The Minimalists

I’ve been a follower of The Minimalists for over 7 years and have been a practicing minimalist for 5 years. JFM, Ryan and TK are a big part of why I’m the person I am today. If it wasn’t for their weekly dose of mental health, I don’t know if I’d still be here today. Thank you for everything you do.

I have been following The Minimalists for years, on and off. I find that the podcast seems to pop up on my radar when I need it the most - when I need to take a mental inventory of where I am in life, check in with my priorities and realign my wants and needs. In a way, Josh, Ryan, TK and the rest of the team have helped me find my inner “voice of reason” and have done so in an eloquent, compassionate and impartial manner. I am now a Patreon subscriber and I feel like the podcast is adding immense value to my life. Thank you for all you do!

Josh, thank you for making your birthday wish so that I can take this opportunity to leave my thoughts especially now I know it will be received. This is to everyone part of the minimalists team, if I could give each one of you all the stars in the universe, there still wouldn’t be enough for me to express my gratitude for each one of you. So I will keep today’s message simple and short until I get the privilege to tell you all in person one day. Josh, I am wishing you to experience the happiest of birthdays this year. May this birthday be the beginning of even happiest birthdays and days to come. May you continue to grow older and wiser and May you continue to share your journey so I also get to grow older and wiser. Thank you!

Happy Birthday Josh. I'm a Patreon subscriber and have been listening to your podcasts almost daily since discovering it late Dec2023. It has been life-changing discovering what I truly want out of life and actively living in the present moment. I spent months getting rid of things, simplifying my home and my finances. I was able to quit my job, a job causing me an emence amount of physical pain and am now in my garden daily- where I truly feel my best. I have the time to make homemade sourdough, do fermenting experiments with my kids and embrace a my health. Thank you for showing me a path I didn't know existed. I look forward to taking your writing class in the near future.
