EP268 (Part One): Slowing Down Family Life: Embracing Simple Living in a Fast-Paced World with Jillian Hankins
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 EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityDiane's Resource: Toy Trader App | Toy Trader App InstagramConnect with Jillian:Seasonal Guides: https://www.jillianmargaretwellness.com/shopWebsite: https://www.jillianmargaretwellness.comFree Gifts: https://www.jillianmargaretwellness.com/freebiesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jillianmargaretwellness/Show Notes for Slowing Down: Embracing the Simple Riches of the SeasonEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it!

Setting your intentions to get regular quality sleep takes some work. From changing lifestyle habits to being mindful of your sleep hygiene, there are a lot of factors to consider in the quest to get better rest – including creating a tranquil space to slip into deep, restorative sleep. However, the bedroom tends to be a catchall for the day, including discarded clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, a workspace and more. Can all this clutter disrupt your sleep? Probably not – but it can disrupt your peace of mind. This is where Terry Craelle, RN, sleep expert and representative of the Better Sleep Council comes in! Today Terry answers the questions: Does a messy/disorganized bedroom actually affect one’s sleep? What are some other tips for “tidying” your sleep rituals? What's sleep hygiene?

Terry’s goal is to share clever hacks for decluttering your bedroom and reclaiming your zone of relaxation to sleep soundly!-------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityConnect with Terry:Instagram | FacebookBetter Sleep Council (BSC)Show Notes for Declutter Your Bedroom (and Reclaim Tranquility)Enjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it!

Many of us have spent years acquiring "all the things" without considering whether or not we have 'enough'. But what is 'enough', really? The world may suggest to spend more, own more and do more; however, how do we clearly define what is “just enough” for our family? Joining me today for a discussion on discovering what “just enough” looks like and finding contentment in what we already have is Tyler Moore. Known as Tidy Dad on Instagram, Tyler teaches tips and strategies for developing systems and routines for tidying, organizing, and cleaning.-------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityDiane's Resource: Winter Hike Series - Columbus Metro ParksCheck out how we completed the challengeBeneficial Resource: Spark Joy by Marie KondoConnect with Tyler: PinterestInstagramWebsiteTik TokShow Notes for EP264: "Just Enough" StuffEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it!

EP263: Old Fashioned on Purpose with Jill Winger
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. Little did they know that an old homestead would create such a vast shift in the trajectory of their lives. They were now pursuing a path of homesteading. 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. Today Jill discusses how to begin homesteading with a small amount of land, how culture romanticizes chores and chickens, how she relaxes with so much daily responsibility and more… -------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityDiane's Resource: Mel Robbins Podcast: Feel Like Giving Up…Podcast Episode: The Daily Stoic (Episode How Country Living Can Improve Your Life)Podcast: Sustainable Dish podcastBeneficial Resource: Can’t Stop Talking About: Beef Tallow (Toups and Co)Connect with Jill:WebsiteInstagramCookbook: The Prairie Homestead CookbookPodcast: Old Fashioned on PurposeShow Notes for EP263: Old Fashioned on PurposeEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it!
