For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes with unique topics that may not interest my wider audience so if this topic doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation about decluttering self-talk that you don't want to miss! Busy moms often have trouble with their digestive health. What could be a possible culprit? One possibility is the pantry. We find ourselves running into issues: feeling bloated, uncomfortable in our favorite clothes, and left not knowing how to navigate this health space in a way that works for our bodies. On today’s bonus episode, Leeann Rybakov joins me to discuss ways that the pantry is contributing to digestive health issues and how to swap out for healthier options! Even just "minimizing" the ingredients (knowing what should stay and what should go) list can be a game changer!

This conversation is rooted in a Christian perspective, because that’s Glen’s background and mine as well. But the heart of this episode isn’t about Christianity - it’s about humanity, growth, grace, and learning to show up fully for ourselves and the people we love. Whether or not you share our faith, the themes we explore today are universal, and I truly believe there’s something here for everyone. ----------------------- What if being a great parent starts with healing yourself first? In this episode, I’m joined by Glen Henry, creator of Beleaf in Fatherhood and author of Father Yourself First, to talk about why true parenting begins within. Glen shares his journey from reluctant dad to one of today’s most inspiring voices in modern parenting, and how confronting our own wounds allows us to lead our families with more empathy, patience, and love. We explore breaking cycles, redefining masculinity, and learning to show up for our children by first showing up for ourselves — a powerful reminder that growth at home begins with growth within.

Jeff Bailey, founder of Avita Yoga and author of Mobility for Life, has spent decades helping people move with less pain and more awareness. His approach flips traditional yoga on its head - focusing on shapes instead of poses, slowing down instead of pushing through, and healing the body by working with it, not against it. In this conversation, we talk about why flexibility is overrated, how mobility is the true key to lifelong health, and why mindful movement might just be the missing piece in your minimalist lifestyle. If you’ve ever felt limited by your body or burned out by “doing more,” this episode will show you a gentler, smarter way to move - and to live.

If most of us were honest, I’m sure we’d all admit to impulse shopping from time to time. From a basic perspective, we may assume it’s only a financial problem; however, it’s both a personal and psychological issue, too. The question is: how do we stop the impulse before it happens? Joining me today to answer this question (and more) is founder of the Inspired Budget, Allison Baggerly. She defines impulses spending and addresses the reasons we tend to impulse spend (and (steps for how to stop), plus more that you don’t want to miss!

Today’s guest says the hardest part of grief isn’t the heartbreak itself — it’s how unprepared we are for it. When life changes in an instant, most of us don’t have a roadmap. Theo Boyd knows this firsthand. She’s lived through the kind of loss that rearranges your world, fractures your sense of normal, and forces you to rebuild from the ground up. And through that experience, she discovered something rarely spoken aloud: most of us are grieving in isolation, trying to navigate feelings no one ever taught us how to carry. Links Discussed in This Episode | Book: My Grief Is Not Like Yours: Learning to Live after Unimaginable Loss—A Daughter's Journey Connect with Theo: Book: Hope All the Way: Discovering Divine Signs in Life after Loss Website Instagram About Theo | Thelizabeth “Theo” Boyd was born and raised on a farm in Whitney, Texas, named after her grandmothers Thelma and Elizabeth. Known as “Theo” since middle school, she began writing poems with her father and learning resilience from her mother. She pursued higher education later in life, becoming a high school English and Creative Writing teacher—earning “Rookie Teacher of the Year” her first year—and contributing as a newspaper columnist. In 2019, Theo experienced a traumatic loss that inspired her debut memoir, My Grief Is Not Like Yours, and launched her podcast, Think Theo, where she explores the complexities of grief. Since the book’s release in May 2023, Theo has been featured in numerous media outlets, including Newsweek, AARP, and The Daily Mail, and has received 17 national and international book awards, including the Indie Excellence Award, two Global Book Awards and the 2025 Texas Rising Lone Star Author Award. Her upcoming book, Hope All The Way: Discovering Divine Signs in Life After Loss (Forefront Books, December 2, 2025), is a heartfelt guide to help readers move through their grief and transition loss into purpose and hope. When not writing or speaking, Theo enjoys farm life with her dog, Manly, as they build their new home. She is passionate about helping others navigate grief, using both personal stories and national research to offer hope and healing, and has recently become a Certified Grief Educator.

Today’s guest says moms aren’t burned out because they’re doing too little — but because we’ve been taught the wrong version of self-care. Elisha Beach, writer, speaker, and mom of eight, is here to rewrite the script. After her own public meltdown, she rebuilt her life through practical, unglamorous self-care that actually works — the kind behind her new book, Balance Is Bullsh t*. We talk about why “balance” is a myth, how to spot burnout before it hits, and what real self-care looks like when life is busy and loud. If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at self-care, this episode offers simple, grounding shifts that truly support your well-being. Links Discussed in This Episode | Diane's Resource: Book: The Power of Fun: How to Feel Alive Again by Catherine Price Connect with Elisha: Instagram Book: Balance Is Bullsh*t: The Truth About Motherhood and Self-Care About Elisha| Elisha Beach is an experienced speaker, writer, and professional mom of 8. After going viral in 2015 for posting a relatable photo of herself breastfeeding her daughter while on the toilet, she responded with a Huffington post article, joined the popular parenting blog Scary Mommy as a staff writer, and founded The Mom Forum to continue her mission of unabashedly sharing the realities of motherhood. More recently, following the birth of her youngest child, she had a very public “mommy meltdown” that led her to reflect on the ways in which she takes care of herself; Elisha spent over a year learning how to prioritize her own needs before combining what she learned, along with her skills as a Certified Strategic Planner, to self-publish The Mom Selfcare Planner—a guide for everyday moms to create realistic self-care practices. The enthusiastic feedback has spurred her to take her writing to the next level by pairing the tools from her workbook with refreshingly honest storytelling for a more expansive guide. The result: her upcoming book, Balance Is Bullsh*t: The Truth About Motherhood and Self-Care.

Before we jump into December, I wanted to bring back an episode that just hits perfectly right now. And yes - I know I’ve already dropped a couple of holiday episodes this month, but this one is definitely worth revisiting. So I thought: what better moment to replay this conversation with my good friend and professional organizer, Tracey Showalter? She’s amazing at helping people create calm in busy seasons, and she’s full of simple, practical tips that actually make the holidays feel lighter. Plus - we have that hilarious little debate about whether or not to send Christmas cards. If you’ve ever questioned if they’re worth the effort, you’re gonna relate. ---------------------------------------- For many, the holiday season often stirs up a range of emotions. Whether it's juggling multiple social gatherings, engaging in conversations with family members, or managing the responsibilities of hosting (and maintaining a picture-perfect home for holiday cards), the pressure can outweigh the joy we associate with this time of year. BUT FRET NOT - there are solutions for you and I'm bringing in a good friend to help - professional organizer, Tracey Showalter.

So many moms feel like they’re living with a storm constantly brewing under the surface—and today’s guest gets it because she’s lived it. Jessie Ereddia, Certified Anger Management Coach and host of the Mom Empowered Podcast, joins us to talk about her transformation from “angry mom” to empowered, grounded parent. Jessie opens up about the moments that broke her, the tools that rebuilt her, and why the goal isn’t to become perfectly calm—but deeply authentic. We explore what anger is really signaling, how to break the cycle of yelling and guilt, and why solitude, self-love, and trusting your gut might be the missing pieces in your healing. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, reactive, or ashamed of your own anger, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and hope for a new way forward.

Today’s guest says the problem isn’t that kids hate fruits and vegetables—it’s that we’ve forgotten how to make healthy food simple, fun, and actually doable. She’s on a mission to help families ditch the guilt and perfectionism around food and find joy in feeding their bodies well again. Brittany Shaver, mom of three and head of content at Clean Food Dirty Girl, joins me to talk about simple, realistic ways to get your family eating more fruits and vegetables without stress, shame, or chaos. In this episode, we unpack what it means to lead by example, let go of “perfect eating,” and build healthy habits that last. If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting to eat better and just trying to survive dinner time, this conversation will help you find the sweet spot between healthy and human.

We’re all using — and parenting around — a technology we didn’t grow up with, so it makes sense that we feel overwhelmed. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr, researcher, professor, and author of Smartphone Nation, to talk about how we can move from feeling powerless to empowered in our digital lives. Dr. Regehr introduces her groundbreaking concept of “digital nutrition,” a framework that helps us understand which types of screen time nourish us — and which quietly drain our energy, focus, and joy. Together, we explore how to set thoughtful tech boundaries, guide our kids toward healthy digital habits, and reclaim presence and peace in a hyperconnected world.

Think minimalism means a perfectly curated, always tidy home? Think again. Drowning in tides of toys, overflowing closets, and a crazy schedule, Rachelle Crawford assumed you had to be naturally organized to keep a tidy living space. Then she found minimalism: the messy, real-life kind, that is less about perfection and more about purpose. Becoming a messy minimalist is not about turning into someone else; it's about clearing away clutter and expectations to unearth who you really are. Join me today as I speak with Rachelle about her journey into 'messy minimalism' and how we can inspire those around us to begin their own step into minimalism (whether big or small!)

Today’s guest, Becca Loveless , says the real crisis isn’t scarcity—it’s forgetting how to live with less on purpose. As the season shifts into fall and the holidays approach, Becca - a voice of honesty in sustainability, minimalism, and intentional living - shares how slowing down and choosing less helped her escape debt, consumer pressure, and the urge to keep up. We talk about the difference between being frugal and being cheap, why under-consuming can be an act of freedom, and how to spend well—on what aligns with your values, not trends. We also unpack seasonal consumerism, the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, and how thoughtful spending can lead to more joy, not less.

This week I want to have a discussion on the idea of our possessions 'sparking joy' as we declutter. The method comes from author, Marie Kondo in her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. The idea has become a mainstream thought; however, is it really the best way to approach decluttering? I bring you some personal thoughts on this subject, as well as dive into a discussion with Marie Kondo consultant, Sarit Sela.

In this episode, I speak with Brian Page, a nationally recognized financial education leader and founder of Modern Husbands, to explore what happens when a love for simplicity meets a partner’s preference for abundance. Together, we unpack how differing money mindsets and childhood experiences shape financial values, and how empathy, communication, and understanding each other’s “why” can bridge the gap between frugality and minimalism. Brian shares practical insights on how couples can navigate these differences with respect and curiosity. Whether you’re a devoted minimalist or simply striving for financial harmony in your relationship, this episode offers real-world advice and actionable strategies to help you find balance and peace around both money and stuff.

YouTuber and mom Sarah Therese is trading her family home for life in a trailer — and she’s taking us behind the scenes of what it actually takes to downsize with kids. In this conversation, Sarah gets honest about why she’s choosing less, what she’s learned about attachment and identity through decluttering, and how minimalism looks different when real life (and real mess) are involved. We talk about the mental load of motherhood, the emotional side of letting go, and the unexpected freedom that comes from owning fewer things. Sarah shares the small systems that keep her home and mind organized — from kid’s clothing bins to simplified routines — and the mindset shifts that made it all possible.

Are you pouring your energy into everything and still feeling like it’s never enough? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Diana Hill—clinical psychologist, co-author of ACT Daily Journal, and author of the upcoming book Wise Effort: How to Focus Your Genius Energy on What Matters Most. Grounded in psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative practices, Diana helps us explore how to stop scattering our energy and instead focus it on what aligns with our values, our families, and our well-being. We discuss what it means to identify your “parenting genius,” how that strength can sometimes become a stumbling block, and practical ways to conserve and redirect your energy so you can show up more fully in the areas that matter most.

If you’re struggling to meet your goals, the problem may not be effort—it’s that you’re still trying. In this episode, author and motivational speaker Carla Ondrasik joins me to share insights from her new book, Stop Trying!: The Life-Transforming Power of Trying Less and Doing More. Drawing from her unconventional childhood, career in music publishing, and experience as a mother, Carla challenges the way we use the word “try” and makes the case for a powerful mindset shift: replacing trying with doing. We dive into the psychology of language, the difference between half-hearted attempts and decisive action, and why accountability and small, achievable steps are key to lasting change. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of “trying” without results, this conversation will give you the tools and encouragement to stop spinning your wheels and start moving forward with confidence.

This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss! ---------------------------------------- Do you long for deeper connection but feel overwhelmed at the thought of opening your home? In today’s episode, I’m joined by Abby Kuykendall, author of Let the Biscuits Burn , to talk about reclaiming hospitality as a practice of care and connection - not perfection. Abby shares how hospitality has less to do with spotless homes and gourmet meals and far more to do with creating space for community. Drawing from personal stories, practical tips, and biblical wisdom, she helps us break free from excuses like “I can’t cook” or “my house is too small” and instead embrace the transformative joy of welcoming others into our lives. Abby reminds us that true community begins not with performance but with presence. All the links discussed in the episode can be found here.

In this episode, I’m joined by Amy Hughes—writer, speaker, and mother of nine—whose new book Words Like Honey helps parents recognize the unintended harm in common phrases like “Hurry up,” “Calm down,” or “Don’t be sad.” Amy explains how these words can cause stress, anxiety, or self-doubt, and offers life-giving alternatives that nurture confidence, security, and resilience. Filled with relatable stories and practical wisdom, this conversation will encourage you to parent with intention and use words that truly build your child up.

What if “control” didn’t mean perfection, but peace? In this episode, Christina Lee, co-founder of Graceful Spaces Organizing , shares how she’s reclaiming the word “control” — not as a path to perfection, but as a tool for peace. We talk about the difference between healthy control and perfectionism, how simple systems can reduce overwhelm at home, and why an organized space should reflect your values, not Instagram standards. Christina opens up about a time she felt completely out of control, the mindset shifts that brought her back, and how parents can take small, doable steps toward a calmer, more empowered home.

Is motherhood supposed to define everything about who we are as women? In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, therapist and author Vanessa Bennett joins us to discuss her new book The Motherhood Myth —a resource that’s less about parenting tips and more about rediscovering ourselves as whole, complex individuals. Vanessa opens up about her own journey navigating codependency, partnership, and the pressures of modern motherhood—revealing how societal systems shape the way women experience identity and fulfillment. Together, we dive into why motherhood should be part of who we are, not the whole , and how reclaiming individuality creates healthier families and stronger communities. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The hidden cost of tying your entire identity to motherhood How societal myths and expectations keep women stuck in self-sacrifice The importance of boundaries, inner work, and self-discovery Practical ways to model wholeness and empowerment for your children Why reclaiming yourself is not selfish—it’s essential for future generations While I may not personally agree with every perspective shared in this conversation, I believe it’s important to engage with diverse voices and ideas around motherhood and identity. My hope is that these conversations encourage reflection, dialogue, and deeper understanding as we each navigate what it means to be women and mothers in today’s world.

What if you could help your kids—and yourself—move through the day with more calm, focus, and balance? In today’s episode, I’m joined by Lisa, an educator with a background in psychology, who brings a wealth of experience in early childhood education and social-emotional learning.

In this episode, Erin Flynn—entrepreneur, author, and founder of the Cladwell app—joins us to talk about the moment she found herself surrounded by 450 pieces of clothing and asked, “How did I end up here?” Her memoir, The Road Less Worn , is a journey through identity, cultural expectations, and what we hold onto—literally and figuratively—that no longer fits.

Many of my current listeners may have missed this earlier episode with guest Sarah Therese—and even if you’ve heard it before, it’s definitely worth a re-listen, especially if you're parenting a child who struggles with independent play. In this thoughtful conversation, we dive into the importance of solo play in childhood, how to support it in age-appropriate ways, and whether there’s such a thing as too much independence. Sarah also offers practical tips for mamas whose kids just aren’t getting the hang of it yet. It might take some trial and error, but the growth and freedom that come with independent play are well worth the effort! Connect with Sarah Therese online here.

What if thinking about death could actually help you feel more alive? Drawing from her upcoming book Your To-Die-For Life: How to Maximize Joy and Minimize Regret…Before Your Time Runs Out , Karen Salmansohn challenges the idea that we have "someday" to chase our dreams or deepen our relationships. She unpacks the concept of “near-life experiences”—when people feel like they’re just going through the motions—and offers actionable tools to snap out of autopilot and into a life that actually feels worth living. Through personal stories (including the loss of her father), cutting-edge research, and deeply practical strategies, Karen shares how embracing “death awareness” can heighten joy, motivation, and presence. If you're tired of procrastinating on your purpose, stuck in the cycle of distraction, or just curious about how thinking about death can make you feel more alive, this conversation is a must-listen.

Diane sits down with the founder and CEO of the Undo app, Cate Zoltan, to explore a radically different approach to meditation—one that starts in the body and leads to real, lasting transformation. Born from a method developed by her husband, a former Yogi Monk, the Undo app offers a unique, body-based practice that moves beyond traditional, goal-oriented meditation. Instead of striving for enlightenment or mental stillness, this method helps users reconnect with their physical selves, process unresolved emotions, and gently release stored trauma.

Childhood isn’t what it used to be. Puberty is arriving earlier—sometimes as young as eight. Bullying now follows kids home through texts and DMs. And rates of anxiety, depression, and emotional distress are climbing fast. For many parents, the challenges feel overwhelming, especially while juggling their own stress and uncertainty about how to help. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Sheryl Ziegler—clinical psychologist, play therapist, TEDx speaker, podcast host, award-winning author of The Crucial Years , and mom of three. Together, we explore what’s really going on with kids today, why middle childhood (ages 6–12) is more critical than ever, and how parents can offer meaningful support. Dr. Ziegler shares research-based guidance and actionable tools to help you raise resilient, emotionally healthy kids in a rapidly changing world.

In this episode, Diane talks with educator and author Lily Howard Scott about her new book, The Words That Shape Us , and the powerful role language plays in a child’s emotional and cognitive development. Drawing from her experience as a former third-grade teacher and her work with schools and families, Lily shares how everyday words and phrases can shape how children see themselves, manage emotions, and build resilience. She explains the science behind how language affects the brain and offers practical tools for fostering self-regulation, curiosity, and healthy self-talk in both classroom and home environments. From shifting perfectionist thinking to using language that separates feelings from identity, this conversation is full of grounded examples for parents and educators looking to support emotional growth through intentional language.

In this episode, we’re joined by speaker and author Justin Jones-Fosu to explore how respectful disagreement can be a powerful antidote to today’s growing loneliness epidemic. With half of Americans reporting just three or fewer close friends, we examine how fear of judgment, cancel culture, and surface-level conversations are driving disconnection. Justin unpacks concepts like the “dotted line dilemma” and the “illusion of asymmetric insight,” showing how our assumptions often block true connection. He also shares practical strategies to foster curiosity, embrace open-hearted dialogue, and stay present—even when we disagree. This conversation is a compelling reminder that we don’t have to agree to connect—we just have to keep talking.

This podcast is part of the Clear Intentions series of the show. Here to share her deeply personal journey through infertility and ultimately, surrogacy is my friend (and fellow podcaster), Keri Croft. On this episode, Keri opens up about her decision to pursue surrogacy, the support systems that sustained her, and the workshop she created to help others find their dream surrogate. This powerful conversation is a testament to resilience, community, and the courage to keep moving forward. The conversation covers Carrie's private battle with infertility, the decision to pursue surrogacy, and the emotional, financial, and logistical aspects of finding a surrogate. Diane's Note: Surrogacy can be a complex—and sometimes even controversial—topic that touches on deeply personal, ethical, and emotional layers that vary widely from one person’s experience to the next. While opinions may differ, it’s important to approach these conversations with empathy and openness. Listening to real stories—like Keri’s—offers a powerful opportunity to move beyond assumptions and gain a deeper understanding of the realities many individuals and families face. By learning from others’ lived experiences, we not only broaden our own perspective but also become better equipped to support and stand alongside those in our lives who are navigating infertility, loss, or alternative paths to parenthood.

She spent 15 years in IT sales, finishing her corporate career as an Enterprise Director at AT&T before launching her own fitness brand, System of Strength. The company grew to include multiple studios and a global digital platform. Keri brings a mix of grit, heart, and honesty to everything she does—on the mic and beyond. Enjoy the Podcast?

This podcast is part of the Clear Intentions series of the show Stoicism combined with empathy may sound like a contradiction in terms. But when these seemingly opposing forces are harnessed together, they have the power to change your life. In today's episode, I explore the concept of "stoic empathy" with award-winning lawyer, speaker, and thought leader Shermin Kruse. Blending cutting-edge research, ancient Stoic wisdom, and practical strategies, she challenges the traditional view of empathy as purely emotional, instead introducing a cognitive approach that allows us to understand others without losing control of our own emotions.

This podcast is part of the Clear Intentions series of the show. Why do we instinctively add more—but rarely consider taking things away? In this episode, Leidy Klotz joins us to explore the hidden power of subtraction and why our brains are wired to overlook it. Drawing from his book Subtract, Leidy explains how this instinct to add can lead to unnecessary complexity, missed opportunities, and burnout. But this conversation goes far beyond minimalism—it's about rethinking how we approach challenges and choices in every area of life. We also dive into practical ways to shift our mindset and discover Leidy’s unexpected path to becoming a behavioral science expert. If you’ve ever felt buried under the weight of “more,” this episode will open your eyes to the liberating potential of “less". Links Discussed in This Episode | Connect with Leidy: Instagram Website Book: Subtract: The Untapped Science of Less About Leidy| Leidy Klotz is an award-winning professor, international speaker, and the acclaimed author of Subtract, whose groundbreaking research – published in both Nature and Science – has shifted our understanding of how to approach problems and create change. Leidy knows design – the craft of changing things from how they are to how we want them to be. Which, he reminds us, is something we all do every day. Leidy has given more than 100 invited talks for organizations and universities including Stanford, MIT, and every member of the Ivy League (except Yale). He has been interviewed for Hidden Brain (NPR), Freakonomics, and The Atlantic. And he has written for The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, Scientific American, and The Washington Post. An experienced educator, Leidy has taught thousands of students as a professor at the University of Virginia, including 21 Ph.D. advisees whose designs and teaching shape the world. Diversity and inclusion are core tenets of Leidy’s work, as more than three quarters of his advisees are from groups underrepresented in their respective fields. Before he taught design, Leidy designed schools in New Jersey. And before that, he played professional soccer. Enjoy the Podcast? Post a review and share it!

Every relationship has its highs and lows, but we often don't know what to do with our "lows," or how we ended up there. In today’s conversation, I sit down with therapist and author Dan Allender to discuss his new book, Deep-Rooted Marriage . He shares how deeper intimacy can be a source of healing and joy. More often than not, the hidden forces fueling conflict and disconnection stem from the unresolved stories of our past. But if we’re willing to examine them with honesty and courage, we can begin to rewrite a new, more hopeful story for the future.

This podcast is part of the Clear Intentions series of the show. What if true happiness isn’t found in material wealth but in something far more profound? In this thought-provoking episode, I spoke with Jeff Golden, author of Reclaiming the Sacred , to explore his decade-long journey of gathering wisdom from psychologists, activists, saints, and poets. Jeff shares how his diverse life roles have shaped his understanding of joy, presence, and interconnectedness.

This podcast is part of the Clear Intentions series of the show. What happens when the high-paced glamour of city life loses its shine? In this episode, I’m joined by my friend, Claire Denault, a second-generation homeschool mom and public speaker, who shares her transformative journey from the opulence of Dallas to the quiet, intentional living of a small North Carolina town. Claire opens up about the stark contrast between high-profile city life and the deeply fulfilling existence she’s found in nature, family, and presence. We explore her unique upbringing on a hobby farm in upstate New York, her quest for excitement in the city, and her ultimate realization that true contentment lies in simplicity. A passionate advocate for homeschooling and strong family connections, Claire challenges the modern rush for “more” and makes a compelling case for slowing down, tuning in, and embracing a life rooted in what truly matters. Whether you're a parent, a city dweller contemplating change, or simply curious about a different way of life, this episode will leave you inspired to rethink the choices that shape your daily world.

Are you tired of the question, “What do you do?” as an at-home parent—a question that oversimplifies and undervalues the role? In this podcast episode, I spoke with Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled, to explore the multifaceted reality of taking a career break after having kids. We discuss the invisible yet essential labor of managing a household, the need to redefine success during this unique life phase, and practical ways to stay connected to professional goals while prioritizing family. Neha offers actionable strategies for remaining prepared to re-enter the workforce when the time is right, while also addressing the cultural stigma surrounding career pauses. Together, we reframe parenting as a valuable and fulfilling chapter, challenging outdated narratives about success and family balance. Whether you're navigating this journey or curious about modern perspectives on work and family, this conversation offers an empowering look at thriving in every phase of life.

This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week about personal style with Conni Jesperson or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss! In this episode, I spoke with author, Whitney Lowe to discuss her new book, Set Your Eyes Higher , a devotional designed to help young women navigate life through the lens of faith and abundance. Together, we delve into how shifting from a scarcity mindset to one rooted in God’s provision can transform the way we approach consumerism, minimalism, and the true meaning of fulfillment. Whether you’re seeking a deeper connection with God or looking for ways to simplify your life, this conversation is full of encouragement to set your sights on a higher purpose. About Whitney | Whitney Lowe is a Christian influencer who wants to see young women excited about God’s work: in the Bible, in history, in the world, and in themselves. She writes and creates on Instagram at ScribbleDevs, a project born from the realization that young women simply do not interact with the Bible enough to be changed by its truth. Whitney is passionate about disrupting the toxic scroll of social media with hope, peace, and light straight from Scripture. She lives in Denver, Colorado, with her husband—a pastor—and their two young children.

Her work and writing focus on what young people need to build lives and futures they love.

Join me for a conversation with author, Carlos Whittaker on his transformative journey embarking on a bold experiment: disconnecting from screens for seven weeks. Immersing himself first in the serenity of a remote monastery, then on an Amish farm, and finally at home, Carlos saught to unveil the profound impact of being unplugged in his mind and spirit. Through this exploration, he discovered new dimensions of presence, mindfulness, and inner peace, revealing how stepping away from the constant buzz of technology can lead to deeper connections with both the world and oneself. Episode Chapters | 00:00 | Introduction and Different Approach to Technology 02:55 | The Negative Impact of Screens and Technology 07:46 | Setting Boundaries and Prioritizing Relationships 12:46 | Identity and Disconnecting from Screens 18:24 | Learning from the Amish and Community 18:50 | Living with the Amish and Monks 19:23 | Making Technology Decisions Based on Connection 21:12 | Reintegrating into Regular Life After a Screen-Free Experience 23:37 | Implementing Small Changes to Reduce Screen Time 25:57 | Savoring Moments and Finding Wonder in Everyday Life About Carlos | Carlos Whittaker is bringing hope to humans all over the world. And he’s pretty good at it: he’s an author, podcaster, and global speaker backed by the power of a massive Instafamilia, his enthusiastic social followers who tune in daily to join forces with Carlos to find connection, do good, and be in community. When Carlos enters a room, he makes people feel seen. His superpower is creating spaces—online and in-person—where people are safe to engage in conversation about the topics that matter most but are often avoided. His motto: don’t stand on issues, walk with people. That’s the professional stuff—but all day every day, Carlos is a family man. He and his wife Heather live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their three amazing children, where you can find them working on the family farm, planning trips around the world, and dancing to Single Ladies (seriously, Google it).

Joining me today is the lovely, Kelly Weekers. Kelly is now one of Europe’s leading psychology experts, a 3x best-selling author, a regular spokesperson in the international media, and most importantly, a devoted mother of two. Her latest book, Choosing Me, speaks to being able to choose yourself, upgrading your inner circle, how to find out who you are and what makes you happy, and many more hard-hitting truths that will help you uplift your life, authentically. Today we dive into all of these topics as well as, Kelly sharing her insights on balancing self-love with selflessness - something I wanted to be sure to touch on! Episode Chapters | 01:28 | The Importance of Authenticity and Self-Discovery 07:19 | Choosing Me: Balancing Self-Love and Selflessness 16:25 | Reconnecting with Your Inner Voice 23:00 | Finding Balance: Taking Care of Yourself and Others About Kelly | As a child, I was always intrigued by why people act the way they do. I was and still am an introvert, who was always observing others. My interest in human behaviour led me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Neuroscience followed by a master’s degree in Clinical and Health Psychology. Over the course of a decade I have distinguished myself as one of Europe’s leading psychology experts, a 3 x best-selling author with hundreds of thousands of books sold, a regular spokesperson in the international media and TV panellist on the topic of authenticity, self-love and personal growth. I’m grateful to work with many well known names in the industry helping them to overcome stress, anxiety and self-doubt by crafting a life that is authentic to them. Although I’m very proud of the impact my work makes I’m most proud of being a hands-on mom to two amazing girls.

Choosing to be a stay-at-home mom often entails significant sacrifices, particularly when it means transitioning to a single-income household. For some, this decision aligns with long-standing plans and financial preparations. For others, it may come unexpectedly, driven by a deep desire for more time with their children, prompting a search for ways to supplement lost income. Regardless of where one stands on this spectrum, today my guest, Jenna Griffith (host of the Joy-Filled podcast) and I aim to share ideas on generating income from home without the need to develop a personal brand, pursue influencer status, or engage in social selling. These alternatives offer viable paths beyond the commonly touted options, providing flexibility and financial independence suited to varying family needs and preferences. About Jenna | Jenna Griffith is a lifelong Jesus follower, mom of three, and host of a chart-topping Christian motherhood podcast. Jenna is passionate about helping moms experience joy in every season of motherhood and life, because she knows how it feels to live without it. After walking through postpartum depression and anxiety, and feeling as though she was the only one experiencing the struggles she faced, Jenna was determined to come alongside other moms in the same season as her and remind them of two things: they’re never alone, and there is always joy. And with that, The Joy Filled Podcast was born. Through weekly episodes filled with Gospel centered encouragement and teaching, Jenna helps thousands of women in every season strengthen their relationship with Christ so they can experience the purpose, confidence, and joy that is only found in Him; making them equipped for whatever comes their way in the hard and holy work of motherhood.

A lot of my current listeners may have missed this previous episode with guest, Luke Burgis (and even if you did hear the original, it’s a great one to re-listen to as you understand how mimetic desire may appear in your life!) Once you learn about mimetic desire, you realize how much it has impacted your life, how much it is all around us and how to begin to set yourself apart... Mimetic desire — the act of desiring simply what others desire – imitating what others want instead of developing our own intentional, conscious wanting – is powerful in our development, our world and in our everyday lives. Today’s guest, author Luke Burgis, shares his expertise about this concept, how society influences mimetic desire, how we can determine what we truly desire, the impact we can have on the desires of those around us and more! ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Resource: Motivational Code Connect with Luke: Website Instagram Substack Book: Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire Episode Sponsors | The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors.

"Feeling good starts with food. When you eat in a way that nourishes your body, you don’t experience cravings and you don’t feel hungry, restricted, or deprived. You feel satisfied and energized. You begin to crave the food that makes you feel good. As you begin to feel better from the inside, your mind becomes clearer. You start to feel hope, and that feeling of hope opens up all kinds of possibilities for your health and your life." - Cara Clark Joining me today is renowned nutritionist and wellness educator, Cara Clark. From advising A-list celebrities to guiding Olympic athletes, Cara has helped her clients feel better in their bodies by moving away from “dieting” and instead understanding the connection between what we eat and how we feel. In this episode, we dive into various topics such as limiting information consumption, regulating blood sugar, navigating indulgences (while maintaining self-awareness), understanding disordered eating, embracing movement that resonates with you, and much more. ------------------------------- Our Sponsors: * Check out Acorns Early: https://acornsearly.com/MINIMALISTMOMS * Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com * Check out Everyday Dose and use my code MINIMALIST for a great deal: https://everydaydose.com * Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/MINIMALIST * Check out PharmaNutra and use my code MINIMALIST for a great deal: https://pharmanutra-us.com Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/minimalist-moms-podcast-simple-living-for-overwhelmed-moms/exclusive-content Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

I'm not the 'crunchiest' person but I aspire to add more of a 'crunchy' touch to my life so I was thrilled to speak with Emily Morrow, creator of the hilarious Instagram account, Really Very Crunchy. Emily has garnered over two billion views and over two million followers in two years with comedy sketches about the stereotypical “crunchy” moms. Her mission? To relieve pressure from being the perfect mom and bring lightheartedness to the serious issue of toxic products, and well, people. In today's conversation we discuss: simple swaps for a crunchier lifestyle, financial considerations, balancing crunchy choices with non-crunchy ones, navigating family relationships as crunchy moms, and more... ------------------------------ Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast NEW EBOOK | Let's Simplify: Newborn + Postpartum Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast Book: Simply Living Well by Julia Watkins Connect with Emily: YouTube Instagram Book: Really Very Crunchy by Emily Morrow Enjoy this Podcast?

The set up of today’s conversation is slightly different than previous episodes. Alissa has been a previous guest on the podcast so we just jumped right into our topic: the struggle of infertility and the emotional process of letting go of baby items. In our conversation, Alissa discusses the mindset shift from holding onto hope to embracing gratitude for what she already has. She also emphasizes the importance of not feeling alone in this journey and encourages listeners to consider decluttering as a positive step forward. Many of you have reached out asking how to declutter those items you just can’t let go of - specifically baby items - and my hope is that this conversation provides some answers for you - even if your only takeaway is more confidently knowing that you aren’t alone. ------------------------------ Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast NEW EBOOK | Let's Simplify: Newborn + Postpartum Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast EP207: Swedish Death Cleaning: Mandatory or Morbid?

A lot of my current listeners may have missed this previous episode with guest, Tanya Dalton (and even if you did hear the original, it’s a great one to re-listen to as you discover the joy of missing out in your own life!) This episode is full of reminders for how we can gracefully say "no" (and to use it as a full sentence), quick tips to establish more JOMO in our day-to-day and more... This week, I speak with author, Tanya Dalton. Tanya Dalton is a productivity expert, writer, speaker and founder of inkWELL Press Productivity Co, a company centered around productivity tools and training. Her first book, The Joy of Missing Out, will release October 1st. In her highly anticipated first book, Dalton inspires women to reject the pressure to do more, be more, and achieve more. She shows them how to focus on what's important to them and then helps them develop their own unique productivity systems. Today, we will speak to the themes in her book and discuss why it's so important for each of us to discover JOMO for ourselves! ------------------------------ Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast NEW EBOOK | Let's Simplify: Newborn + Postpartum Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast Connect with Tanya: Book: The Joy of Missing Out by Tanya Dalton Website Instagram Enjoy this Podcast?

This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week with Renee Benes or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss! "It might be ugly, but that closer look allows us to recognize and name our challenges, and that is the first step towards freedom." Most of us struggle to admit we have limitations, let alone actually rejoicing in them; however, my guest today, author, Sara Hagerty has learned how to better recognize (and accept) her boundaries and limitations. In today's conversation, we explore how idealism, while often celebrated, can impede personal growth, fostering dissatisfaction and burnout. We also discuss how grieving the loss of certain expectations and embracing our limits can ultimately lead to greater contentment and peace. ------------------------------ Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast NEW EBOOK | Let's Simplify: Newborn + Postpartum Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast Connect with Sara: Book: The Gift of Limitations by Sara Hagerty Website Instagram Enjoy this Podcast?

I'm delighted to be joined by the host of the Mamahood podcast, Maren Droubay. On this episode, Maren graciously shares some personal experiences that have profoundly shaped her appreciation for motherhood. It's often overlooked just how fortunate we are to be mothers. Yet, when the prospect of being a mom is nearly taken away, we gain a profound understanding of its value. In this episode, we'll delve into what motherhood signifies to both of us and explore the ways in which we actively embrace and cherish the role of motherhood in our daily lives. ------------------------------ I want to hear from you !

This week, I bring you my interview with Laurie Palau from Simply B Organized. Laurie Palau. Laurie will give us some insight as to how she has created this community but we’ll specifically be discussing organization with children. We may have the highest hopes for getting our homes organized but then we must deal with the clutter that derives from our kiddos. How do we encourage our kids without coming across as a nag? How do we set boundaries as our kids age? How do we implement new rules with our older, high school aged children? Laurie will answer all of these questions and more in our interview today! We Discuss: When to begin to implement organizational strategies for our children. How to remain motivating rather than nagging our children. Best strategies for encouraging: Adolescent children Middle school children High school children Implementing new 'rules' for teenagers that are already established in 'their ways' Setting appropriate boundaries that encourage independence but still allow adult control. ------------------------------ Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast Connect with Laurie: Instagram Website Enjoy this Podcast?

As we approach the new year, I wanted to replay one of my favorite episodes from 2019. A lot of my current listeners may have missed this one (and even if you did hear the original, it’s a great one to re-listen to over the next couple of weeks as we begin setting intentions for the new year). This episode is full of reminders for how we can implement new, simple rhythms to combat stress/anxiety or to simply start better habits. ----------------------------------- This week, I speak with author and national speaker, Rebekah Lyons. An old soul with a contemporary, honest voice, Rebekah reveals her own battles to overcome anxiety and depression—and invites others to discover and boldly pursue their purpose. Her work has been featured on Good Morning America, CNN, Huffington Post , Publisher’s Weekly , and more. Today, she is here to speak about her most recent book, Rhythms of Renewal. We discuss the importance of rest, stepping away from technology, and creating rhythms in our day-to-day which ultimately help to renew our body and soul.

After losing her husband to a drunk driver in 2016, Krista St-Germain 's life was forever altered. More than 5 years later, Krista now serves a network of over 18K widows while being a mom, grief expert, and host of the Widowed Moms Podcast . In this interview, Krista St-Germain shares her personal journey as a widowed mom and how she helps others navigate grief. She discusses the process of going through possessions and belongings after the loss of a loved one and offers advice on making decisions without regret. Krista emphasizes the importance of allowing all emotions and finding happiness again. She also highlights the benefits of coaching and the power of community support. TAKEAWAYS Grief is a complex process that involves a range of emotions, and it is important to allow oneself to experience and process these emotions. When going through the belongings of a loved one who has passed away, it is helpful to start with less emotionally charged items and take it at a pace that feels manageable. There is no right or wrong way to grieve or make decisions about possessions. It is important to be kind to oneself and not worry about what others may think. Supporting someone who is grieving involves being present, listening without judgment, and offering practical help and acts of service. It is important to have conversations about difficult topics and provide support for those going through grief. ------------------------------ Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast Book: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes by Caitlin Dougherty Connect with Krista: Website Instagram Podcast: The Widowed Mom Podcast Enjoy this Podcast?

"What now? I am out with lanterns, looking for myself. But here’s the thing about carrying light with you: No matter where you go, and no matter what you find—or don’t find—you change the darkness just by entering it. You clear a path through it.... A quote from Emily Dickinson that begins the lovely new memoir of poet, Maggie Smith. I picked up her book on vacation over the summer and finished within a couple of days. What some are calling a 'divorce memoir' actually discredits the profound truths of self-discovery in life's second chapter. Join me for a bonus discussion with Maggie Smith as she explores: "the power of learning to come home to yourself." ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Substack: Minimalist Moms Podcast Conversation Starter Cards Laura Fenton Substack Connect with Maggie: Book: You Could Make This Place Beautiful Substack Instagram Website Enjoy this Podcast?

I rarely re-release an episode but I found myself scrolling through the podcast archives and saw that this episode had very few downloads. I looked at the release date and noticed that it had originally aired in the early summer of 2020. I can pretty much guarantee most of us were a bit distracted at that point in time but this is a conversation that is a worthwhile listen. So here we go - a replay of "Values-Based Budgeting" with my guest, Janice Scholl. --------------------- Today I bring you my conversation with host of the The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast, Janice Scholl. Janice has made an entire career out of talking about money and business. She found her purpose when she began mentoring female entrepreneurs in 2012. Today, we define how value-based budgeting varies from a typical budget. The budget is designed to help people have the money to spend it on the things they want to. It shouldn’t feel like a restrictor but an enabler. Changing your family’s financial future requires a change in behavior and there’s no better time to start than today. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Connect with Janice: Instagram Podcast: Raising Middle School Girls Enjoy this Podcast?

Joining me for her second appearance on the show is professional organizer, Tracey Showalter. As a compassionate guide, Tracey takes it upon herself to lead her clients towards a brighter, more intentional life. Tracey challenges the prevalent idea of "never enough" in American culture, encouraging her clients to appreciate the sufficiency of their homes and lives. Today, we explore how a minimalist, intentional lifestyle can help confront insecurities and unlock new possibilities when we embrace the power of saying "no." It’s time for you to let go of societal pressures and start living with self-assurance. What’s holding you back? Note: I wanted this episode to feel like a conversation between two friends who were both pursuing an intentional life - which is exactly what we are and what we’re doing! ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Diane's Resource: Unlearn: 101 Simple Truths for a Better Life by Humble the Poet Beneficial Resource: Rachel Cruze Connect with Tracey: Instagram Website View the entire show notes page.

“Life will always be chaotic, but you can own your calm within the chaos.” Finding calm in chaos is a skill set we have to learn. Constant chaos in our lives leads to stress/overwhelm and, typically, everyone around us suffers too. I'm so excited about today’s interview with Jenna Hermans, the author of Chaos to Calm: Five Ways Busy Parents Can Break Free from Overwhelm . She’s an expert on helping parents move away from chaos and into calmness so that we can all create intentional lives that allow each member of the family to thrive. In this conversation, we talk about the "Five Pillars of Calm", the importance of communication, how Jenna has calmed her chaos and more. ----------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Book: Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker Podcast: Dr. Matthew Walker: The Science & Practice of Perfecting Your Sleep | Huberman Lab Podcast #31 Connect with Jenna: Website Instagram Book: Chaos to Calm View the entire shownotes page.

“I have too many clothes but nothing to wear.” It’s a common phrase that many of us think as we peer into our closets. But is there a solution? It’s my personal belief that decluttering can absolutely solve this problem; however, I think there are even more ways we can address this mentality. Joining me today to help find solutions to closet overwhelm is founder of the Cladwell app, Erin Flynn. As a working mom with limited time, Erin understands the challenges that many of us face when it comes to our wardrobes. She believes in the concept of "less is more," helping people refine their personal style, shop smarter, and get creative with their existing wardrobe. Erin emphasizes the importance of normalizing outfit repeats, living intentionally, shopping from our own closets, and, of course, clearing the clutter. The episode delves into these topics and more! ----------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Beneficial Resource: Rich Roll Podcast | Adam Grant Podcast | Brene Brown Podcast Connect with Erin: Instagram Website App: Cladwell App Enjoy this Podcast?

If you’ve been pursuing a minimalist lifestyle for awhile now, have you ever thought to yourself, “Am I a minimalist because I’m surrounded by maximalists?” In other words, am I able to enjoy the lavishness of someone else’s lifestyle without having to live that way in my day-to-day? The thought crossed my mind a few years back and I knew I wanted to discuss the idea on a future episode. Joining me for this conversation is Melissa Risenhoover. Fun fact about this episode: Melissa and I actually recorded at the beginning of 2021. We put the release date on hold due to Melissa’s move to Shanghai. When I finally went back to look for the recording, I thought I had lost it only to discover it last week on an old computer. After listening back, I knew this was a sentiment I wanted to share with all of you. There isn’t necessarily a conclusion we come to during the conversation, I do believe it’s something each person must conclude for themselves. If anything, I hope this dialogue gives you something to think about as you process why minimalism is important to you and your family. ----------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Connect with Melissa: Youtube Enjoy this Podcast?

Summer is upon us and, as kids are beginning to get out of school, now is a great time to involve them in the decluttering process. I thought now would be a great time to re-play one of my all-time favorite podcast episodes with my guest, Jenna Arvidson. In today's replay episode, Jenna shares (new-to-me) tips for where to begin, what to keep vs. what to toss, setting boundaries with our kiddos and how to keep toy clutter from returning!! ----------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Connect with Jenna: Website Instagram Podcast: The Simple Home Podcast Enjoy this Podcast?

Many Christians are stuck an in-between space of trying to do too much or too little. What we call purpose or vocation or calling can often seem so elusive—but God’s assignment for our each of our lives has distinguishable boundaries that encourage us to live according to His will. These boundaries are what Heather MacFadyen is here to help people discover in her new book, Right Where You Belong: How to Identify and Fully Occupy Your God-Given Space. On today’s episode, Heather answers questions such as: What do we do when life doesn’t look the way we expect How do we handle change (as it relates to career, marriage, parenting, and more) Why striving for purpose doesn’t always lead us to the right purpose How to better understand God’s assignment for our lives How to overcome the feeling of “missing out” (especially when struggling with comparison) ….and more… I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience so if this episode isn't something that fits what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week with Rina Bliss or join me back here next Tuesday for an episode that you don’t want to miss! ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Beneficial Resource: Step's Into God's Grace by Lynn Hoffmann Can't Stop Talking About: Sumo Oranges Connect with Heather: Website Instagram Podcast: Don't Mom Alone Book: Right Where You Belong by Heather MacFayden Show Notes for Bonus Episode: Right Where You Belong Enjoy this Podcast?

In today's episode, I speak with Dr. Rina Bliss, a leading expert on the nature of intelligence and its cultural significance. Dr. Bliss, who is a professor of sociology at Rutgers University, has spent over a decade researching the misconceptions surrounding intelligence and its assessment. In her latest book, Rethinking Intelligence: A Radical New Understanding of Our Human Potential, Dr. Bliss challenges the conventional wisdom that intelligence is a fixed, innate trait determined solely by genetics. Drawing on cutting-edge research, as well as her own experiences as a mother and a sociologist, she argues that intelligence is a complex and dynamic process shaped by a range of factors, including stress, connection, play, and mindfulness. Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of intelligence and its cultural significance. Dr. Bliss' hope is that this episode challenges us to rethink what we know about ourselves, our children and our human potential. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Connect with Dr. Rina Bliss: Website Instagram Tik Tok Show Notes for EP278: Rethinking Intelligence Enjoy this Podcast?

In the midst of the pandemic, while everyone in tiny apartments was looking to trade up to a larger home, Andee Martineau did the opposite. She and her husband sold their 7,000 square foot home in Arizona and moved their family of six (plus two kids in college) into a cabin by a lake in Utah. Andee went from having a two-story home with two kitchens and two laundry rooms to a two-story cabin with only two bedrooms and one bathroom. Yes: one bathroom. They weren’t broke, rather worn down. The fairy tale is the big house, but the reality was that Andee spent all of her time cleaning the 15+-room home, keeping up with 1.5 acres of land, managing the pool and raking the lawn. She desired for more time with family, but with all that space sometimes they were so spread out in the house - she'd had no idea who was doing what... In this episode, Andee will be sharing her story of how she made this decision, what inspired her to choose this path, and how it has impacted her family's life. She will talk about the benefits and challenges of living with less, including spending more quality time with her family and lightening the mental load that comes with having too much stuff. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Beneficial Resource: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. Beneficial Resource: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E.

In today's episode, I sat down with Dr. Emily Kline to discuss how Motivational Interviewing (MI) can be used to facilitate healthy communication between parents and young adults. Often used in healthcare settings, MI is a communication style that focuses on making positive changes, such as reducing drug or alcohol use, taking medications regularly, and other lifestyle improvements. However, Dr. Kline has adapted these techniques to help parents communicate with their young adult children more effectively. In this insightful conversation, Dr. Kline explains how parents can build stronger relationships with their children by using the principles of MI. By approaching difficult conversations with curiosity, asking good questions, listening carefully, repeating back what you heard, and giving advice effectively, parents can create a partnership with their children that fosters mutual respect and understanding. Join us as we explore these important techniques for making hard talks easier. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Beneficial Resource: The Good Life by Robert Waldinger Connect with Emily: Website: Dremilykline.com Instagram Show Notes for EP275: Unlocking the Secrets of Effective Parent-Child Communication Enjoy this Podcast?

As parents, we all know how quickly our children outgrow their clothes, and how tempting it can be to simply throw them away and buy new ones. But with the life cycle of kids' clothes being much shorter compared to adult garments, this can lead to a significant amount of waste. In 2018, the EPA reported, 17 million tons of textile waste ended up in landfills, compared to the 2.5 million tons that were recycled, it's clear that their work is more important than ever. That's where small business (and my guests today), Hand Me Up comes in! Hand Me Up's mission is to promote a circular approach focused on reuse and repair, which is key to extending the life of textiles. Join me for this interview with founders, Kara and Nicole to learn more about their inspiration, mission, and impact. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Diane's Resource: How to Sustainably Decorate Your Home Connect with Hand Me Up: Website: https://handmeupshop.com/ Instagram Facebook Show Notes for EP273: Giving Your Kids Clothing a Second "Life" Enjoy this Podcast?

Listening. It is one of the chief skills parents need with children. From paying attention to children to listening to teachers and doctors, much of being a parent consists of listening. Yet most parents only listen to about 3% of what is said. This means we often don’t hear important information relayed to us. Why is this? Why is listening so important to parenting? How can you improve your listening skills? Here today to discuss all of these topics and more is Christine Miles - author of the award winning and critically acclaimed book, What Is It Costing You Not To Listen? . Miles is known as ‘the listening guru’ and will discuss how critical that listening is to be a parent and shares tips on how to improve your listening skills. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Diane's Resource: Simplify Magazine (March 2023 Issue: Possessions) - Gain lifetime access for $7.50 here !

Have you ever observed the significant impact that can result from performing small, routine tasks, often referred to as rituals? Such rituals, including keeping a journal, drinking tea, lighting candles, taking daily walks, or choosing stairs over elevators, may have a profound effect on one's physical and mental well-being over time. Tamara Castelo, CEO of Tâmara Castelo Clinic in Portugal, believes that solutions exist for every problem, but people often struggle to access them due to a lack of direction and over-stimulation. Today, she joins us to discuss her new book, The Power of Rituals, and addresses questions such as the most effective simple rituals to reduce daily stress, the significance of daily rituals, the importance of physical touch, the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and more... ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Diane’s Resource: Yogi Egyptian Licorice Tea (I get mine on Thrive Market, if you're interested! ) Podcast Episode: EP743 Peter Attia on the Rich Roll Podcast Book: Outlive: The Science & Art of Longevity by Peter Attia Book: Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker Connect with Tâmara: Website Facebook Instagram Show Notes for The Power of Small Rituals Enjoy this Podcast?

In this episode, I delve into the topic of slow and simple living with my guest, Jillian Hankins. My conversation with Jillian felt like catching up with an old friend. We spoke for over ninety minutes. In the first half, we explored the significance of slowing down, even when it's challenging to quiet our inner to-do lists. We also discussed the common tendency to claim we live slowly while still getting swept up in the culture of busyness. The second half (that will air on Friday) focuses on Jillian’s passion to live according to natures rhythms/seasons. To live seasonally is more than what we eat, but reaches down into the very marrow of our days, how we move through the hours that we've been given with our families! ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Diane's Resource: Toy Trader App | Toy Trader App Instagram Connect with Jillian: Seasonal Guides: https://www.jillianmargaretwellness.com/shop Website: https://www.jillianmargaretwellness.com Free Gifts: https://www.jillianmargaretwellness.com/freebies Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillianmargaretwellness/ Show Notes for Slowing Down: Embracing the Simple Riches of the Season Enjoy this Podcast?

As young newlyweds, Jill Winger and her husband asked themselves one question that forever changed their lives: “Why do we have to do it like everyone else?” They set out on a quest for the answer, one path leading them to impulse-buy a neglected farmstead 40 miles away from the nearest grocery store.

Jill is the founder of The Prairie Homestead, a cornerstone of the modern homesteading movement since 2010. She is passionate about teaching old-fashioned skills, and encouraging a more thoughtful, time-honored approach to modern life.

Mothers often feel guilt when they pursue something that takes time away from their children, especially when that something could be deemed less important than parenting. Writer Ashlee Gadd felt the same way when she was navigating being a first-time mother, exhausted yet yearning to be creative. Now the mother of three, Gadd created Coffee + Crumbs, an online community for women wanting to express themselves through storytelling, and intentionally finds time to be creative. In her new book, Create Anyway: The Joy of Pursuing Creativity in the Margins of Motherhood Gadd gives readers permission to pursue their creative gifts alongside motherhood. On today's episode she’ll discuss: how being creative everyday makes you a healthier person and a better mother, why it is (more than) okay to create and mother at the same time, why it takes a village to raise our kids and also to make art and more… ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Beneficial Resource: Book: Adorning the Dark by Andrew Peterson Connect with Ashlee: Website Instagram Substack Book: Create Anyway by Ashlee Gadd Show Notes for EP259: Create Anyway Enjoy this Podcast?

Am I getting parenting right? Most parents at any and every stage, find themselves asking this question. Whether you’re sleep deprived with a colicky newborn or navigating the emotional roller coaster of a teenager, parenting has its ups and downs, its confusion and clarity, its big blowups and small victories. And no matter our family makeup or our children’s personalities, many of us experience anxiety over our children’s futures and often fear making a mistake.

Do you feel like you have too much stuff? A cluttered space isn’t just inconvenient - the truth is: it’s hard to lead a joyful, purposeful life when you’re drowning in possessions. That said, decluttering is more than just getting rid of the stuff you already have. To make a real change in your home, you need to examine how these excess possessions got there in the first place. Returning for her second appearance on the Minimalist Moms Podcast is author and professional organizer, Tracy McCubbin. She’s here to discuss the acquisition cycles that keep our homes overcrowded and distract us from going after the meaningful things we really want in our lives. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Previous Episode: EP241: Stop Attracting Clutter with Tracy McCubbin Book: Make Space for Happiness by Tracy McCubbin Show Notes for EP256: …But First, We Need to Address the Acquisition Cycle Enjoy this Podcast?

Have you ever felt like your habits are more like a ball and chain? Do they restrict you, keep you confined, or keep you from growing in the ways you really need to? If so, it’s time to recognize that you may need a different approach. Here to discuss flexible goal setting is host of the About Progress podcast, Monica Packer. On this episode, you’ll hear how Monica overcame a perfectionist mindset through flexibility and consistency - realizing that the two don’t compete with one another, rather they make each other possible. Monica’s approach to successful habit formation has allowed her to continually pursue goals while adapting to the various seasons of life: habits can be successful by doing your best, most of the time, over time . ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Show Notes for EP255: Small Shifts (& a More Effective) Approach to Bad Habits Enjoy this Podcast?

Who do you talk to the most? Maybe you’re thinking: “my spouse, my kids, my friends, or my coworkers.” This may surprise you but the answer is none of the above. On a daily basis, the person you talk to the most is, without question, yourself. We each have around 70,000 self-talk thoughts a day . And here’s the problem—80% of them are negative. When we hear a steady barrage of negative words from the person we talk to by far the most, life becomes anything but simple. Disempowering thoughts (I’m a bad mom, I’m a mess, I’m so overwhelmed, This day is terrible), especially when repeated often, drag us down and complicate our lives. These thoughts distract us from the present moment, keep us from meeting our goals and stop us from fully living our lives; however, what if we could apply the idea of decluttering to this area of life? Joining me today to encourage us as we ‘declutter’ negative self-talk is Julia Ubbenga, voice behind the popular social media account and blog, Rich in What Matters. Today Julia will take us through her process of forming better habits around the way we speak to ourselves. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Minimalist Resource: My Hygge Home by Meik Wiking Dr. Amen’s “ANT Catching” tool: https://ahha.org/selfhelp-articles/ant-therapy/ Dr. Amen book Article “Three things to say to your child every day” The Hope Effect IG Live with Becker: https://www.instagram.com/p/ClHLfG_AwlB/ Connect with Julia: website: https://richinwhatmatters.com/ instagram Show Notes for EP252: Let's Declutter: Negative Self-Talk Enjoy this Podcast?

We find ourselves running into issues: feeling bloated, uncomfortable in our favorite clothes, and left not knowing how to navigate this health space in a way that works for our bodies. On today’s bonus episode, Leeann Rybakov joins me to discuss ways that the pantry is contributing to digestive health issues and how to swap out for healthier options! Even just "minimizing" the ingredients (knowing what should stay and what should go) list can be a game changer!

Angela Lyons is a minimalist mom and avid traveler who loves to chat about finding balance, slowing down, and living an intentional life. Her family has undergone a few significant changes over the last few years at the hands of minimalism which has allowed them to embrace what is most important to them. As a part of this, Angela extensively decluttered her items, sold her house, elected to go part-time at her company to spend more time with the girls, and packed up the family for a 3-month trip to Peru. She is passionate about minimalism as a means to achieve her family's goals - which includes a bigger focus on travel, and less of a focus on all the "stuff". Today she’ll be sharing her story and best tips for simplifying your travel experience. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Previous Episode: EP236: Hacks for Family Travel with Chris Hutchins Beneficial Resource: Traveling with Kids Worldwide Group, Families Who Love to Travel Group, Travel with Kids Group Connect with Angela: Facebook Instagram Show Notes for EP249: Simplifying Travel Enjoy this Podcast?

Joining me today are relationship experts and founders of Marriage365, Casey and Meygan Caston. Casey and Meygan Caston were the couple least likely to succeed in their marriage. After meeting in college, they fell in love fast and then said I do. But after only three years, they were headed straight for divorce. Their relationship had fallen apart. Communication was lost. Their finances crumbled in the midst of the chaos and the worst part? They placed blame on each other for their bad marriage. But one thing they did agree on, they both didn't want to become another American divorce statistic. The Castons began searching for ways to do marriage right. They surrounded themselves with healthy couples, experts, books, and got therapy to make a relational transformation. But they admit that it was a long and really difficult process to find resources that were affordable and convenient, so they decided to do something about it and founded Marriage365. On today’s episode, Casey and Meygan discuss: how couples can focus on being intentional with their relationship and time together, simple ideas for emotionally connecting with your spouse, areas that couples need to de-clutter the most to have a minimalistic marriage and more… ------------------------------ As mentioned in the episode: Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Connect with Marriage365: Marriage365 is passionate about providing affordable, on demand resources for all couples so they can become the healthiest versions of themselves.

Just like there is slow food, slow parenting, and slow entertainment, friluftsliv is a form of slow nature. An outdoorsy cousin of hygge, friluftsliv ('free-loofts-liv') is what Nordic people do outside all day before they cozy up in front of the fireplace with their wool socks on and a cup of hot cocoa. The concept is humble, but revolutionary: Live simply. Go outside often. Be kind to the earth. Friluftsliv can be as simple as an evening walk around the neighborhood or as advanced as a multiday backpacking expedition in the remote wilderness, or anything in between.

As America attempts to recover nearly two years of “pandemic purchases” that have left our homes full of stuff, it’s no surprise that two-thirds of Americans admitted to having too many things in their homes, especially due to excessive online shopping during the pandemic. According to my guest today, celebrity decluttering expert, Tracy McCubbin, a cluttered space isn't just inconvenient―the truth is it's hard to lead a joyful, purposeful life when the things around you detract from your relationships, habits, and goals. On today’s episode, Tracy willl discuss why filling our homes with stuff leaves us feeling empty, and tips for bringing more happiness to our homes. And no, you cannot “Marie Kondo” your way out of clutter, says Tracy. If you want to get to the root of your clutter, Tracy says you need to address why you are attracting clutter in the first place. This discussion will encourage listeners to recognize the mind traps that leave us unable to let go of possessions that we don’t want, use, or love in order to make real change - to examine the deep root of how our excess possessions got there in the first place. ------------------------------ Tracy's Resource: Connect with Tracy: Website: dClutterfly Instagram Book: Make Space for Happiness by Tracy McCubbin Show notes for EP241: Stop Attracting Clutter Enjoy this Podcast?

Marketing and advertising companies get paid big money getting people to believe that they need more stuff. And consumers are told that buying new products will make them happier or skinnier or appear more successful.

Education is not solely about acquiring information and skills across subject areas, but also about understanding how and why we believe what we do. At a time where our online capabilities allow us infinite information and opinions, you can understand how parents (and teachers) worry about how students will interpret what they read and see. But how do we encourage them to examine different perspectives? How do we teach them the skills they need to become discerning adults? Joining me today is author, Julie Bogart who draws from more than 20 years of homeschooling experience and creating curricula. In this conversation, Julie offers insight and practical tips to help children at every stage of development to grow in their ability to explore the world around them. ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Book: A Place to Belong: Celebrating Diversity and Kinship in the Home and Beyond by Amber O’Neal Johnston Connect with Julie: Facebook Instagram Brave Writer Book: Raising Critical Thinkers by Julie Bogart Show Notes for EP234: Raising Children to Become Critical Thinkers Enjoy this Podcast?

Order (or Review) Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity There are two times each year that always encourage me to re-evaluate my routine. The first is at the beginning of a new year and the second is the beginning of a new school year. The back-to-school season (or any change in seasons, for that matter) is a great time to re-evaluate our daily and weekly routines to make sure they’re serving us. Most of our children are back in school (and likely have been for several weeks), so now is the perfect time to reassess what is working and what isn't. Joining me for the conversation today is the queen of routines, Ashley Brown (of Routine & Things).

Join me today for a conversation with world-renowned expert on performance, well-being, and sustainable success, Steve Magness. I recently heard Steve on an episode of the Rich Roll podcast and thoroughly enjoyed the conversation regarding mental toughness. As a mom to three young children, I recognized the correlation to mental toughness needed in parenthood. Having coached Olympic athletes and other top-performers, I knew Steve would be a great guest to discuss resilience but specifically, how we can train our brains to transcend the discomfort we will surely encounter in our parenting journeys. ------------------------------- Show Notes for EP231: Mental Toughness in Parenting Enjoy this Podcast?

As most of you know, a huge issue parents currently face is a sharp increase in screen time for children. In fact, a recent study by JAMA Pediatrics found that children’s recreational use of screens (not including time spent online for virtual classes) nearly doubled during the pandemic. Moreover, the study linked higher screen usage to poorer mental health and greater stress among teens. I, myself, acknowledge that screens themselves aren’t bad but strive to balance screen time with playtime. Joining me today to highlight the importance of screen free play and what parents can do to engage their children is Anna Yudina of the Genius of Play (whose mission is to provide families with the information and inspiration they need to make play an important part of their child’s day). Anna shares how play benefits parents, what play really means (how science defines play), importance of multi-generational play and more… ------------------------------- Show Notes for EP230: Simple Ways to Encourage More Play Enjoy this Podcast?

Joining me today is author, Catherine Pearlman for a conversation about first phones and digital safety. In her new book, First Phone, Catherine Pearlman—licensed clinical social worker and parenting expert—introduces 8 to 12-year olds (and their parents) to the concepts of digital safety, privacy, social media, cyberbullying, phone etiquette and how to set appropriate boundaries to establish a healthy digital relationship in an increasingly complicated online world. I hope this conversation gives parents peace of mind, tools to engage with their children and encouragement for their children as they internalize digital safety. ------------------------------- Show Notes for EP229: Addressing Digital Mistakes (& Other First Phone Tips) Enjoy this Podcast?

This is the first in a new series of the Minimalist Moms Podcast. Going Deeper episodes will be less structured with a more conversational tone. This week, I spoke with Tara Clark of Modern Mom Probs about growing up with a hoarder.

By tracking our unique monthly cycle, we can sync our activities for maximum effectiveness in every area of our life, including decluttering and living a more minimalist lifestyle. Decluttering can be emotional and physically demanding, and cycle syncing can ensure you are doing the right tasks at the right time to make the process easier and more enjoyable. Join me today for an in-depth discussion about this topic with registered nurse, Megan Rempel. Megan discusses how, as women, we have been gifted something pretty incredible with our monthly cycle. Our physiology, energy, focus, and emotional state are all impacted as we go through the 4 phases of our cycle every single month. For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes with unique topics that may not interest my wider audience so if this topic doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation about hoarding that you don’t want to miss!

Swedish Death Cleaning, or döstädning, is removing unnecessary items and preparing your home so that your loved ones aren’t burdened by them after you pass away. While the book that made it famous in 2017, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning by Margareta Magnusson, focuses mostly on people who are in their sixties or “when the time is coming closer for you to leave the planet”, there is no reason why we can’t start today as younger moms who don’t want to burden our spouse/partners and loved ones. One question: If you were to die tomorrow, what would your loved ones have to do? Here to walk us through the practicals of this question is writer and fellow minimalist, Emily McDermott. Emily will answer questions such as: Who is death cleaning for? How long is this process? Should we tell our families? What are the lessons we can learn from this culture?

We’ll be chatting all about the ‘power of fun’ on today’s episode! In our always-on, productivity-addicted lifestyles, we tend to think of the pursuit of fun as being indulgent or childish. We claim not to have time for it even as we spend hours a day engaging in what journalist and screen/life balance expert Catherine Price calls “Fake Fun”—binging Netflix, scrolling through Twitter, or indulging our FOMO on Instagram, all in hopes of filling some of the emptiness we feel inside. Through years of research, Price has learned the truth: far from being frivolous or a distraction, fun—or, as she calls it, True Fun—is actually the secret to achieving our goals. ---- Show Notes for EP204: The Power of Fun Enjoy this Podcast?

Think minimalism means a perfectly curated, always tidy home? Think again. Drowning in tides of toys, overflowing closets, and a crazy schedule, Rachelle Crawford assumed you had to be naturally organized to keep a tidy living space. Then she found minimalism: the messy, real-life kind, that is less about perfection and more about purpose. Becoming a messy minimalist is not about turning into someone else; it's about clearing away clutter and expectations to unearth who you really are. Join me today as I speak with Rachelle about her journey into 'messy minimalism' and how we can inspire those around us to begin their own step into minimalism (whether big or small!) ---- Show Notes for EP199: Messy Minimalism: Realistic Strategies for the Rest of Us Enjoy this Podcast?

People are excited to show their love by giving gifts (especially during the holiday season) but what happens when you receive something that you didn’t ask for or want? Knowing how to accept graciously is a skill that we all should hone; it should be your goal to make sure to respond in such a way that the gift giver knows you genuinely appreciate the gesture- even if the sweater is itchy or the perfume isn’t your signature scent.

My guess is if you surveyed any mom, she’d likely tell you she desires more intentional time with her child(ren). Whether she’s a working mom or stay-at-home mom, our days fill up fast. Not to mention, as our family grows or, inevitably, as our children grow older, it can be tricky to find the time to intentionally pursue them. Tricky but not impossible. Here today to offer wisdom from her own experience as the mother to seven children is founder of Chatbooks, Vanessa Quigley. She talks about what she’s done to initiate stronger relationships with each of them and how we can apply some of these methods in our own lives. ---- Show Notes for EP198: Initiating Stronger Relationships with Our Children Enjoy this Podcast?

Looking for a different take on parenting hacks? I'm thrilled to introduce you to Justin Whitmel Earley, a father of four teaching parents how to create structure from mealtime to bedtime through creating purposeful habits. You long for tender moments with your children--but do you ever find yourself too busy to stop, make eye contact, and say something you really mean? Daily habits are powerful ways to shape the heart--but do you find yourself giving in to screen time just to get through the day? You want to parent with purpose--but do you know how to start?

I usually don’t share guest quotes prior to the interview but my guest today, author, Erin Skye Kelly said something that really stuck with me, “Debt Is Clutter.” Debt is clutter and it leads to a lack of freedom. It was this lesson that I had to learn before I began to pursue the purging of material things. Intentionality with my finances came first and the clutter followed. This episode won’t suddenly eradicate your debt but I hope it provides you with tools and inspiration to see that debt freedom is attainable through discipline, but first and foremost, intentionality! ---- Show Notes for EP196: Becoming Intentional with Money Management Enjoy this Podcast?

On today’s episode, I speak with style coach, Kim Hancher. Kim teaches women how to create their unique style, dress their body type, and curate a capsule wardrobe so that they feel confident doing something you have to do every day, get dressed. In this episode, she discusses how to consciously curate a capsule wardrobe and (beyond that) how to wear more of the clothes you already have in your closet right now by incorporating her tried and true style concepts. Before we get into the conversation, I’ll leave you with this quote from fashion and beauty writer, Rae Ritchie, she says, “ It’s a misconception to think that minimalism and fashion are incompatible. It’s still possible to remain up to date with major trends and have a small capsule wardrobe. You just have to be judicious in your choices. Treat how you dress as a fun creative hobby, a chance to play. With a foundation of versatile basics, you can easily drop in a few items that catch your eye. ” I’d have to agree. ---- Show Notes for EP195: Feeling Confident in Your Capsule Wardrobe Enjoy this Podcast?

If you’re a regular listener, you’ll have heard me talk about decision fatigue or overwhelm. Children can become overwhelmed when given too many choices, including having many toys available at one time.

Order (or Review) Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity There are two times each year that always encourage me to re-evaluate my routine. The first is at the beginning of a new year and the second is the beginning of a new school year. The back-to-school season (or any change in seasons, for that matter) is a great time to re-evaluate our daily and weekly routines to make sure they’re serving us. Most of our children are back in school (and likely have been for several weeks), so now is the perfect time to reassess what is working and what isn't. Joining me for the conversation today is the queen of routines, Ashley Brown (of Routine & Things). She and I talk through tips that have benefited our personal schedules and other strategies that might be of benefit to you! ---- Show Notes for EP191: Reassessing Your School Year Routines with Ashley Brown Enjoy this Podcast?

Order (or Review) Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity As minimalists, our lifestyles are characterized by the pursuit of simplicity and freedom from possessions and consumerism. That said, sometimes we find ourselves weighed down and dealing with tasks or responsibilities that we can’t manage. Sadly, there are only twenty-four hours in the day, so the question becomes: how can we pursue freedom without feeling buried along the way? The answer may be outsourcing! But how exactly do we outsource as minimalists and what about costs (or the fact that I tend to be a bit of a control freak!) Answering these questions (and more) is entrepreneur, Rachel Luther. Rachel has spent the last 10+ years learning what it means to minimize her tasks and responsibilities so each "yes" has the greatest impact, whether it’s for her family, in her business, or as an actor. She was a virtual assistant before people knew what the term meant, and she has learned that outsourcing - in business or at home – isn’t merely hiring a VA. It requires creativity as you prioritize your passions and free your brain of the mental clutter and responsibilities taking time away from your true skills and passions.

As a busy mom with three young kids and a career, Christy knows how chaotic life can be - how balance feels like something that can never be achieved, no matter how hard you try. In her latest book, Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance , Christy argues that balance doesn't come from getting more done.

Order (or Review) Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity If you want to cook more at home, but don’t want to spend all night doing it, this is the episode for you! Join me today as I speak with author, Jenna Helwig. We’ll discuss how to simplify dinnertime so you can spend less time in the kitchen while still enjoying delicious meals. As I was flipping through Jenna’s new cookbook, the chapter titles resonated with me: Bare Minimum Time (30 minutes or less); Bare Minimum Ingredients (7 ingredients or less, including salt and olive oil); Bare Minimum Hands-On Time (slow-cooker and Instant Pot meals); Bare Minimum Clean-Up (one-pot/sheet pan/skillet meals); and Bare Minimum Sides (super-simple vegetables, salads, and grains so you can feel good about serving healthy, well-rounded dinners). Jenna’s advice for cooking is actually to do less: to pare back, to embrace some store-bought shortcuts, to eliminate fuss, and, in the process, extra dirty dishes. ---- Show Notes for EP188: Bare Minimum Dinners Enjoy this Podcast?

In this day and age, it can be difficult to truly feel present in motherhood. We have so many roles we’re juggling, schedules to manage, self-care to maintain (not to mention remembering little details - such as what to add to the grocery store list or that school pickup is early on Friday.) The question is: how do we manage presence when it feels like we’re pulled in various ways? Joining me today to talk through this topic is author, Sarah Bragg. Sarah wrote about this topic (and more) in her recent book, A Mother’s Guide to Raising Herself . Today we’ll be discussing how to cultivate presence : how can we challenge ourselves to be more present in the moment without needing to document everything on Instagram/social media? How we can be more present as mothers, wives and friends? And how we can teach our children to cultivate presence in their own lives? ---- Show Notes for EP187: Being Present IS Winning Enjoy this Podcast? Post a review and share it!

Did you know the average American child spends a mere four to seven minutes outside each day. On the flip side, the average American child spends four hours a day on screens. While some of this screen time may serve an educational purpose, there's no way that most kids need that much of it. As parents, it' can be tough to swap screen time for outdoor time but the benefit(s) are so worth the challenge. Here to encourage us in this area is creator of the movement, 1000 Hours Outside (which urges parents to get their children outside for one thousand hours each year), Ginny Yurich. In our conversation she offers practical wisdom and inspiration to help you make outside time a priority in your day-to-day. Show Notes for EP184: 1000 Hours Outside Enjoy this Podcast?

Order Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity ---- In today’s bonus episode with Tara Clark ( @modernmomprobs ), we discuss intentionality and mental health - specifically when it comes to social media. Modern technology is not going to change (if anything, it’ll only capture more areas of our lives.) It’s up to us to MODIFY our behavior. While social media can provide an escape, connect us to friends across the globe and become a useful resource for income, it can quickly become an addiction that takes us away from our priorities, and most importantly, our children. It’s something most of us realize but have a hard time actively combating. What do you do to set boundaries and protect mental health in this area?

Wholesale retail stores such as this are able to sell their products for much cheaper than local businesses; however, the question I pose to you and my guest today, Carly Adams, is: is bulk shopping anti-minimalist?

Some of these you simply can say ‘no’ to while others take a bit more intentionality. My guest today, Bridget Utschig joins me to share her list of twenty items she no longer buys as a minimalist. A lot of her list is curated towards clean living; however, the vast majority of these items are simple shifts you could make that benefit in more ways than one.

For those of you unfamiliar with Liz, she is the author of, Meet the Frugalwoods, the intriguing story of how she and her husband realized that the mainstream path wasn’t for them, crafted a lifestyle of sustainable frugality, and reached financial independence at age thirty-two. While not everyone wants to live in the woods, or quit their jobs, many of us want to have more control over our time and money and lead more meaningful, simplified lives. Today we’ll discuss the motivation to leave the city to pursue homesteading, sacrifices she made to live differently, her best tips to live frugally and more!

While there may be some benefit to organizing without your children, the negative of tackling this task solo is that your child misses out on the growth experience. There is a feeling of reward associated with accomplishment and, it’s my belief that our children should partake in some of that with us. Handling the decluttering for them isn’t necessarily doing them a favor, on the flip side, it may actually do a disservice to you both. By involving your children in the organizing process, you’re enabling them to be more mindful of the items they own. Show Notes for EP166: Involving Kids in the Organizing Process Enjoy this Podcast?

Whether there are too many clothes or your child has lots of opinions, it can be tough! But it doesn't have to be!

Getting ready in the morning will get easier and more streamlined, as you won't have to wade through worn out, too small or stained clothing for them to find something to wear. It may seem like an exhausting process but the end result will be of huge benefit. What a sense of relief you'll feel when this area is finally tackled!

Pre-Order Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity ----------------------------- Have you heard of the line, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes” ? In a more straightforward manner it means: go outside. I love and agree with this notion as I try to get myself outside even when temperatures dip under freezing or quickly make me break a sweat due to humidity (which I prefer less than cold). Anyways, a couple of years ago, I stumbled upon the book, There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather: A Scandinavian Mom’s Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient, and Confident Kids . It changed my perspective when it came to getting my kids outside. I felt freer, and more accepting of dirt and mud. All of that to say, it’s quite cold in Ohio right now and I was thinking about how important it still is for children to get outside (even for just 15 minutes here and there) so I reached out to author, Linda McGurk to see if she’d join me to share about how we can encourage our children outside each day, the differences in American and Scandinavian parenting, how to manage weather extremes and much more...

Today I bring you my conversation with author and journalist, Marta Zaraska. We spoke about longevity and how we can actually apply our minimalist mindset when it comes to pursuing a long, healthy life. It’s Marta’s belief that the very same efforts that rejuvenate our bodies and help us live long also help us grow as people: nurturing relationships, developing better mental habits, becoming kinder, more empathic, more involved in the community. We become so fixated on miracle diets, miracle foods, miracle supplements etc. We skip gluten and invest in exercise gadgets. We swallow vitamins. We obsess about BMI. While healthy nutrition and physical activity are indeed important for health, there are things we all too often sacrifice that have an outsize impact on our centenarian potential. Friendships. Purpose in life. Empathy. Kindness. Volunteering. Science shows that these 'soft' health drivers are often more powerful than diet and exercise. Throughout the episode, we'll dive into more of what Marta has researched in her book. Show Notes for EP152: Simplifying Our Approach to Longevity Enjoy this Podcast?

Today I bring you my conversation with simplicity coach, Jennifer Burnham. This is Jennifer's second time on the podcast (her first appearance was back on episode eighty-two). Jennifer is a believer in that organizing isn't complicated, time is sacred, and money is a renewable resource. Her work is dedicated to listening to the story your stuff is telling and then helps you rewrite it one room at a time. In this conversation, we'll discuss whether our possessions are the chain or the anchor in life, how to plan our way out of 'busy-ness' and how to create more white space in our schedules.

I called today’s episode ‘post-holiday should to good’. The week between Christmas and the New Year can leave me in a bit of a funk/fog. There are things we feel like we should do but, my guest today, Robyn Conley Downs , believes we should turn the should into good . It’s pretty easy to go through your to-do list and start seeing which items you are doing because you feel like you should . So quickly, this season that is supposed to be full of light, joy, and hope, adds up in tasks from various categories. Whether you feel that you should because you used to in the past or because you see someone else doing it, flipping the script to how you want to feel, from should to good, will allow you to reclaim your experience, attention, and energy.

Today I’m talking Christmas minimalism with author, Meg Nordman. Her recent release, Have Yourself a Minimalist Christmas, is a great resource as you navigate the holiday season. We live in a society where we’re bombarded with advertisements and, let’s be honest, our children’s irrational input; it’s hard to be decisive and intentional when it comes to the holiday season. I hope this episode assists you as you simplify your homes, schedules and gift giving this year.

Join me today as I speak with creator of The Minimal Colonial, Catherine Williams. Catherine is the mother of a three year old boy and military spouse to an Air Force pilot. Catherine believes it's important to create a home where your soul finds peace, and that begins with decluttering your heart in order to declutter your home. Today, Catherine will share her experience with minimalism and parenting an only child. Is it really that different? I wasn't sure so I thought she would be a great person to dialogue with regarding this topic. We also talked a lot about solo parenting (as she has experienced a lot of time alone while her husband has been deployed) and how to navigate overwhelm and apply minimalist principles to your day-to-day.

Quick note: I recorded this episode back in February 2020. I have a noticeable cold that I remark on in the beginning of my conversation. A lot of my episodes are recorded months before they drop so I apologize for any confusion or mentions of it being winter at the release date (July 2020.) ---- This week, I bring you my conversation with author, Autumn McKay. In 2016, Autumn created her blog, Best Mom Ideas where she began to share tips and tricks she learned throughout her own motherhood journey. The creation of this blog turned into the creation of her books, The Ultimate Toddler Activity Guide and The Ultimate Kindergarten Prep Guide . Today we’ll discuss the benefits of screen-free activities, ways to encourage independent play and how to minimize screen time in the day-to-day. I've also included ten of my go-to ways to avoid screens! It can be tough in extreme temperatures to know how to balance screen time with playtime so my hope is to give you a couple of suggestions you hadn't yet considered!

This week I want to have a discussion on the idea of our possessions 'sparking joy' as we declutter. The method comes from author, Marie Kondo in her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. The idea has become a mainstream thought; however, is it really the best way to approach decluttering? I bring you some personal thoughts on this subject, as well as dive into a discussion with Marie Kondo consultant, Sarit Sela. I wanted to give you the opportunity to make the decision for yourself after listening to two sides of the method! Let’s keep the conversation going on Facebook or Instagram !

Today I bring you my conversation with author, Greta Eskridge. Greta Eskridge is a second-generation homeschooling mom of four. Her message of deeply connected and intentional parenting began as a blog in her early days of mothering, but quickly blossomed into a writing and speaking career. Now, Greta helps parents and kids create connection in a disconnected world on her website, at the popular Wild and Free homeschool conferences, and at speaking engagements around the country. Today we'll be discussing the subject of her new book, adventuring with kids. In recent years, children are growing up in a world that looks little like the one their parents experienced during childhood. The Internet at their fingertips, cameras on phones that fit in their pockets, schedules jam-packed with extracurriculars. Parents find themselves competing for their children’s attention, at a loss for meaningful ways to cut through the noise and connect. Greta will answer questions such as: how do I get my unadventurous child to feel comfortable stepping out of his/her comfort zone, adventures that are do-able with little children, free adventures to have with our children and more.

Today, I bring you my conversation with Rita Rogers. Rita is an is an ICU nurse, farm wife, mom to two little girls and blogger at Rita Rogers Co. where she advocates for living well on purpose. Rita takes on cultural norms such as health culture and thought processes that may not be serving us well by getting us to ask questions and apply common sense solutions. In this conversation, we have an open dialogue on intentional media consumption and what that looks like in our day-to-day. We're not experts, just two minimalist mamas looking to navigate the plethora of information coming our way. I need to have ways to insulate my mind from the negativity of the world so that I can fulfill my daily parenting duties. That said, the 'noise' of the news media is something that's hard to tune out so instead of completely doing so, I just have to get better at navigating.

Today I bring you my conversation with host of the The Money, Career & Motherhood Podcast, Janice Scholl. Janice has made an entire career out of talking about money and business. She found her purpose when she began mentoring female entrepreneurs in 2012. Today, we define how value-based budgeting varies from a typical budget. The budget is designed to help people have the money to spend it on the things they want to. It shouldn’t feel like a restrictor but an enabler. Changing your family’s financial future requires a change in behavior and there’s no better time to start than today.
