Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood Cloud10 and iHeartPodcasts

Today we're planning our summer! Not the tangible kind of planning where we're looking at a calendar or planning tips. Instead, we're going through 4 pillars of minimal-ish living and applying them to our summer. The result will be a plan to move forward with a summer that is focused on what matters most to us. We'll talk about:
-What matters most in summer 2023
-Summer decluttering
-Aligning our summer days to what is most important to us
-How we can declutter our minds this summer
-Contentment
I hope you enjoy today's episode! Thank you for being here and listening in.

Today I'm starting a new series! Each month, I plan to dedicate one solo episode to a behind the scenes of what is working (or not) in my family's minimal-ish lifestyle. I'll start the first several of these by going room by room. These are the perfect episodes to use as a companion to your own decluttering. This week, we are starting in the living room, but many of these tips may apply to any room in the house, so hit play and declutter or tidy wherever you need to!

Today I have Kelly Briggs of Simple Home Mom as my guest to share her tips on simplifying home management and habits in our homes. I love Kelly because her perspective on home management is a breath of fresh air: both realistic AND attainable. She doesn't shy away from sharing that mess will STILL be there, but we can find ways to manage our home and even enjoy the process along the way.

Today I'm bringing you a solo episode about a topic that has been on my mind lately - perfectionism and what it steals from us. Lately I've seen a shift in my ability to feel content and a lot of that has been my ability to see notice perfectionism when it shows up in my life. I am bringing you my reflections about what perfectionism steals from us, how it might manifest in our live, and how we can let go when we see it effecting us.

Today we're talking about stress - something 2/3 of us experience to an extent that it is actually effecting our health. We live in a stressed out society, and dealing with our clutter is one way to help lessen the stress in our everyday life. But there are so many different types of stress we deal with, and some of them we cannot "declutter" out of our lives. An important question becomes "how do we cope with this stress?" Today I have Stacey Littlefield as my guest. She is a master herbalist at Redd Remedies, and she has a degree in biology with a master's degree in herbalism. We talk quite a bit about how stress effects us as women and moms, and different ways that we can cope with that stress. We also talk about natural remedies we can use to help support our bodies in coping with stress.
I also spend time today sharing some of my coping mechanisms for stress, and how I had to come to terms with the way that stress was effecting me this past year. It's a bit of a longer intro so I can share all of that with you, so this episode is almost a hybrid solo episode/ guest episode. It's a unique one, and I hope you enjoy it!
