1Today 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.

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.

In today's episode, I'm bringing you a replay of one of my favorite conversations that is perfect for summertime. I talk with Jamie Baker about finding personal style and feeling confident in our clothes. We discuss the importance of curating a wardrobe that fits our current bodies and lifestyles, and Jammie brings tips for shopping with intention. This conversation is timely with summer coming soon, because we all know shorts and swimsuit season can bring some feelings and have us not loving our closets as much as other times of the year.

Today I’m bringing you my conversation with special guest Myquillyn Smith where she is talking all about simplified home decor. She’s sharing several realistic tips and tricks from her new book ‘House Rules’, such as how to redecorate or reconfigure a room on a budget, adding layers of “coziness”, or the importance of decluttering a space to make it feel more clean and simple. I was so encouraged by her down-to-earth, walk-with-me approach for any woman who feels like they aren’t a “naturally inclined” home decorator. I know you’ll love this episode as much as I did!
