Kelly speaks with The Minimalists' T.K. Coleman to explore the definition of minimalism and how a minimalist lifestyle plays a role in helping us make sense of our own dreams. This is a short, yet powerful snippet from Kelly’s longer discussion with T.K. in episode 151 here. In this snippet, you will be reminded that minimalism is more than about things. This simple way of life also challenges us to let go of the excess in our lives (whether internal or external) and teaches us to make room for more of what matters.   T.K. says quote, “It’s not about how many things you have or how many things you don’t have... it’s about what are you willing to let go of in order to say yes to the life that you really want.” In this discussion you will be inspired to remove the barriers in your life, such as the excess physical things, time commitments, or mental roadblocks that may be keeping you from living your best life. Be inspired by T.K.’s great insights on the power of simplicity and intentionality and be motivated to pursue what makes you come alive! Follow us on Instagram and Facebook  Follow T.K.
