Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood

Today I chat with Erica of the Life on Purpose Movement about realistic minimalism and how minimalism can benefit everyone- but it isn't one size fits all. She talks about how minimalism and slow living has changed for her has her family has grown and her kids have gotten older, and how it can change for us within our seasons. We also chat about time management and how minimalism can truly help us own our time. Links:The Life On Purpose MovementThe Minimalist WayErica's Instagram  Podcast InstagramSponsor:Thank you to Indeed for sponsoring this episode.
