Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood

Today I'm talking about the one in one out rule - a very basic rule of maintenance decluttering. However, I'm not just talking about our stuff. I talk about how this rule can apply to our days and our minds as well.I specifically dive deeper into how this rule can help declutter our days/minds to go along with the many episodes of burnout we've had so far this year on the show. I get real about something that has been missing from my days, and my one in, one out to help add it back in.Links:Podcast WebsiteDesirae on InstagramSponsors:Organifi: Get 15% off any product with URL organifi.com/intention  Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I'm talking about a topic that was requested quite a while back by a listener: Growth Mindset. Specifically, I talk about how it can be a game changer when it comes to building habits, and I spend time talking about what a fixed mindset is vs. a growth mindset, and how to shift from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset.

Today I'm honored to have my friend Sarah Erichsen on the podcast to share her story of anxiety and burnout that she has struggled through over the past year. She shares her story vulnerably and includes several tips for women who feel like they have lost themselves in motherhood, or held off a passion that is so much of who they are due to taking care of little ones. If you've ever felt like you've lost a bit of yourself along your motherhood journey, or if you've struggled with anxiety and burnout, this one is for you.  //Links// Find Sarah: On Instagram On her website Podcast website Desirae on Instagram //Sponsors// Green Chef - 90 dollars off your first order with code 90intention Prose - 15% off your first order at prose.com/withintention We are grateful for our sponsors and their support in helping make With Intention possible!
