Today is the start of a mini series that will pop up a couple of times over the holidays season where I take you through a day in my holiday planning journal: Your Minimal-ish Holidays. In today's episode, I'm taking you through Day 22 of Your Minimal-ish Holidays where we talk about holiday traditions. I read you the entry from Day 22 and then let you in on my own thoughts and reflections around traditions while encouraging you to reflect as well.

Today I'm in reflection mode because my oldest daughter just turned 7, which also means my husband and I learned about minimalism and decluttered our home for the first time ALMOST 7 years ago. Additionally, I started the podcast right before my daughter turned 1, so Minimal-ish is officially 6 years old!
With all of these milestones has come some reflecting- so I'm bringing you 7 big lessons I've learned about both motherhood and minimalism. I love doing episodes like this one, so I hope you enjoy it! At the end, I ask you to send me your favorite thing you've learned about motherhood and/or minimalism. Find me on instagram or via email to do so ([email protected]).

Today I'm bringing you an episode that stemmed from a little check in with myself earlier this week. As I've entered a new much busier season of life that has come with big change for our family, it has been trial and error trying to figure out our new routine, how to be intentional with it, and how to support myself and my family during this time of change. If you're in a. busy season or a season of change, I hope these tips bring you the permission you need to let go of some things along with some actionable tips.

At the end of one of the busiest weeks of the year for my family, I'm bringing you a replay episode of my favorite episode of the podcast that speaks to me now just as much as it did two years ago. Shauna Niequist had always been my dream guest, and that dream came true in spring of 2022! I'm so excited to replay this episode for you as you may not have heard it yet being that it is far down in the archives. Even if you've heard it, it's one of those must-re-listen episodes.
Shauna and I talk about change, the mourning that can come with change, and how we can embrace a new season even if it feels like someone is prying the old season from our hands. If you're going through change of any kind, change can be so hard. This episode is here to be a warm embrace. Grab a cup of something warm and listen in again, or for the first time.

Today I'm sharing a solo episode where I talk through some details of how we overhauled our summer routine when our days were feeling very unstructured and unintentional. First I share some steps I take when I'm ready to change up a routine. I then share a little more behind the scenes of routine changes and visuals that worked for our family to go from unintentional summer routine to much more structure and intention in our days. I'm sharing about our summer routine since we had some practice in making sure it worked. However, I'll be applying these concepts to our back to school/ fall routines over the next few weeks.
I hope you enjoy this episode! thank you for listening in!

Today I'm sharing a behind the scenes/ declutter with me style episode, but we're talking about travel instead of decluttering. I take you along my thought process when it comes to being intentional and minimal-ish while prepping and packing for my upcoming trip. We're more-so focused on my version of intentional vacationing vs. what exactly is in our suitcases. After all, the living is more important than the stuff.

So often we plan for the season ahead and then forget about the plan, or at least never come back to reflect on how it is going. Today, we're reflecting on how our summer is going via a simple question along with the four pillars of minimal-ish living. I personally take you along with me on my own mid-summer check in, and then encourage you to do your own! Thank you for listening!

This week I have special guest Beth McCord, founder of Your Enneagram Coach, on the show to discuss how the Enneagram can help moms find confidence and navigate parenthood. What I love most about her message is that she emphasizes the importance of embracing your own unique personality in motherhood while also taking time to more deeply understand and appreciate the different types of your partner and kids. Here on Minimal-ish, we are no stranger to seeking a life with more intentional relationships, or prioritizing time for self-growth and reflection, so I’m excited for you to tune in to this conversation with Beth!

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.
