In celebration of 300 episodes of Millennial Minimalists, Kelly shares 13 of the most powerful lessons she's learned from eight years of running the podcast and exploring intentional living.

You will learn: How Kelly and Diane personally define minimalist living What they gained when they first started living with less Simple habits that help them feel grounded, calm, and clear The perfectly imperfect side of minimalism and where they sometimes get it wrong Morning and evening routines that create more calm Lessons that have stayed with them from some of their favourite podcast guests Their favourite quotes and words of wisdom around living with less and with greater intention Kelly and Diane also reflect on why minimalism isn’t about getting everything right.
