What exactly is Mindful Consumer School?

Mindful Consumer School is an online resource hub and course platform designed to help people pause, rethink, and reshape their shopping habits. We teach practical ways to reduce overconsumption, save money, and make more sustainable choices, without guilt or perfectionism.

Do I have to give up shopping completely?

No. The goal isn’t to stop buying forever, but to help you become more intentional with your purchases. You’ll learn to pause before you buy, consider alternatives (like borrowing, repairing, or thrifting), and only spend when it truly aligns with your values.

How will this actually save me money?

When you reduce impulse purchases, plan more intentionally, and reuse what you already own, the savings add up fast. Many participants report saving hundreds of dollars during even a single challenge. Plus, the habits you build now continue to compound over time.

I’m busy—how much time does this take?

Everything at Mindful Consumer School is designed to be simple and doable. Challenges like the 1-Week Pact or 1 Year Buy Nothing Course take just a few minutes each day to reflect, track, or check in. The goal is to fit into your life, not overwhelm it.
