This week on Minimalish, I’m back with my first guest interview in a while – and I couldn’t think of a better way to start the summer! After wrapping up my long-term sub position at the high school, I’m so excited to get back to conversations that help us live a little more intentionally. Today, I’m chatting with Nicole Runyon, a former psychotherapist turned parent coach, all about how we can set our families up for a simpler, more connected summer. This conversation is full of helpful, down-to-earth advice to help you feel more confident and grounded heading into summer with your kids at home. In this episode, we talk about: Why independence and responsibility is so important (and how to encourage it) How to navigate technology and set boundaries for different ages Why boredom is actually good for kids—and how to help them through it Whether you’re craving more rhythm, rest, or just want to avoid constant power struggles this summer, this episode is for you.

Today I’m bringing you the next Monthly Experiment where I’m reflecting on this past month’s journey to tackle our families budget. Spoiler alert: it did not go as planned. But I’m sharing a lot about how I’ve been reframing my mindset around “failed goals” in this season and reflecting on why it didn’t go well and how we’re moving forward.I’m also giving a little update on my first monthly experiment and how it’s evolved over the last few months, including an update on my recent diagnosis with PCOS. Links from this episode: Ep 266: Monthly Experiment #1: Healthier Habits Desirae on Instagram Minimal-ish Podcast Website Sponsor: Hungryroot: Get 40% off your first box and a free item in every box at hungryroot.com/minimalish with code minimalish.
