#211: Stewardship Reset for 2026 - A Year of Enough
Feb 19, 2026
Season 5
Episode 211
This year, I’m treating 2026 like a stewardship reset.
In this episode, I walk through the discretionary spending categories I’m tracking — groceries, household sundries, kids’ gear, memberships, family outings, clothing, and more — and how I’m identifying the “slow bleeds” that quietly add up. I also share why I’m prioritizing second-hand purchases, repairing before replacing, and using what we already have (yes, even the unopened lipsticks).
We simply have enough. And this year, I want to live like it.
