Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood

In this episode I talk all about the slow living movement, what it means, and ways to move towards slowing down. I also go through some questions from listeners about slowing down with toddlers and slowing down even when our culture tells us to say yes to everything. I approach the idea of being less busy and why it is beneficial to say no. I also go through an exercise to help you actually begin moving towards slow, intentional days.  Links: Chasing Slow by Erin Loechner Your Intentional Summer FREE mini course on minimalism for your days and mindset shifts.

This was one of the main concerns on a survey I put out a few weeks back: So many moms felt like they were always cleaning up after everyone, but their house was never clean.   Today I talk about that issue, a few steps to get through it, and a note on having time for the things you care about + the "martyrdom motherhood" narrative.  Check out episode 25 for some notes on cleaning and our mindset around cleaning.  Want to apply realistic minimalism to every area of your life?
