Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood Cloud10

Today I have Kristin Green of The Joyful Minimalist joining me to share her expertise on creating a capsule wardrobe and embracing minimalism within your closet and home. She shares several tips, tricks, and starting points for women and moms who are feeling overwhelmed and stuck with their current clothes but aren’t necessarily able or wanting to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. I hope this conversation leaves you feeling just as inspired as I did to just start and start small!

Today I'm bringing you a solo episode where I’m sharing a little bit about my own recent mindset shift and desire to step out of my comfort zone to embrace a season of “yes” with my kids this summer. Minimalism is often associated with saying “no” and living at a slower pace, but there are times when saying “yes” to things big or small can also lead to a fuller life. A season of yes can look different for everyone + may change depending on the season of life we are in, but whichever season you’re in I hope you will leave this episode with some encouragement to consider where you can or want to say “yes” more often.

In today's episode, I interview Erin Loechner, author of 'The Opt Out Family,' about her journey from being an influencer to living a low-tech lifestyle. We discuss the challenges of social media, the power of the algorithm, and the importance of being more engaged in our real life. Erin shares her insights on how to make the shift to a low-tech lifestyle, and we talk about getting intentional with the role technology plays in our life. Erin encourages us to be more engaging than the algorithm and shares examples of how her family lives a low-tech lifestyle. Conversations on technology and social media are always important ones to have because there is no playbook on how to do this well - we have to make those decisions for ourselves. I love that Erin gives us another perspective along with a ton of resources on this topic.

Today we have special guest Tara Saunders who is a mom of 2, wife, and special education teacher who is now home on summer break. If you’re anything like me, the start of summer (whether I’m teaching or not) gets me excited to have more time + energy to spend reading. As an educator and kids with summer reading assignments, Tara shares her tips for creating daily routines for the whole family to read and discusses all things book decluttering and storage. If you’re also hoping to simplify reading for everyone this summer, then you’ll love this lighthearted and fun conversation!

In today's episode, I'm bringing you a replay of one of my favorite conversations that is perfect for summertime. I talk with Jamie Baker about finding personal style and feeling confident in our clothes. We discuss the importance of curating a wardrobe that fits our current bodies and lifestyles, and Jammie brings tips for shopping with intention. This conversation is timely with summer coming soon, because we all know shorts and swimsuit season can bring some feelings and have us not loving our closets as much as other times of the year.
