Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood

I loved Desirae’s practical tips for creating slow mornings — It reminded me of when I was a brand-new mom living in Alaska. Winters there are no joke — way too cold for a one-year-old to be outside for months on end. Without even realizing it, I was practicing slow living before it was “a thing” — just me, my baby, and a whole lot of presence. Fast forward to now: my kids are 16, 13, and 10. Seasons have changed, but breakfast together has become our “slow moment.” It’s the one part of the day we can hold onto before the school rush starts and the pace picks up. Also, her point about being careful with what we add to our calendars? Guilty as charged. I am terrible at saying no… but hearing her frame it as a way to protect peace made me want to try harder. Just listen to the intro everyday and you’ll be motivated! But then, also listen to the rest. 😂

Of all the decluttering podcasts this is my fave! Truly love the insight and advice from Desiree and how candid she is about her real life. Just listened to the most recent episode and it’s more religious then I care for so skipped it but can’t wait for the next one and hope she gets back to sharing about the monthly goals that started off the year!

I LOVE this podcast! Desiree has such a down-to-earth approach to minimalism that feels attainable, gentle and realistic. Listening to this podcast has brought a lot of mindfulness and gratitude into my daily life.
