But like so many big life changes, the decision to shift who she was and how she interacted with the world had a much bigger impact than she expected. Now Cait Flanders, author of the best-selling book Year of Less, has morphed her \u201cless\u201d habit to one of purposeful opt-outs, choosing to say \u201cno\u201d to the cultural expectations that keep her life from looking the best way it can for her. So what does that have to do with going outside? Both her book Adventures in Opting Out: A Field Guide to Leading an Intentional Life, and her podcast with a similar title, Opting Out, take a look at saying \u201cno\u201d to things that won\u2019t help you make the life you want -- whatever you believe that to be -- and \u201cyes\u201d to what will move you forward. In this episode of Humans Outside, Cait takes us on her own journey, giving us opt-out tips and teaching us what it means to make space for your own joy.
