    Breaking Free from the Burden of Imaginary Expectations | Jinger Duggar Vuolo (EP04)

    Are you constantly seeking the approval of others, afraid to disappoint, or trapped in the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing? In this episode, we sit down with New York Times bestselling author Jinger Vuolo to explore the hidden costs of living for the validation of others. Raised in the public eye on a reality TV show and deeply influenced by the teachings of Bill Gothard, Jinger knows firsthand the weight of external expectations. Through her books Becoming Free Indeed and People Pleaser, she unpacks her journey of breaking free from toxic pressures and discovering true freedom. We’ll dive into the psychology behind people-pleasing, its ties to identity and faith, how to set healthy boundaries with grace...

    "Influencers Make It About Them, Content Creators Make It About a Topic" | Tara Clark (EP03)

    Joining me today is Tara Clark, known for her Instagram account, Modern Mom Probs. She's here to share her journey from working at Nickelodeon to becoming a prominent content creator (with nearly a million followers!) She delves into the challenges of staying relevant, especially with the rise of video content and how she balances her work-life dynamics by compartmentalizing her roles. This is my third conversation with Tara and (as you'll hear at the beginning) I just knew I wanted to have her back on Clear Intentions - because while we've talked about comparison and hoarding, I wanted to go deeper with Tara to find out what motivates her to live an intentional life.

    "Quiet is a Place I Return To" | Sarah Clarkson (EP02)

    In a distracted world driven by many screens and ceaseless activity, many struggle with a restless, disquiet mind. We yearn deeply for inward rootedness and calm, yet the cultivation of quiet often feels abstract and out-of-reach. Yet quiet is, and always has been, essential to life.

    Creating a Worldwide Movement Simply By Stepping Outside | Ginny Yurich (EP01)

    In this first episode of 'Clear Intentions’ (formerly the Minimalist Moms podcast) I reconnect with friend, Ginny Yurich - the founder of 1000 Hours Outside. In this conversation we cover how she juggles multiple roles as a homeschooling mom, author, and outdoor advocate. What does she outsource? If anything? I had to know! And, of course, I couldn’t let Ginny go without discussing ways to spend our time outdoors - specifically she discusses encouragement for teenagers, tired moms and for those living in colder environments.  Links Discussed in This Episode |Previous Conversation with Ginny: How to Reach 1000 Hours Outside (EP254) - Minimalist Moms PodcastBook: The Opt Out Family by Erin LoechnerBook: Balanced and Barefoot by Angela Hanscom1000 Hours Outside TrackerBook: STILL: The Art of Noticing by Mary Jo HoffmanBook: Play It Away: A Workaholic's Cure for Anxiety by Charlie HoehnBook: The Four Hour Work Week by Timothy FerrissBook: What If YOU Are the Answer?: And 26 Other Questions That Just Might Change Your Life by Rachel HollisBook: Dark Calories: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health and How We Can Get It Back by Catherine ShanahanBook: Boys Should Be Boys: 7 Secrets to Raising Healthy Sons by Meg MeekerBook: No Such Thing as Bad Weather Linda McGurkBook: The Way of Play: Using Little Moments of Big Connection to Raise Calm and Confident Kids by Tina Payne BrysonBook: The Whole-Brain Child: 12 Revolutionary Strategies to Nurture Your Child's Developing Mind by Tina Payne BrysonBook: 52 Ways to Walk: The Surprising Science of Walking for Wellness and Joy, One Week at a Time by Annabel StreetsBook: Women Write the Night by Annabel StreetsConnect with Ginny:Book: Until the Streetlights Come On by Ginny Yurich Website | Podcast | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube  About Ginny |Ginny is a Michigan homeschooling mother of five and the founder of 1000 Hours Outside, a global movement, media company and lifestyle brand meant to bring back balance between virtual life and real life.  She is a thought-leader in the world of nature-based play and its benefits for children, and one of her top priorities is to inspire parents to invest in spending time in God’s creation with their children.

    Rethinking "Cleanliness": Faith & the Messy Home | Dana K White (Bonus Episode)

    For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss! How can embracing your unique brain and letting go of misconceptions about cleanliness lead to a more fulfilling spiritual life? Dana K. White, author of Decluttering at the Speed of Life, and now the new book, Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Mess, shares how her personal struggles with clutter inspired a career dedicated to helping others simplify their homes. In this episode, she emphasizes that a clean home is not a measure of spirituality and that organization can be achieved without chaos. Dana also delves into her faith journey, addressing myths about cleanliness and spirituality, and explores how gratitude has helped to shape her perspective. About Dana |Dana is is the creator of the No Mess Decluttering Method and (much to her own surprise) a Decluttering Expert. Dana shares realistic home management strategies and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy in her books: Organizing for the Rest of Us, Decluttering at the Speed of Life (a Wall Street Journal bestseller), and How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind.
