Does it make you think of stark walls? Do you think it means living with the least amount of stuff possible?That’s not what minimalism means to me. For me, minimalism means freedom. Freedom to buy less and thus need less money. Freedom to travel more instead of buying a large home. Freedom to change careers instead of owning a fancy car.Being a wannabe minimalist is someone who lives intentionally, but is not defined by how much or how little they own. A wannabe minimalist is intentional about what they allow into their homes because they know once it’s in, it’s ten times harder to get out.This episode gives you a peek behind the curtain and the three life changing events that drew me to minimalism. I rarely speak so candidly about how I live my life and what really goes on behind closed doors.This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will also help you discover: How I got into minimalism in the first place If my husband was always on board with this idea of living with less How minimalism works for our family of three What I really think of decluttering toys Strategies for decluttering and creating a happy home **********************Music:Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comHappy by MBB https://soundcloud.com/mbbofficial Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/Happy-MBB Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/g6swHZbWtRc **********************Subscribe & ReviewAre you subscribed to the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast?

You know it will make a positive difference in your home or life. So, why is it so hard and why do you resist it so much?The answer is that you are running up against a decluttering roadblock.

Some of them you may already understand you're facing, but some may be trickier; lurking in the recess of your mind without you really knowing they are in your way.The first step to making any meaningful change in life is to shine a light on areas in our lives that we want to change. Once you know the change you want to make you can commit to making it happen.If you want a tidier home that you can be proud of, one that's easy to clean, or make it easy to find things, or to not be ashamed of what it might look like if people show up unannounced, these roadblocks could be what are holding you back.And clearing out these roadblocks will also help clear your mind so you can find the calm in your head as well as your home.This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will also help you discover: The most common decluttering roadblocks everyone faces so you know you are not alone Why it's important to face the things in your way before you dive into decluttering What some of these roadblocks mean when it comes to your stuff How knowing the mindsets holding you back is half the battle when it comes to decluttering The #1 way you can find freedom from these roadblocks on your way to a tidy home and vibrant life **********************Music:Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comHappy by MBB https://soundcloud.com/mbbofficial Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/Happy-MBB Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/g6swHZbWtRc **********************Subscribe & ReviewAre you subscribed to the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast?

And it’s a common question that a lot of us face on our journey to better lives with less stuff.After we get over the urge to buy, spend, and add more to our lives and in our homes, the guilt of having spent so much over the years and the idea of just tossing it all can get pretty heavy.There are several different ways to look at what we mean by wasteful. It could be tied to money, or the environment, or the ideas we had for our future selves that never really materialized. No matter which way you slice it, guilt and the feeling of wastefulness often appear as we declutter, downsize, and let go of things we no longer need.But, the good news is, there are a few tried and true strategies for overcoming this feeling of guilt. If you are in a place where you want to bridge the juxtaposition between wanting to simplify and wanting to be resourceful and not wasteful, then this episode is for you.This podcast episode will not only walk you through the different meanings of wastefulness and guilt, but will also show you how to overcome them and move forward in an authentic way. Get ready to live the simple and intentional life you’re longing for…guilt-free!This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover: The 3 things we mean when we talk about being wasteful How a simple mindset shift can get you to see your stuff in a new light Why holding on to stuff can be more wasteful than letting it go The #1 strategy for having less stuff that has nothing to do with decluttering Ways to let go of the guilt holding you back from purging items you no longer use so you can live your best life. **********************Music:Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comHappy by MBB https://soundcloud.com/mbbofficial Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/Happy-MBB Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/g6swHZbWtRc **********************Subscribe & ReviewAre you subscribed to the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast?

Perhaps you were just using the wrong techniques. Just like we all have different innate personalities, there are ways to tidy up that come more naturally to each person.Along my journey to living a better life with less stuff, I have discovered two main ways people declutter and organize the stuff the own, the spaces they live in, and their social lives.The first is editing the stuff you have by removing the unnecessary and the second is curating what you keep by only allowing in the items you care about in the first place.Neither is better than the other and it’s important to use the techniques and strategies that work best for you. When you use the proper option for your personality, decluttering and organizing becomes so much easier. You can stop fighting against your natural tendencies and finally make progress.Today’s episode will not only walk you through the differences between editing and curating your things, but will also show you how to use the techniques in 6 distinct areas of your home and life so you can put them into practice right away.This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover: How editing and curating relate to being an introvert and extrovert Why it’s so important to declutter and organize based on your personality What to do so you can make progress and quickly tidy up A look at 6 distinct areas where you can use editing or curating in your life Whether Marie Kondo and The Minimalists are editors or curators **********************Music:Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comHappy by MBB https://soundcloud.com/mbbofficial Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/Happy-MBB Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/g6swHZbWtRc **********************Subscribe & ReviewAre you subscribed to the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast?

The homes look so quaint and relaxing and the people living in them swear they are like a secret to finding happiness.I have always been curious about the movement myself and wanted to see what it was really like.The best way to see what it’s like is to try it on for size and that’s exactly what we did!

Some you are probably expecting, but some may come as a surprise.This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover: What it’s really like to live tiny as a family The most important thing to remember when living tiny Why living tiny may not be for everyone How to see through what others are saying to find what you really want A simple hack that works for every home - not just tiny ones. **********************Music:Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.comHappy by MBB https://soundcloud.com/mbbofficial Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/Happy-MBB Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/g6swHZbWtRc **********************Subscribe & ReviewAre you subscribed to the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast?
