]]> 1198 289: Minimalism Stories with Dana Litz For this week’s Minimalism Story episode I’m joined by Dana Litz, content creator and founder of Minimal Moves, to talk about what it really looks like to pursue minimalism over time—not perfectly, but through real-life ups and downs. Dana shares her personal journey with decluttering, from her childhood home to moving out—and even moving back in—and how each season shaped her perspective on stuff, space, and what truly matters. This conversation is a great reminder that minimalism isn’t a one-time project, but something that evolves with you. We also talk about the emotional side of decluttering and how to start letting go of items that feel hard to release. Dana offers practical, doable tips for detaching from possessions without guilt, along with her “Minimal Moves” approach—focusing on small, consistent actions that create meaningful change over time.

The last time Tyler was on the show, we talked about his book Tidy Up Your Life and the idea of 30-day experiments instead of traditional New Year’s resolutions… and it had such an impact in sparking my own health journey in 2025. This time, we’re narrowing in on what those “experiments” can look like specifically for self-care—and how to gradually layer habits in a way that actually supports your current season of life, even when it’s full and feels impossible to add “one more thing”. We both share honestly about our recent health and fitness journeys, what’s shifted over the past year, and how we’ve learned to focus on small, consistent habits instead of all-or-nothing overhauls. Tyler also gives practical advice for listeners who feel overwhelmed by where to start when it comes to building healthy routines that actually stick.

]]> 3449 282: Intentional Parenting for the Holiday Woes: Sibling fights, Screen time, and Full schedules This week on Minimalish, I’m welcoming Devon Kuntzman, founder of Transforming Toddlerhood, for a conversation every toddler parent needs, especially during the holiday season. Devon brings so much clarity and compassion to the toddler years, and this episode is full of encouragement and truly helpful strategies you can start using right away. We talk about what’s really going on beneath “big behaviors,” why toddlerhood is such an important developmental season, and how a lot of the work actually starts with us—our emotions, our expectations, and the environment we create. Devon also shares practical tips for everyday challenges, including navigating sibling conflict, managing screen time, prepping for busy seasons (like holidays) so you and your kids can handle transitions with more ease, and setting boundaries with family and friends in a way that protects your values. If you’re craving more peace, confidence, and connection in your home—especially with little ones in the toddler stage (though the tips can span many ages of childhood)— then this episode is for you.

]]> 2428 265: Monthly Experiment #1: Healthier Habits In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on my first monthly experiment in intentional living—focusing on healthier habits. At the start of the year, I was inspired by my conversation with Tyler Moore of Tidy Dad to approach New Year’s goals differently, leading me to start this Monthly Experiments series. Instead of setting rigid resolutions, I’ve been choosing one area of life to focus on each month. For January, that meant tracking simple habits like movement, hydration, and paying attention to what I’m consuming. I’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and how this experiment has shaped my mindset around actually sticking to my wellness goals. Come along while I chat about progress over perfection, finding joy in small wins, and embracing this healthier living as a form of self-care rather than pressure.

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.

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.

We encourage our kids to be creative, yet as adults we often fully lose this part of ourselves to a busy life. We count creativity as something that we no longer have time for, that is inessential.

When she's not working or vacuuming Cheerios out of the carpet, she loves making friends on the Internet, eating cereal for dinner, and rearranging bookshelves.

I recently stumbled across Jordan's story of her cross country move TWICE in one year with three little ones, and I had to hear more about how minimalism has played a role in her family's ability to say yes to big adventures. We talk about so many different things: from minimalism before kids vs. minimalism after kids, to living in smaller spaces vs. larger spaces, to simplifying our wardrobe and Jordan's biggest advice to anyone starting out.

]]> 2608 218: Revisiting Our Goals, Refining, and Deciding What Actually Matters Today we're taking some time to pause and think about our goals again because goal setting is an important part of a minimal-ish, intentional life. We often have a push to set goals at the beginning of the year, but the real progress comes when we revisit those goals and refine them throughout the year. In this episode, we go through a series of questions to help us reflect on our progress, decide which goals still matter and which we can let go of. We also make a little plan to continue this type of reflection throughout the year. This episode is a guilt and shame free revisiting of our goals - if you haven't made any progress yet, the opportunities are endless to start when you're ready. At the end of the episode, I revisit the goals that I shared with you on the first episode of the year and do my own version of this exercise as an example and a reminder that I'm always on this journey with you!

This episode was inspired by the craze of the "Stanley Cup" - a trendy reusable water bottle. I'm digging into the story of this cup, what it says about influencer marketing, and more importantly, how we have the power, as a consumer, to change our habits. The second half of the episode is full of actionable steps like questions to reflect on and different ways we can challenge ourselves so we can have real, lasting habit change in our buying habits - starting with thinking or pausing before we buy.

]]> 2799 199: Declutter With Me - Photo Decluttering and Organization + a Tool to Simplify it with Mylio CEO David Vaskevitch Today I'm bringing you a solo episode/ guest episode hybrid to talk all about photo organization and decluttering. This has been a highly requested topic, and I am far from an expert. When I look at digital files and photos, my mind just goes blank on where to start. I knew I needed help in this area, so I went in search of photo decluttering tools and discovered Mylio. I've been grateful to partner with them after using their software to help me get started in an overwhelming decluttering journey. Today I'm bringing you some general decluttering tips in getting started and chipping away at a very cluttered camera roll, and then I'm sharing some of how I use Mylio to help me do it, though many of these tips could be applied to any way you choose to declutter your photos- with or without an accompanying photo software/ decluttering tool. Then, David Vaskevitch joins me to share how Mylio's tools more in depth and how he declutters and organizes not just his digital photos, but also his paper clutter, physical photos, and more.

While this is a fun, somewhat light hearted topic, it's also one where intentionality can make all the difference. I can vouch for this because after my conversation with Jules, I changed a lot about our family's play space and the way I approach and view play in our home, and I've seen so much more focused play from my girls.

]]> 1854 189: Declutter the Content You're Consuming Online (social media, podcasts, etc) + The Way You Consume It Do you ever feel overwhelmed, like there are a million things to do, but you're not sure where that feeling is actually coming from? Of course, a busy life can make us feel this way, but I think our brains are more overwhelmed than ever because of the amount of information we are able to take in thanks to the internet and social media. If you find yourself scrolling through social media, unsure of why you even opened the app in the first place, this is for you! "Consuming content" isn't a bad thing - there is great content out there in the world in the form of longer form content, like books and podcasts, and shorter form content such as an Instagram post. We can learn and grow and get great value from these things. The problem comes from the volume of it along with the addictive nature of the apps. Our brains simply weren't made to take in this much information in such short periods of time. Today we're working on decluttering our podcast feeds, our social media, and our email inboxes. Of course, we'll put a heavy emphasis on reflecting on what our goals and values are when we do consume content online before we start decluttering. We'll also talk about phone boundaries and how our habits play a big role in how much content we consume. What I'm most excited about is the challenge I created to go along with this episode! We start the challenge as a community on July 17th, but you can also do it at any time on your own!

We can learn and grow and get great value from these things. The problem comes from the volume of it along with the addictive nature of the apps. Our brains simply weren't made to take in this much information in such short periods of time. Today we're working on decluttering our podcast feeds, our social media, and our email inboxes. Of course, we'll put a heavy emphasis on reflecting on what our goals and values are when we do consume content online before we start decluttering. We'll also talk about phone boundaries and how our habits play a big role in how much content we consume. What I'm most excited about is the challenge I created to go along with this episode! We start the challenge as a community on July 17th, but you can also do it at any time on your own!

]]> 2678 186: Declutter With Me: Your Clothes - Mindset Shifts, Decluttering tips, and Why Decluttering Our Clothes is So Impactful Today we are talking decluttering our clothes - and we are specifically talking about our own, personal clothes (not our spouse's clothes or our kids' clothes.) I believe this is one of the most impactful areas of the home to declutter because we wake up and make a decision about what to wear every day. A cluttered, overfilled closet doesn't help us in that daily endeavor. Being that it's summer, this might be the most impactful time of the year to talk about this topic and make sure our closets are only filled with the clothes that we love and that fit us. I hope you'll join me today as we talk about why this is such an impactful area of the home to make minimal-ish, along with tips for decluttering this area of the home (by creating a personal uniform). I'm also sharing my recent experience decluttering my clothes and filling gaps in my supper wardrobe.

]]> 2835 179: On "Decluttering" and Coping with the Stress in our Lives with Stacey Littlefield 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!

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!

]]> 1874 171: Why is Minimalism (and Decluttering) so Life Changing? Sharing The Life Changes Minimalism Has Brought Me Along My Journey 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?

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.

In this episode, I bring you along on my reflection and offer some questions for you to reflect on this for yourself.

]]> 2482 151: Learning When to Call it Enough | Striving for Perfection vs. Choosing Contentment 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

When Minimalism Doesn't Solve All Your Problems with Indiana Adams http://desiraeendres.com/minimalish I love minimalism- so much so that I talk about some aspect of it pretty much every single week. But I was also intrigued to have a conversation with my friend Indiana, who doesn't love the concept of minimalism, mostly because she's wary of the trend. Through our conversation, we uncover that it's not true minimalism that she doesn't love, but what is portrayed of it. We talk about other ways to seek peace other than through simplifying our possessions, though we both agree that is one way to do so. It's a fun and important conversation - especially when we place so much responsibility on minimalism as a fix all, which it simply isn't.

Throughout August (and some of September) we'll be focusing on work & school, two things that matter, and that we can find purpose in when we get intentional about our roles and choices in these areas of our life.  So far we've talked to work at home moms, full time working moms, and today, we're focusing in on the work of homemaking and stay at home motherhood. We'll talk about ways we simplify work at home motherhood, and we'll also talk about finding purpose in our roles of stay at home motherhood. We even talk about ways we can care for ourselves when so much of our focus each day is on our children.  My guest, Celeste, has a perspective on homemaking and motherhood that any mom can resonate with, and she also works from home as well, so her perspective branches out into the work at home mom life as well.  Most of all, Celeste is just a JOY FILLED person! I left our conversation feeling so positive and happy, and I think you'll feel the same after you listen in to our conversation! She's honestly such a light and I absolutely loved chatting with her!

On Minimal-ish, we like to talk about the things that matter and making room for the things that matter. Throughout August (and some of September) we'll be focusing on work & school, two things that matter, and that we can find purpose in when we get intentional about our roles and choices in these areas of our life.  So far we've talked to work at home moms, full time working moms, and today, we're focusing in on the work of homemaking and stay at home motherhood. We'll talk about ways we simplify work at home motherhood, and we'll also talk about finding purpose in our roles of stay at home motherhood. We even talk about ways we can care for ourselves when so much of our focus each day is on our children.  My guest, Celeste, has a perspective on homemaking and motherhood that any mom can resonate with, and she also works from home as well, so her perspective branches out into the work at home mom life as well.  Most of all, Celeste is just a JOY FILLED person!

I believe this is key in living intentional, purposeful, happy days. But what happens when one of our priorities starts to fall to the back burner? This will inevitably happen as we're not perfect (and we shouldn't strive to be!). When it does happen, I believe it's important to reflect and re evaluate why this is happening and how we can move this thing that we claim is important to us back into focus. Again, it doesn't have to be perfect, but we do want to work towards purpose.  As I reflected on this myself, I realized there were three different reasons this was happening for me. Today I'm sharing these reasons and ways we can combat them and move whatever has fallen out of focus back to it's rightful place in our life.  ---- Links: Make Room - My Online Course to Help You Declutter Your Home and Move Towards Realistic Minimalism in Every Area of Your Life (Use code 20OFF for a limited discount.)

I talk a little bit about the anxiety that plagued me in the beginning of motherhood, and how I believe happiness is a choice in so many ways- and the number one thing that has helped me choose happiness. This episode doesn't mention minimalism or decluttering or anything of the sort- but it's more about simplifying your mindset. Simplifying the negative dialogue in your head. And leaning into who you truly are.  This was a message that I felt on my heart and I just had to write down & record as I felt it weigh heavy on my heart- so I hope it speaks to you in some way. I do mention my faith a little bit in this episode, but just know that this message (or any message on this podcast, ever) is for everyone. I never intend to push you towards a certain faith or belief system. Insert whatever is relevant to you- I mention my faith at times because it's a large part of who I am.
