insane story of a bear committing insurance fraud. All this and more on a brand new Cox n' Crendor!

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
In this Good Stuff episode of the Paring Down podcast, I want to share about the flip side of joy—as in, what's getting in the way? So I decided to put together a list of 10 things that are stealing your joy and offers practical, research-backed ways to subtract them from your life. You'll learn: • What "personality trait" isn't one that you have to accept...you can free yourself from its trap! • How to avoid feeling low on time to get everything done • All about "attention residue" • The difference between problem solving and rumination ...and so much more! You can work on removing one thing at a time, and notice how much more room there is for joy when you stop letting these sneaky distractions and habits get in the way.

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
What a treat today! Acclaimed engineering professor and author Leidy Klotz joins me on Paring Down to explore how our environments shape our lives more than we realize. From decluttering to designing meaningful spaces, this conversation will change how you see both your home and your habits. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why we instinctively add instead of subtract (and how to train your brain to notice better solutions) • How your environment is connected to “Self-Determination Theory," plus simple ways to design spaces that help you thrive • Why nostalgia can't be bought, how overconsumption disrupts it, and how to intentionally create meaningful memories in your spaces This conversation is not only enlightening, but is deeply touching. I know it will change the way you see the world around you.

The strategies in today's episode are practical and life-changing! I had so much fun hearing from Kate Vanness-Kandoth on how her background in science and process improvement led her to rethink decluttering as a systems problem—not a motivation problem. She brilliantly shows us how to reduce friction, eliminate waste, and create sustainable systems that actually support real life. You'll learn: How to use the LEAN framework to identify hidden sources of waste in your home—like overbuying, waiting, and unnecessary effort How the 5S method creates lasting organization A simple but powerful decluttering method called “red tagging” that separates decision-making and makes letting go easier ...and so much more. When you design your home around what actually matters to you, your space stops working against you. PARING DOWN (SHANNON LEYKO): Sign up for my newsletter! The L.E.S.S.

What does it really look like to build a joyful life through hard work, resilience, and purpose?

From 2:30 a.m. wake-ups to community impact, this conversation dives deep into finding joy through discipline and meaningful work. In this episode, you'll learn: Why working hard with your hands can increase joy, fulfillment, and mental well-being in a digital world The realities of small farm life in Alaska, including dairy farming, animal care, and rural challenges How resilience is built through loss, setbacks, and uncontrollable circumstances The powerful connection between purpose and long-term happiness How simplifying your life and “paring down” can help you focus on what truly matters This episode will leave you rethinking convenience, embracing hard work, and rediscovering joy in the simple, meaningful things.

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
In this episode, we unpack why "having fun" can feel elusive or even guilt-inducing, and how to create more genuine fun in our daily lives as adults. The big pictures is that fun isn't optional for creating joy, so we need to be intentional about what it means to us...and then have more of it. I go over: Why adults often think of "fun" as it relates to childhood—and how that drains joy The misunderstanding that having fun means doing something easy How to define fun on your own terms (instead of what looks “fun” to others) 10 things I personally don't think are very fun (sorry for the hot takes) When you stop trying to make fun look a certain way, you can finally start experiencing more of it!

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
How would your loved ones feel if they had to go through your stuff after you're gone? It's tough to think about, but the emotional weight of decluttering is heavy for those we leave behind. No one wants their family grieving while sorting through a lifetime of belongings—wondering what to keep, what to toss, and what any of it truly meant. That's where Swedish death cleaning comes in. More than just decluttering, it's a thoughtful, intentional way to organize your life now so your loved ones aren't overwhelmed later. I was so happy to sit down with Emily McDermott of Moms Overcoming Overwhelm to talk through: • What types of things to declutter and organize today in the off chance we pass away unexpectedly • What is "the sign up list" and how does it preserve your family's relationships? • What book do we recommend to help you through the process?

In this Good Stuff episode on the topic of joy, I sit down with psychologist Janet M. Gibson to explore the psychology of humor and how it impacts our mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. We break down how humor works in the brain, why we all find different things funny, and how laughter can reduce stress and boost joy. What you'll get out of it: Why laughter is powerful for stress relief and mental health The science behind different senses of humor How humor strengthens relationships and connection Practical, everyday ways to use humor to feel happier If you're looking to boost your mental health, reduce stress, and feel more connected, learning to use humor intentionally can be a simple, science-backed way to do it.

Have you ever felt like decluttering makes other people in your life defensive? Like you're judging them–even though you're not? In this episode, I'm talking about the relationship tension that can come up when we choose to live with less stuff. I break down why people might feel judged: Natural comparison Identity tied to possessions Cognitive dissonance Psychological reactance The spotlight effect And what I personally do to keep things positive: Keep it personal (“this works for me”) Avoid “should” language Stay curious about others Don't give unsolicited advice Never gossip I hope this episode helps you better understand where other people's defensiveness might come from (and your own!), and how to navigate lifestyle differences without straining relationships or compromising your own values to keep the peace.

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
We often take our senses for granted, and rarely think about how to intentionally use them to create more joy in our lives! So today, we talk about: • An overview to better understand all of our senses (beyond the primary 5!) • How our senses affect our emotions (a scientific understanding) • Practical ideas for how to produce joy through each of our 5 main senses: sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing PARING DOWN (SHANNON LEYKO): Website: www.shannonleyko.com Instagram: @shannonleyko TikTok: @shannon_leyko Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@shannonleyko Facebook: www.facebook.com/shannonleyko.paringdown Weekly Newsletter: The L.E.S.S.

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
Today we welcome on Chris Lovett to talk about minimalism in the workplace, or as he calls it "corporate minimalism": • How did Chris' personal journey with decluttering lead him to corporate minimalism? • Who is responsible for eradicating pointless busy work — employees or executives? • What happens if we opt out of "mandatory" meetings? • How has Covid changed how we work? Whether you work in corporate or not, this episode has plenty nuggets of wisdom for productivity and focusing on what truly matters.

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.Bjorn Bolinder—photographer, NXIVM insider, and the guy on the ladder in The Vow Episode 3—finally tells his story. For NXIVM nerds, this is the episode you've been waiting for: a behind-the-scenes perspective from someone who witnessed it all but stayed largely unknown to the public. Bjorn walks us through his recruitment in January 2015, how a midnight kitchen conversation about curing Tourette's syndrome planted the seed, and why he signed up for his 5-day already knowing it would be expensive and a pitch.He opens up about his initial resistance on days two or three (and how one module blew right through it), the overwhelming workload as a V-Week photographer working until 2 a.m. for what amounted to $7/hour in "work exchange," and meeting Keith Raniere for the first time with stars in his eyes. Bjorn shares why Nippy was such a green flag for him—in an organization that felt safe after a childhood of being bullied in macho dance studio and school environments—and how NXIVM's Goals Lab became a place where he felt genuinely supported and seen.This first part is all green flags with tiny red ones creeping in around the edges. Thursday's Part 2 brings Pam Cafritz's memorial, the blow-up, and how Bjorn finally figured it out after we left.Follow Bjorn's work at findthelightphotography.com and on Instagram @findthelightphotography.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of childhood bullying and homophobia.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.In this episode, Tia Levings—bestselling author of A Well-Trained Wife and survivor of Christian fundamentalism who appears in the Amazon docuseries Shiny Happy People—returns to dig deeper into what happened after escaping her high‑control marriage and the broader world of Christian patriarchy and homeschooling that enabled it. She talks about navigating the court system and custody battles with an abuser who knew how to weaponize “godly fatherhood,” how churches and pastors closed ranks around him, and what it really takes to rebuild a life, parenting, and identity after years inside complementarian theology, Quiverfull‑style gender roles, and domestic violence justified with Bible verses.Tia also shares how writing, advocacy, and connecting with other survivors of religious abuse, authoritarian homeschooling, and Christian nationalist culture have become part of her healing—and why she believes telling messy, complicated stories about faith, family, and freedom is one of the most powerful ways to push back on the systems that trained her to stay small and silent in the first place.Paperback copies of A Well-Trained Wife are available February 20, and you can pre-order Tia's upcoming book, I Belong to Me, coming May 5. Follow her at tialevings.com and on social media @tialevingswriter.Trigger warning: This episode contains frank discussion of domestic violence, religious and spiritual abuse, child and family trauma, and brief mentions of suicidal thoughts.Also…let it be known that:The views and opinions expressed on A Little Bit Culty do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.
