Submit ReviewToday I'm bringing you an interview of...myself. I know it sounds strange, but what I mean is I was on another podcast and I loved our conversation so much, I wanted to make sure you heard it here if you didn't get to hear it there. If you love this conversation, I hope you'll go check out the Mom's Overcoming Overwhelm podcast and hear more like it.
On this episode, I share my story with minimalism and how it has been so impactful for me, what minimalism has taught me about myself and my daughter, along with how minimalism doesn't have to be about hiding the evidence that kids live in our homes. Kids will bring mess no matter how little stuff we have - so how do we embrace this season with littles and let the mess be (so we don't go crazy)

Today I'm bringing you a mindset shift that I hope will help ease the stress we might feel when other people we have close relationships with or who even live in our homes don't see eye to eye with our minimal-ish lifestyle. How do we choose intentionality with our stuff when it isn't us bringing the stuff into our homes? How do we have conversations with family members who love to bless our kids with plenty of gifts? Sometimes, trying to control it all can cause more stress than having that extra item in our homes.
We talk about a mindset shift that might help along with some action steps we can take to deal with the influx of stuff that might come from the people we love.

Today I have Dawn Madsen of The Minimal Mom on the show to share her Minimalism wisdom with us. We focus in on impactful mindset shifts that can help us get rid of more stuff we don't need, even in some of the tougher areas of our home, like our kitchen and our kids' stuff.
Dawn's insights really were eye opening to me, even 5 years into decluttering. Sometimes it just takes thinking of things in a different way, and Dawn helps us do that today. Listen in, and then go declutter something!

Today I'm talking about one of my favorite topics when it comes to minimalism: Contentment. I love talking about how we can be more grateful and content with what is right in front of us. We discuss three ways we can take small but impactful action to get more content with our homes. Of course, these all apply to other areas of our lives as well. I hope you enjoy this episode, and I hope you feel a little more content after listening.

I've been thinking about how minimalism and decluttering can sometimes feel like a surface-level, irrelevant topic in the midst of scary headlines and difficult things that may be going on in our world and our individual lives. I thought a little deeper and realized that minimalism and decluttering can be relevant because it can prompt us to change so much more than just our stuff and our homes.
So why is it that minimalism can be so life changing? How does it trickle down from just our stuff into every area of our lives? Today I'm discussing this and sharing a little bit of my own story along with it.
I hope this episode encourages you to keep going in whatever place you're at in your journey.

Today I have Vanessa Quigley, co-founder of Chatbooks and mom of 7, as my guest. We talk all about the importance of photos to our kids' "sense of self" and our family culture. We also talk about memory making and how we can do it through simple, budget friendly adventures. Photos + adventuring can help our families grow closer, and I love how this conversation includes so many simple tips to help us do that.
We also talk about the origin story of Chatbooks which was so fun to learn about, and Vanessa shares some of her favorite photo organization tips.

Today I'm coming to you with a solo episode about how we can begin to change our shopping habits. It's so easy to find immediate gratification through shopping in our modern world. We can get an impulse idea to search for something online that we think sounds nice, click a few buttons, and end up with something new and shiny on our doorstep a few days later.
So how do we change our shopping habits if this has been a struggle for us? I'm bringing you tips that include challenges to try and simple tips you can use in the moment when you find yourself filling up an online or in person shopping cart. I hope something in this episode helps you get a little closer to aligning your shopping habits with your values!

Today we're recapping and reflecting on some of the main points of the last several episodes as we get specific on what matters most to us this holiday season, what we can plan for so we make sure it happens, create a yes and no list for the season, and make sure we're also taking care of ourselves.
I hope this episode is one that allows you some time and gives you some ideas to really reflect on making this holiday season one that you and your family love.

Warning: As with many holiday episodes, we are talking about gifts, the emphasis of gifts, and gifts under the tree. If this might be something you don't want your kids to hear, you may want to listen with earbuds in! :)
Today's episode is full of ideas to make the holidays fun and special for our kids, but also intentional and enjoyable for the entire family. My guest, Tasheena Ticer of The Cinnamon Mom, brings us a look into her family's traditions and how she celebrates the holidays intentionally, making sure to bring both fun and meaning to the holiday season for her kids.
Tasheena shares plenty of practical ideas that we can take and use this holiday season, but she also brings us some important reminders to be realistic about our own energy this holiday season, because the holidays aren't just for our kids. I know you'll take away many fun ideas from our conversation, but also sense of relief that we don't have to do it all, and we can make the holidays special with low pressure and a low budget.

We are getting Hygge again on the show because it has been one of the most popular topics recently on minimal-ish, and I personally wanted to learn even more. This time, I went straight to the source: Denmark. I started following Diane in Denmark on her Youtube channel a while back, and I knew she was the perfect one to teach us how to Hygge our way through the winter and holiday season. We talk about several different ways to get through a long winter and to celebrate the season by actually planning Hygge into our days.

How are you feeling about gifts this holiday season? Whether you're all about simplifying your gift giving (and receiving) for your family, or you just want to get more intentional and planned out, today's episode is for you!
Gift giving and receiving can feel a little sticky when minimal-ish living is one of our values. The holiday season can be full of stress- stress on our budget, stress on our time, all because of the stuff. So, how do we realign the way we do gifts this holiday season with our values?
Let's reflect, work on some mindset shifts together, talk about how we can talk to others about this all, and make a plan. Listen in!

Today I'm bringing you part two of this series of what I've learned while decluttering with my daughter. I'm bringing you my process and what has made decluttering easier with my 5 year old as I've handed over the reigns of deciding what stuff to let go of and given her most of that choice.
I also briefly talk about decluttering toddler things as well.
I hope this episode helps you in some way when it comes to decluttering with your kids, even if they really feel attached to all of their things.

I'm bringing you a two part series on what I'm learning as I declutter with my 5 year old daughter. First, we are starting with a reflection. Next week we will get a little more practical with the how.
As I was cleaning up my home, doing a nightly reset, this question occurred to me and caused me to reflect. Is our pursuit of minimalism selfish if we have kids. I've seen similar questions discussed in minimalism focused Facebook Groups, and I really wanted to reflect on it for my own home.
In this episode, I bring you along on my reflection and offer some questions for you to reflect on this for yourself.
When it comes down to it, our why for minimalism is often far from selfish, but my own pursuit for a minimalist aesthetic in my home has crossed the line, and has become a stressor for me in the past. Let's talk more about this- Listen in!

My first solo episode of each month will cover something I'm simplifying - today, that is my wardrobe. I've talked about creating a uniform on this podcast before, about three years ago, so I felt it was time to update you on this process and how I'm using it to simplify my wardrobe postpartum.
I hope you take away something from this episode that will help you simplify your clothing and create a closet full of only the clothes you love and feel good in.

Today I'm bringing you a solo episode of something I've been learning lately. I hope this idea of learning when to call it enough, stop trying so hard and stop striving for perfectionism resonates with you if you've been feeling tired, run down, even overwhelmed.
It's so easy to just never settle in an area of our life because we always think we need to improve. We see others who are better than us or more of an expert than us on social media. We see a new way of doing something we are already doing fine at. And we choose to keep striving for perfect instead of choose to be content with how things are.
This isn't about never growing or improving on anything - it's about the fact that we can't be growing and improving in everything at once. Some thing, we're just going to be okay at in this season, and that has to be okay, or we're never going to feel good about ourselves.
Listen in- I hope this episode feels like a warm hug or a breathe of fresh air that you need as much as I did/ still do.

Today I'm bringing you a mini episode to share a podcast I've been loving that is a part of Cloud10 Media - the network Minimal-ish is a part of. I've been so grateful to work alongside of amazing podcasters like Rachel Nielson, host of 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms.
3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms is hosted by Rachel Nielson, a lover of practical ideas, conversations with kindred spirits, and her two wild miracle children who keep life interesting. She combined all of these passions when creating her podcast. After a long fight to become a mother, Rachel truly believed that she would thrive as a mom from day one. Her transition into motherhood was a little bumpier than she had imagined, and she sought the help of professionals for actionable advice.
3 in 30 is a podcast for women who want to love motherhood as much as they love their children. Since moms are short on time and brain space, each 30-minute episode offers 3 actionable takeaways. 3 in 30 covers a wide variety of topics from how to stop yelling at your kids so much, to productivity and time management tips, to parenting children with ADHD or autism, to talking to your kids about racism, disability, mental health, and so much more. The tips and strategies shared by expert guests will help you make your family life a little better each week. If this sounds up your alley, listen to 3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms on your favorite podcast listening app.

In today's episode, we are bringing you a unique topic that we haven't approached on the podcast: Yoga, breath-work, and meditation. My guest, Dr. Chelsea Jackson Robert, is an internationally celebrated Peloton yoga teacher, and she's the perfect one to bring this conversation about yoga onto the show today. Chelsea is currently on the road to motherhood, and she shares some ways yoga can help us in our parenthood, as well as ways we can use it to help our kids adjust back to school (her doctorate is in education, and she brings so much value to this conversation on how yoga can help our kids!)
Even if yoga isn't your thing, I believe you'll leave this episode with something you can try either yourself or with your kids.
If you want to try one of Chelsea's yoga classes, find her on the Peloton app!

Today's episode is a bonus episode where we are approaching a topic a little off the norm for minimal-ish, but one I think is important! It's also different because I got to interview the owner of a company that I have benefited from, and that I'm also partnering with. I'm grateful to get to hear more of the heart behind a company that has helped me, along with being able to partner with them to sponsor this episode. Please note: Anytime we approach a topic that dives into health, it is NOT medical advice.
We talk about:
- the heart and story behind Just Thrive probiotics
-gut health and why it is integral to our overall health
-starting points and ways that we can improve our gut health
Again, I'm so grateful I got to partner with a company that has helped in my own health journey, along with being able to interview the founder for a unique bonus episode of the show!

Laundry is one of those household chores that we can't avoid. It seems to always be waiting for us. How can we fit it into our days without letting it take up too much of our time (but also getting it done?)
Today I'm talking with Amy Eilers, mom of four and home systems and rhythms expert, all about the laundry. We talk about...
- creating a system that works,
- tips to make folding and getting the clothes put away easier,
- how to make your laundry space a little more joyful

So many of these tips can be applied to any household chore, so I hope you enjoy today's episode as much as I enjoyed my conversation with Amy!

Today I'm talking about The Phrase "The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side," and a recent run in I had on this mindset.
Through navigating these feelings in my own life, I realized there were three problems that get us in this mindset.
In today's episode, I present these three problems or "stories we're telling ourselves" and suggest new narratives to replace them and move past this mindset.
We talk about
1. The issue of wanting to run from tough circumstances or conflict
2. Comparison & Contentment
3. "finding" an elusive "calling or purpose" vs. finding purpose right where you're at.
I can't wait to chat with you about this all, friend! I hope you enjoy the episode!

Today I talk with Patrice Washington, best selling author and speaker, all about her 6 pillars of wealth, pursuing purpose in our work and lives, and redefining wealth. This is one of my favorite conversations I've had on the podcast and I believe it will meet you wherever you are at and encourage you! Thanks for listening in!
Today we talk about:
-Patrice’s story and why she is passionate about what she does.
-Work Life Balance: What a purposeful workday looks like for her, including how and why she includes staying present with her family.
-How we can beat mom guilt that comes along with work.
-Her definition of wealth and why she came to see wealth in this way
-The six pillars of wealth: Fit, People, Space, Faith, Work, Money
-Pursuing passion in work vs. purpose, even when your work isn’t your passion.
-Chasing purpose isn’t about being an entrepreneur
-Working towards a life (and work) that you do feel purpose and fulfillment in (and how finances aren’t the most important part of it)
-Going from a hustle/ grind mindset to a mindset of presence and purpose
-Fitting in the important things on a busy schedule (having balance in the pillars and what to do if you’re feeling out of balance)
-Embracing what is naturally “our thing” and staying in our lane (not feeling bad for saying no to what isn’t your thing)

Keep meal planning simple this back to school season - or any season that feels busier for you. This episode is full of tips that my guest and I truly use to keep things simple in the kitchen, especially when life feels a little more complicated.
Meal planning can be one of the most time consuming things we do for our families and ourselves - from planning to shopping to prepping. So, when we have less time, what are some ways we can simplify it while continuing to nourish our families with healthy meals?
I hope this episode gives you permission to keep things simple and feel less alone if meal planning and cooking isn't your favorite thing in the world.

Today I'm talking with professional photographer, Jenna Arvidson, all about photos of our family: the ones you take and the ones taken of you.
Most of us have a smartphone which can make us feel the pressure of constantly capturing the moments of our kids and lives in general- but sometimes the phone/photos can be a distraction and keep us from being present, and almost always we take about a million but only print out a few. Today, Jenna gives us tips on how to get the photos we will actually cherish of our families and be present for the rest instead of constantly living with a phone in our hands so we don't miss a photo op. She also gives us tips on family photo day from a photographer's perspective, and how to stress less when the day comes.

Today we are decluttering again together - I walk you through what my decluttering session looked like as I decluttered my daughter's room- specifically her clothes. Her clothes seem to multiply even if I don't bring them into the home, so this is definitely a point of overwhelm for me. I answer the question "what do I keep" when it comes to kids clothes for future siblings, and I also talk over the mindset shifts I've had around kids clothes, and how I declutter as I go instead of always waiting until things get out of hand.
I hope you enjoy this episode and continue to declutter with me as the series moves forward!

Today I'm taking you on a decluttering session with me! This is part of a new series where we will go room by room together and I'll let you in on my thoughts as I declutter.
Decluttering used to be a major topic on the podcast, and I could use some maintenance decluttering. Springtime brings about the motivation to bring peace to our homes, so let's do it together.
For the first episode, I go over questions to ask yourself if you have a hard time letting go of things or feel guilt over doing so - especially as it relates to bathroom items. At the end of the episode, we dive into how decluttering can create more mess before it gets better, and the deeper side of what it can do for you.
See my bathroom mess before and after at @life_withintention on instagram.
I hope this episode motivates you to set a timer for 20-30 minutes and declutter along side of me.

Today I'm talking about the one in one out rule - a very basic rule of maintenance decluttering. However, I'm not just talking about our stuff. I talk about how this rule can apply to our days and our minds as well.
I specifically dive deeper into how this rule can help declutter our days/minds to go along with the many episodes of burnout we've had so far this year on the show. I get real about something that has been missing from my days, and my one in, one out to help add it back in.

Today I'm sharing my journey with healing my relationship with movement, food and my body - a journey that I'm still on but that I've shared quite a bit of on instagram. I've gotten requests to share it as a podcast episode, so here it is! I fully believe the way we approach our health and the relationship we have with food and our bodies is a huge part of an intentional life.
I talk about:
-Messages the health/ fitness industry sends us
-How eating less isn't really a good long term solution for most people
-Why so many of us dislike exercise and how to get consistent with moving our bodies in a healthy way
-Questions to help evaluate where you are at personally with movement/ food.
I come at this from a non-expert normal-human standpoint, so take my advice and journey with a grain of salt. My hope is that my story will resonate with you and you can learn from some of the things I've learned along the way and begin healing your relationship with food + fitness if it needs to be healed.

Today we're talking all about working from home - I give 10 different tips total (okay, really 12 if you count the first 2 that apply across the board), but we break it up into two different sections.
I've worked from home in some way, shape, or form for four years now. I worked part time in the margins of my full time job, then in the margins of stay at home motherhood, and now I work full time from home.
While all 10 can probably apply to most situations, the first five apply more to full time work from home life, while the last five apply to working part time in the margins of your day. I hope you enjoy this episode and that it encourages you in you work from home journey in some way!

A short encouragement today - that you don't always have to strive to be and do all the things.
In a season of change and transition, or in any season where you have a lot on your plate - if there's something you're striving for that is overwhelming you, this is an encouragement to table it for now.
You don't have to fully let it go - just set it aside til things are less chaotic and you can decide to pick it up again.

I'm so excited to bring you the first episode of the podcast with the new name, With Intention! Check out the trailer I released to understand the change a little better!
Today I'm diving into a question that I repeatedly got from listeners during the break I took with the podcast - how is it going? How are all the changes going? How is your new job?
Because I got so many questions like this, and others related to adjustments and changes that life brings us, I'm starting a quick series for a few episodes where we'll cover some different ones.

-The main fear I've had during this adjustment
-The lies we all might be inclined to believe about motherhood when it comes to working or staying at home.
-4 things I've learned in the midst of the change
-How minimalism is still making all the difference.
