The Edit Alaverdyan Podcast Sona Avetisyan | Decluttering, Minimalism, Intentional Living | The Edit Alaverdyan Podcast #13
Have you ever looked around at a sea of possessions and felt overwhelmed by the clutter? My candid conversation with Sona Avetisyan, a master of minimalism and decluttering, challenges the notion that more stuff equals more happiness. We unravel the life-changing magic of freeing up space, time, and energy by simplifying our lives, particularly for those of us juggling the joys and chaos of motherhood. Together, we expose the mental toll of a cluttered home and offer actionable advice for those taking their first steps toward a more intentional existence.
Imagine swapping a sprawling five-bedroom for a cozy studio apartment with a view - that's precisely what I did. During this heartfelt episode, the transformative journey unfolds, revealing how downsizing can amplify happiness, lessen anxiety, and foster a stronger connection with loved ones. Sona and I delve into the societal pressures that push us towards consumerism and how we can find acceptance and peace in a life rich with experiences rather than things.
Ending the day by celebrating small wins isn't just uplifting; it's a practice that can change the course of our lives. This episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like navigating grief or recognizing the sacrifices made by our parents. We discuss the importance of self-care, especially for mothers, and the gentle art of teaching our children to value encouragement over criticism. Join us for an episode that promises to inspire, comfort, and motivate you towards a life of joy, simplicity, and intentional living.
