Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Betina and Jen explore the deeper psychology behind our relationships with material possessions. They examine how moving beyond pure materialism doesn't mean rejecting all things, but rather developing intentional connections with what we own. The conversation weaves through practical fashion philosophy (including the art of mixing high and low-end pieces) while maintaining minimalist principles that prioritize quality over quantity.The hosts share their preference for timeless wardrobe staples that transcend seasonal trends, discussing how this approach reflects broader life values. Jen opens up about her current project of transforming her living space into a welcoming environment designed for connection and hospitality. Throughout their discussion, they reveal how our choices about what to keep, display, and surround ourselves with serve as mirrors for our inner emotional landscape and personal growth.Time stamps:00:00 Intros01:04 Attachment Temp Checks11:35 The high value of beauty24:28 Backstory: Different approaches to minimalism and what we each hold on to25:14 Do the things you have spark joy?31:55 Having a right relationship with things39:50 Life Focus: How our relationships with objects reflect our relationship with ourselves46:30 How differently the hosts view boho styles50:28 Betina’s Christmas decorating goals52:45 RecipesClick the following link to access Betina’s Creamy Chicken and Rice and Rajashree Auntie’s Pav Bhaji : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vYPlgZDOmx5B0bbIIHsQTbjNWIE4Ua3yt-amULPa2-Y/edit?usp=sharingMusic Credits:0:00 “For My Good” - AFTR17:24 “Caribbean Taco” - HATAMITSUNAMI33:57 “Back at It” - Dyalla52:21 “Bukina B” - Gil Felix61:41 “Side by Side” - Tomas SkyldebergFollow Links:https://www.instagram.com/whatsthetemp_Follow on Facebook:https://www.https://www.facebook.com/whatsthetemppodcastSubscribe on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@WhatstheTempPodcastContact:[email protected]
