That’s the issue my guest on the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast was facing in 2018 when she stumbled upon minimalism and wanted to change her life. What’s unfolded over the years since then has been eyeopening for both she and her husband and she’s sharing the good, the bad, and the in-between with us today. Suzanne Goulden has been a minimalist since 2018. She’s made many observations about creating a minimalist home. It’s a process and a journey. While recovering from non-functioning burnout, since 2021, Suzanne had to revaluate priorities and learn to make intentional lifestyle choices in order to prioritize self-care. Through her blog, her goal is to inspire people like you to live a simpler life and feel the stress fall away. This episode of the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast will help you discover: A fun approach when decluttering with people who love stuff The 2 questions she asks when evaluating stuff How Suzanne solved the problem of her husband misplacing things What to do when you declutter something you discover you need Tips for starting your decluttering and minimizing journey ********************** Music: Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com Happy by MBB https://soundcloud.com/mbbofficial Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/Happy-MBB Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/g6swHZbWtRc ********************** Subscribe & Review Are you subscribed to the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast?
