We talk about his newest children's book, Just In Case You Ever Feel Alone and how we can approach the topic of loneliness with our children (and any other big feeling), help them cope, and stay connected as a family in a time whe

Today's episode is a topic that I love. Though we don't often talk about it on the podcast, I believe fitness and wellness, and how we take care of ourselves in general, is a big part of intentional living. However, motherhood often does make it a little more difficult to navigate making it a part o

Today I have Ashlee Gadd as my guest as we are talking about a "thing that matters" - creativity, or really, doing whatever it is that makes you feel more like you.

Today we are approaching a hard topic: Grief. While it's hard to talk about, it is important. Many of us don't even want to think about what my guest, Krista, experienced through losing her husband, but for many others, it is a reality. Krista now helps other women struggling through loss, and today

In today's Minimalism Stories edition of Minimal-ish, I talk with Jordan Jones, mom of three, business owner, and podcast host of the Work + Worship Podcast.

Instead of focusing on one area of the home, I'm sharing 7 of my top tips for decluttering that I've learned over the years. I'm also sharing where my focus will be with decluttering this year. At the end of the

Today we're taking some time to pause and think about our goals again because goal setting is an important part of a minimal-ish, intentional life. We often have a push to set goals at the beginning of the year, but the real progress comes when we revisit those goals and refine them throughout the y

Today I'm talking with Rachel Nielson, host of the 3 and 30 podcast, all about ways we can "declutter our motherhood."

Today we're diving deep into the reason why we so often feel the temptation to over consume things we don't actually need, why we would want to change these habits, and how we can become more conscious consumers in an "influencer world." This episode was inspired by the craze of the "Stanley Cup" -

Today I'm excited to share my conversation with Alli Williams of FinancALLI Focused. Alli has one of my favorite perspectives I've heard on budgeting, paying off debt, and working towards our financial goals, and that is one that is free of a depravation mindset. Today we talk all about why budgets

In the 2023 Podcast Recap segment of today's episode I share: -the top 5 episodes of the year -F

Today's episode piggy backs off of episode 212, our annual goal setting episode. Today we go over four other ways to set goals or just plan intentionally for 2024. We go over setting a word for the year, setting goals on a monthly or quarterly basis, a 24 in 24 list, and more. This episode is meant

Each year on Minimal-ish we set a deep, meaningful goal to take us in to the next year. Today, we've got our goal setting episode and we start with reflection, determine what matters to us, list our values, and then set a goal based on our values. I have a worksheet to help guide you along in this p

Today I'm bringing you a message that has been on my heart for a while now - we're talking all about the false promise of the perfectly tidy home and what actually matters more.
