I enjoyed this conversation very much, thank you for sharing it!
Before I had children, I read a lot about voluntary simplicity and had many discussions with people who were also drawn to that. (This is a sinkhole topic for people who need higher than typical amounts of autonomy.) How do you structure your life around what is meaningful to you? How can you live deliberately? Thinking about that has helped us as we became parents and our children grow up. There's always tension there, if you are in community, because few people have identical ideas about what is meaningful or how to apply values to a situation. And few people have identical needs or capacities, all of which change over time. Yes, it is a conversation that never stops!
