    <title>Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, &amp; intentional living</title>
    <language>en</language>
    <copyright>Cloud10</copyright>
    <description>If staunch minimalism feels too extreme, but you want to declutter your house to alleviate some stress, this is the podcast for you. 

Shannon Leyko's style is like having your best friend in your ear, helping you get past those tough mental roadblocks that are keeping you from decluttering the things you don't need. 

From New York Times bestselling authors to everyday people in the trenches of life, Shannon's guests give practical tips and mindset advice for intentional living and self-improvement.



Listen to Paring Down if you've ever asked yourself...


  Where do I start decluttering my house?

  Where do I start decluttering when overwhelmed?

  How do I declutter if I have ADHD?

  What if I end up needing something I decluttered?

  How can I stop shopping my shopping addiction?

  How do I stop being stressed?

  How do I keep my house clean?

  How do I tidy my room?

  How do I get my husband or wife to declutter?

  How many toys should a child have?

  How can I save money?

  What is minimalism?

  How can I be a minimalist with kids?

  What should I declutter first?

  How can I be a conscious consumer?

      <title>150: How Our Surroundings Shape Our Lives with Author/Engineer, Leidy Klotz</title>
      <description>What a treat today! Acclaimed engineering professor and author Leidy Klotz joins me on Paring Down to explore how our environments shape our lives more than we realize.

From decluttering to designing meaningful spaces, this conversation will change how you see both your home and your habits.

In this episode, you’ll learn:


• Why we instinctively add instead of subtract (and how to train your brain to notice better solutions)

• How your environment is connected to “Self-Determination Theory," plus simple ways to design spaces that help you thrive

• Why nostalgia can’t be bought, how overconsumption disrupts it, and how to intentionally create meaningful memories in your spaces 

This conversation is not only enlightening, but is deeply touching. I know it will change the way you see the world around you.

      <title>148: Finding Joy When Motherhood is Hard with Libby Ward</title>
      <description>The one and only Libby Ward is in the house! In this episode, mega mom influencer Libby Ward shares how to find joy even when motherhood feels overwhelming, exhausting, and hard. This honest conversation dives into the reality of modern motherhood, mental load, and why embracing difficult emotions can actually lead to more peace and fulfillment.

Libby speaks so vulnerably, and we cover:

• Why thinking motherhood is hard doesn't mean you don't love being a mom

• The impact of social media on mental health and unrealistic parenting expectations

• How to navigate mom guilt, burnout, and the invisible mental load of motherhood

• Why authentic friendships are essential for surviving (and enjoying) motherhood

If you’ve ever wondered how to enjoy motherhood more without pretending everything is perfect, this episode will leave you feeling seen, validated, and hopeful.

      <title>147: How I Got 700,000 Followers, a Life-Changing Book Deal, &amp; 1 Million Podcast Plays in 2 Years</title>
      <description>Ask and you shall receive! Today I'm departing slightly today from usual decluttering content and instead giving you the full lowdown of how to grow on Instagram, how to make a successful podcast, and how to get a book deal. (At least what worked for me!)

I cover:

• Best general advice for each topic (social media, book, &amp; podcast)

• Specific programs &amp; templates I use

• Free resources and experts I've used or followed

• My personal story of why and how I got started

I hope this not only helps you if you've ever wanted to do anything similar, but offers plenty of lessons on intentional living like:

• starting messy

• pouring into relationships

• consistently doing what matters

2. Tell us about your upbringing. 



Listener recommendation of the week: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

"For greasy stains, I use ⁠Amodex⁠ and wash on the hottest temperature the fabric can handle with ⁠Oxiclean powder ⁠and ⁠Tide Pods⁠."

      <title>145: The Secret to Feeling Happier Before Anything Even Happens</title>
      <description>Today we're talking about a highly underrated source of joy: anticipation. 



In this episode, you'll learn:



• The science behind why anticipation improves an overall experience

• The role of future-focused thinking in building hope, optimism, and resilience (without being discontent in the present)

• Simple, practical ways to build more anticipation into your life



When we intentionally create things to look forward to, we're not just planning ahead—we're actively creating a more joyful life.

      <title>144: Make Decluttering Simple with Proven Strategies with Kate Vanness-Kandoth</title>
      <description>The strategies in today's episode are practical and life-changing! I had so much fun hearing from Kate Vanness-Kandoth on how her background in science and process improvement led her to rethink decluttering as a systems problem—not a motivation problem. 



She brilliantly shows us how to reduce friction, eliminate waste, and create sustainable systems that actually support real life.  You'll learn:


  How to use the LEAN framework to identify hidden sources of waste in your home—like overbuying, waiting, and unnecessary effort



  How the 5S method creates lasting organization





  A simple but powerful decluttering method called “red tagging” that separates decision-making and makes letting go easier


...and so much more.



When you design your home around what actually matters to you, your space stops working against you.

      <title>142: Busting the Myth that Joy Comes from an Easy Life with Kelli Foreman</title>
      <description>What does it really look like to build a joyful life through hard work, resilience, and purpose? 



I had the pleasure of sitting down with inspiring Kodiak dairy farmer Kelli Foreman to explore the unfiltered reality of farm life in Alaska—and why working with your hands might be the missing piece in modern happiness. 



From 2:30 a.m. wake-ups to community impact, this conversation dives deep into finding joy through discipline and meaningful work.



In this episode, you’ll learn:


  Why working hard with your hands can increase joy, fulfillment, and mental well-being in a digital world


  The realities of small farm life in Alaska, including dairy farming, animal care, and rural challenges


  How resilience is built through loss, setbacks, and uncontrollable circumstances


  The powerful connection between purpose and long-term happiness


  How simplifying your life and “paring down” can help you focus on what truly matters



This episode will leave you rethinking convenience, embracing hard work, and rediscovering joy in the simple, meaningful things.

      <itunes:summary>What does it really look like to build a joyful life through hard work, resilience, and purpose? 



I had the pleasure of sitting down with inspiring Kodiak dairy farmer Kelli Foreman to explore the unfiltered reality of farm life in Alaska—and why working with your hands might be the missing piece in modern happiness. 



From 2:30 a.m. wake-ups to community impact, this conversation dives deep into finding joy through discipline and meaningful work.



In this episode, you’ll learn:


  Why working hard with your hands can increase joy, fulfillment, and mental well-being in a digital world


  The realities of small farm life in Alaska, including dairy farming, animal care, and rural challenges


  How resilience is built through loss, setbacks, and uncontrollable circumstances


  The powerful connection between purpose and long-term happiness


  How simplifying your life and “paring down” can help you focus on what truly matters



This episode will leave you rethinking convenience, embracing hard work, and rediscovering joy in the simple, meaningful things.

      <title>139: Making "Fun" Less Elusive in Adulthood</title>
      <description>In this episode, we unpack why "having fun" can feel elusive or even guilt-inducing, and how to create more genuine fun in our daily lives as adults. 



The big pictures is that fun isn’t optional for creating joy, so we need to be intentional about what it means to us...and then have more of it.



I go over:


  Why adults often think of "fun" as it relates to childhood—and how that drains joy

  The misunderstanding that having fun means doing something easy

  How to define fun on your own terms (instead of what looks “fun” to others)

  10 things I personally don't think are very fun (sorry for the hot takes)



When you stop trying to make fun look a certain way, you can finally start experiencing more of it!

      <itunes:summary>In this episode, we unpack why "having fun" can feel elusive or even guilt-inducing, and how to create more genuine fun in our daily lives as adults. 



The big pictures is that fun isn’t optional for creating joy, so we need to be intentional about what it means to us...and then have more of it.



I go over:


  Why adults often think of "fun" as it relates to childhood—and how that drains joy

  The misunderstanding that having fun means doing something easy

  How to define fun on your own terms (instead of what looks “fun” to others)

  10 things I personally don't think are very fun (sorry for the hot takes)



When you stop trying to make fun look a certain way, you can finally start experiencing more of it!

      <title>138: Swedish Death Cleaning with Emily McDermott</title>
      <description>How would your loved ones feel if they had to go through your stuff after you're gone?



It's tough to think about, but the emotional weight of decluttering is heavy for those we leave behind.



No one wants their family grieving while sorting through a lifetime of belongings—wondering what to keep, what to toss, and what any of it truly meant.



That’s where Swedish death cleaning comes in. More than just decluttering, it’s a thoughtful, intentional way to organize your life now so your loved ones aren’t overwhelmed later.



I was so happy to sit down with Emily McDermott of Moms Overcoming Overwhelm to talk through:


• What types of things to declutter and organize today in the off chance we pass away unexpectedly

• What is "the sign up list" and how does it preserve your family's relationships?

• What book do we recommend to help you through the process?

      <itunes:summary>How would your loved ones feel if they had to go through your stuff after you're gone?



It's tough to think about, but the emotional weight of decluttering is heavy for those we leave behind.



No one wants their family grieving while sorting through a lifetime of belongings—wondering what to keep, what to toss, and what any of it truly meant.



That’s where Swedish death cleaning comes in. More than just decluttering, it’s a thoughtful, intentional way to organize your life now so your loved ones aren’t overwhelmed later.



I was so happy to sit down with Emily McDermott of Moms Overcoming Overwhelm to talk through:


• What types of things to declutter and organize today in the off chance we pass away unexpectedly

• What is "the sign up list" and how does it preserve your family's relationships?

• What book do we recommend to help you through the process?



Walk away knowing:

      <title>137: Knowing When You've Decluttered Enough, Maple Syrup, &amp; the Mental Load</title>
      <description>Here's what you'll find in this week's mini episode, a.k.a. Chai Chat!


I answer: 


1. When do you reach decluttered “enough”?


2. How did you get started with writing? What's your favorite childhood movie?



Listener recommendation of the week: ⁠

• Thrive's Market maple syrup (I found out you need a membership, just FYI!)

• Ember heated mug

      <title>136: Can Humor Be Taught? with Dr. Janet Gibson</title>
      <description>In this Good Stuff episode on the topic of joy, I sit down with psychologist Janet M. Gibson to explore the psychology of humor and how it impacts our mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. 



We break down how humor works in the brain, why we all find different things funny, and how laughter can reduce stress and boost joy. 



What you’ll get out of it:


  Why laughter is powerful for stress relief and mental health



  The science behind different senses of humor


  How humor strengthens relationships and connection


  Practical, everyday ways to use humor to feel happier



If you’re looking to boost your mental health, reduce stress, and feel more connected, learning to use humor intentionally can be a simple, science-backed way to do it.

      <title>135: When People Feel Judged by Your Decluttered Life</title>
      <description>Have you ever felt like decluttering makes other people in your life defensive? Like you're judging them–even though you're not? In this episode, I’m talking about the relationship tension that can come up when we choose to live with less stuff.



I break down why people might feel judged:


  Natural comparison

  Identity tied to possessions

  Cognitive dissonance

  Psychological reactance 

  The spotlight effect




And what I personally do to keep things positive:


  Keep it personal (“this works for me”)

  Avoid “should” language

  Stay curious about others

  Don’t give unsolicited advice

  Never gossip




I hope this episode helps you better understand where other people's defensiveness might come from (and your own!), and how to navigate lifestyle differences without straining relationships or compromising your own values to keep the peace.

      <title>133: Using Our 5 Senses to Create Joy</title>
      <description>We often take our senses for granted, and rarely think about how to intentionally use them to create more joy in our lives! So today, we talk about:



• An overview to better understand all of our senses (beyond the primary 5!)

• How our senses affect our emotions (a scientific understanding)

• Practical ideas for how to produce joy through each of our 5 main senses: sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing

      <title>132: How Minimalism Makes You Better at Your Job with Chris Lovett</title>
      <description>Today we welcome on Chris Lovett to talk about minimalism in the workplace, or as he calls it "corporate minimalism":



• How did Chris' personal journey with decluttering lead him to corporate minimalism?



• Who is responsible for eradicating pointless busy work — employees or executives?



• What happens if we opt out of "mandatory" meetings?



• How has Covid changed how we work?



Whether you work in corporate or not, this episode has plenty nuggets of wisdom for productivity and focusing on what truly matters.

      <title>128: Big vs. Small Decluttering Projects, My 2026 Goals, &amp; Magnesium Lotion</title>
      <description>Welcome to the very first ever Chai Chat!! A 10-15 minute mini-episode each Thursday on the Paring Down podcast.



Each week follows this simple formula:



1. I answer a listener decluttering question
2. I answer a listener question about my own life
3. I share a listener decluttering win
4. I share a listener recommendation
5. I give some final thoughts



This week, I answer: 
1. Is it productive to declutter one item a day, or does it have to be a big effort?
2. What are my goals for 2026? (And favorite shape of pasta?)



Listener recommendation of the week: Earthley Magnesium Lotion

      <title>125: 7 Simple Living Lessons from Life in Alaska</title>
      <description>This episode was so fun to make! Not only do I get to share some fascinating tidbits about the state of Alaska and what it's like to live here, I share 7 lessons I've learned about simple living from life in such a remote area.



• What's the biggest difference when it comes to living here vs. the lower 48 in terms of daily stress?



• Am I scared of the giant Kodiak bears that are exclusive to the remote island where I live?



• Do I miss Chipotle?



• What do I do if I need something last minute, but there's no 2-day shipping and only one major store on the island?



Truly, this is a fun one! Hope you enjoy!

      <title>121: What to Do with Everything You Declutter</title>
      <description>Figuring out what to do with all our stuff AND finding the time &amp; energy to do it is one of the biggest hurdles to decluttering.



Here are some things I cover in this episode:



• The Goodwill controversy 

• How to break free from perfectionism that paralyzes us 

• 4 questions to help you determine which donation centers to pick

• The best principle I've ever heard for how to handle overwhelming decisions (shout out to Kendra Adachi from The Lazy Genius Way)

• Tips for donating, selling, &amp; posting items online



...and more.

      <title>120: Decluttering through Grief - Letting Go of Belongings After Loss with Krista St-Germain</title>
      <description>If you've ever struggled with letting go of sentimental items after loss, I hope today's episode gives you both validation and encouragement.



I talk with Krista St. Germain of the Widowed Moms Podcast, who lost her husband to a drunk driver, and we explore the emotional weight of decluttering a loved one’s belongings. 



You'll hear:

• mindset shifts around grief

• what it means to let go in a way that "feels like love"

• why there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to releasing sentimental items



This comforting conversation offers gentle guidance for decluttering when space is limited or when keeping certain items no longer feels supportive for your wellbeing.

      <title>118: Declutter Your House 15 Minutes at a Time with Tracy Hoth</title>
      <description>The problem with our determination to declutter in the new year is that we often go hard at the beginning and then burn out fast. Then what?



So today I brought on certified life coach and professional organizer, Tracy Hoth, to  to discuss practical strategies for overcoming overwhelm, setting realistic expectations, and making real progress in just 15 minute decluttering spurts.



Tracy introduces her SPACE method for organizing, and highlights the emotional barriers that can hinder progress.

      <title>117: Renewed Excitement for the Benefits of Minimalism</title>
      <description>This past year brought more change than I expected—personally, spiritually, and professionally. 



As you'll hear in this episode, some of the change distracted me from pursuing a life free from clutter.



So I wanted to share:



A) A little recap of my year (some analytic numbers, some personal struggles, etc.)



and

      <title>116: When Our Health Journeys Lead to Clutter with Andrea Nakayama</title>
      <description>When her husband was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor while she was pregnant with their first child, Andrea Nakayama's career took a hard left turn. Since then, she founded the Functional Nutrition Alliance and has spent the last 20 years helping practitioners and patients learn about a holistic approach to health.



In this episode, you'll hear about the importance of both traditional medicine AND functional medicine—and why the term "functional medicine" has been exploited to encourage overconsumption. 



Together, we explore the state of chronic illness in the U.S., why quick fixes and wellness trends are so seductive, and how the wellness industry often adds more noise than clarity. 



This conversation is an invitation to declutter our health routines, tune back into our own bodies, and make more intentional, grounded choices—without fear, blame, or overwhelm.

      <title>115: Decluttering Emergency Supplies While Still Being Prepared</title>
      <description>Are you actually prepared for an emergency—or just surrounded by emergency clutter?



In this episode, I take a clear-eyed look at emergency supplies and why so many of us over-prepare for rare, dramatic scenarios while under-preparing for the things most likely to happen. 



We unpack how common cognitive biases—like the availability heuristic, denominator neglect, and “dread risk”—shape our fear-based stocking habits and quietly lead to clutter, overwhelm, and false security.



I walk through five realistic categories of emergency preparedness: 



1. Evacuation

2. Getting trapped at home

3. Obscure emergencies

4. Everyday sickness

5. First aid



and explain how to pare each one down so it’s usable, accessible, and actually helpful when stress is high.



If emergency prep has ever felt overwhelming—or like another excuse to hold onto too much—this episode will help you rethink what safety really looks like!

      <itunes:summary>Are you actually prepared for an emergency—or just surrounded by emergency clutter?



In this episode, I take a clear-eyed look at emergency supplies and why so many of us over-prepare for rare, dramatic scenarios while under-preparing for the things most likely to happen. 



We unpack how common cognitive biases—like the availability heuristic, denominator neglect, and “dread risk”—shape our fear-based stocking habits and quietly lead to clutter, overwhelm, and false security.



I walk through five realistic categories of emergency preparedness: 



1. Evacuation

2. Getting trapped at home

3. Obscure emergencies

4. Everyday sickness

5. First aid



and explain how to pare each one down so it’s usable, accessible, and actually helpful when stress is high.



If emergency prep has ever felt overwhelming—or like another excuse to hold onto too much—this episode will help you rethink what safety really looks like!

      <title>114: Navigating Grandparent Over-Gifting from Both Perspectives with DeeDee Moore</title>
      <description>In this episode, I sit down with Deedee Moore of More Than Grand to talk about something so many families quietly wrestle with: over-gifting from grandparents. 



Together, we dig into why it happens, how it feels, and what we can do to bridge the gap with more empathy and clearer communication.



Both perspectives matter: The parent perspective (how too many gifts can create stress, clutter, or guilt) AND the grandparent perspective (how giving is often an expression of love, connection, and identity). 



We explore the sweet intentions behind the gifts, the frustration that can happen on the receiving end, and the simple conversations that can help everyone feel heard.



This conversation is full of compassion, aha moments, and practical ideas for strengthening those precious family relationships—without letting “stuff” get in the way.

        <![CDATA[<p>In this episode, I sit down with Deedee Moore of More Than Grand to talk about something so many families quietly wrestle with: over-gifting from grandparents. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Together, we dig into why it happens, how it feels, and what we can do to bridge the gap with more empathy and clearer communication.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Both perspectives matter: The parent perspective (how too many gifts can create stress, clutter, or guilt) AND the grandparent perspective (how giving is often an expression of love, connection, and identity). </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>We explore the sweet intentions behind the gifts, the frustration that can happen on the receiving end, and the simple conversations that can help everyone feel heard.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>This conversation is full of compassion, aha moments, and practical ideas for strengthening those precious family relationships—without letting “stuff” get in the way.</p>

      <title>113: Reducing Holiday Overwhelm by Setting Personal Boundaries</title>
      <description>This week, we’re exploring what it actually looks like to simplify your holidays—not just by cutting back on decor or gift clutter, but by setting personal boundaries that make the season joyful instead of stressful.



If you’re navigating complicated expectations, travel pressure, or family disappointment, this episode offers a compassionate and research-backed look at why setting boundaries is healthy, not harsh.



What to expect:


• Why simplifying the holidays isn’t only about traditions—it's about emotional clarity and autonomy



• My own story of choosing to not travel during Christmas while our kids are young 



• What “personal boundaries” really mean—hint: they’re choices you make for yourself, not rules you impose on others



• Three research-backed benefits of healthy boundaries• A short 5-question checklist to help you decide if a holiday obligation is right for your family this year.

        <![CDATA[<p>This week, we’re exploring what it actually looks like to simplify your holidays—not just by cutting back on decor or gift clutter, but by setting personal boundaries that make the season joyful instead of stressful.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>If you’re navigating complicated expectations, travel pressure, or family disappointment, this episode offers a compassionate and research-backed look at why setting boundaries is healthy, not harsh.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>What to expect:</p>
<p>

<p>• My own story of choosing to not travel during Christmas while our kids are young </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>• What “personal boundaries” really mean—hint: they’re choices you make for yourself, not rules you impose on others</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>• Three research-backed benefits of healthy boundaries• A short 5-question checklist to help you decide if a holiday obligation is right for your family this year.</p>

      <title>112: The Trap of Upgrading Our Lives with Laura Fenton </title>
      <description>Happy Thanksgiving week to those of you in the U.S.! In this thought-provoking conversation with Laura Fenton—writer and creator of the beloved Substack Living Small—we talk about what it really means to opt out of upgrade culture. 



At a time of year when we’re surrounded by sales, pressure to buy more, and ideas for trendy gifts, this episode is a breath of calm. 



Laura offers a grounded, compassionate look at how choosing “enough” can bring more contentment, freedom, and ease into your daily life. 



If you’re craving some recalibration on what's important in life—or simply want permission to step off the hamster wheel—you'll love this conversation!

      <title>111: The "But I Love Everything!" Decluttering Dilemma</title>
      <description>If you love your belongings but feel overwhelmed by the piles, the mess, or the jam-packed closets, this episode is for you. Today, we’re breaking down 6 compassionate, practical strategies to help you simplify — without forcing yourself to stop loving your things.



This isn’t about minimalism for minimalism’s sake. It’s about creating breathing room in your home so you can actually enjoy the things you love.



In this episode, we cover:

• Redefining What “Love” Really Means

• The “Love It or Use It” Method

• Benefits of a Temporary Separation Box

And more. 



The big takeaway: Loving your things isn’t the issue. The issue is when your stuff takes up the space meant for living.

      <title>110: Is Overconsumption That Big of a Deal?</title>
      <description>This week's "guest" episode is slightly different...because I'm the guest! 



My good friends at the Pretty Furious podcast are graciously letting me air an episode when I was a guest on their podcast, because I just loved the questions they asked and don't think I've covered the consequences of overconsumption to this extent on Paring Down. 



What, exactly, happens to non-biodegradable materials in landfills?

Why should you care, even if you don't particularly care about the health of the planet?

What role does overconsumption play in our mental health?



We dive into all of it!

      <title>109: What to Do with Clothes that Don't Currently Fit</title>
      <description>One of the hardest categories to declutter? Clothes that no longer fit.



But just because it's complicated doesn't mean we can't tackle it and make progress (without the overly simplistic approach to just get rid of anything that doesn't fit right now).



In this episode, we’ll start with validation—why it makes sense to feel stuck when your closet doesn’t match your current body—and then move into practical steps for decluttering clothes when your weight has fluctuated.



You’ll hear:
• Three normal reasons women’s bodies change size (from pregnancy to hormones to stress)
• Why your body’s size doesn’t define your worth
• The real problem with women’s sizing
• Five practical tips for editing your wardrobe with compassion — including how to create a “maybe” bin with boundaries



This isn’t about giving up. It’s about creating a closet that fits the you who exists today.



Listen now to learn how to simplify your wardrobe without shame—and make peace with the body you live in right now.

      <itunes:summary>One of the hardest categories to declutter? Clothes that no longer fit.



But just because it's complicated doesn't mean we can't tackle it and make progress (without the overly simplistic approach to just get rid of anything that doesn't fit right now).



In this episode, we’ll start with validation—why it makes sense to feel stuck when your closet doesn’t match your current body—and then move into practical steps for decluttering clothes when your weight has fluctuated.



You’ll hear:
• Three normal reasons women’s bodies change size (from pregnancy to hormones to stress)
• Why your body’s size doesn’t define your worth
• The real problem with women’s sizing
• Five practical tips for editing your wardrobe with compassion — including how to create a “maybe” bin with boundaries



This isn’t about giving up. It’s about creating a closet that fits the you who exists today.



Listen now to learn how to simplify your wardrobe without shame—and make peace with the body you live in right now.

      <title>108: Avoid Clutter by Developing Personal Preferences with Courtney Florey</title>
      <description>Do we even realize that we're creating a life based on what other people like, instead of our own preferences?

I loved this casual, relatable conversation with Courtney Florey of Declutter &amp; Dwell to explore a surprisingly powerful way to prevent clutter before it starts: Getting clear on your personal preferences.

Together, we unpack:


  Why developing contentment is key to simplifying your home and your habits

  Practical actions to uncover what you truly love (beyond trends or what others say you “should” like)

  How knowing your preferences helps you make confident decisions when shopping or decorating

  My somewhat embarrassing story of subconsciously making purchases to impress the internet—and how cutting back on sharing my family revealed this underlying motivation


This episode is a reminder that a clutter-free home doesn’t just come from organizing better—it starts with knowing yourself better.

        <![CDATA[<p>Do we even realize that we're creating a life based on what other people like, instead of our own preferences?</p>
<p>I loved this casual, relatable conversation with Courtney Florey of <strong>Declutter &amp; Dwell</strong> to explore a surprisingly powerful way to prevent clutter before it starts: Getting clear on your <strong>personal preferences</strong>.</p>
<p>Together, we unpack:</p>
<ul>
  <li>Why developing contentment is key to simplifying your home and your habits</li>
  <li>Practical actions to uncover what <em>you</em> truly love (beyond trends or what others say you “should” like)</li>
  <li>How knowing your preferences helps you make confident decisions when shopping or decorating</li>
  <li>My somewhat embarrassing story of subconsciously making purchases to impress the internet—and how cutting back on sharing my family revealed this underlying motivation</li>
</ul>
<p>This episode is a reminder that a clutter-free home doesn’t just come from organizing better—it starts with knowing yourself better.</p>

      <title>107: 7 Ways to Stop Kids’ Clothes from Overflowing</title>
      <description>Kids' clothes get out of hand FAST. Which is why in this episode, I share seven practical strategies to help you stay ahead of the kid clothing chaos. It's so refreshing when drawers close easily, laundry feels manageable, and weekends aren’t spent sorting piles of outgrown stuff.

You’ll learn:
• Why we accumulate too much kid clothing — and how to stop the cycle
• How a simple 3-bin system (Too Small, Too Big, Incoming) keeps everything organized
• Why setting clothing limits makes laundry easier and mornings smoother
• Smart ways to manage hand-me-downs without letting them take over
• How to deal with sentimental outfits (without guilt!)
• How to teach your kids to declutter and take ownership of their clothes
• The key to keeping new clutter from coming in

When we simplify our kids’ wardrobes, we free up time, space, and mental energy — and we teach our children that enough really is enough.

      <title>106: How Comparison Fuels Clutter &amp; Financial Constraint with Amy Slenker-Smith</title>
      <description>We are being influenced by way of comparison more than we even realize, and this episode is a really inspiring and uplifting conversation about learning to live in a way that we love—not letting advertising or insecurity drive our choices.

I sat down to talk with Amy Slenker-Smith, founder of Simply Enough, about how comparison quietly drives both clutter and overspending. 

We explore 


  how advertising shapes what we think we “need” 

  how to create a home and life that reflect your values—not what social media or society tells you they should be. 

  the difference between healthy inspiration and harmful comparison


And more!

You'll walk away feeling more peace, clarity, and confidence in your own choices.

      <title>105: Strategies for Living Minimally in a Big House (And Research on Buying in Bulk)</title>
      <description>Can you live a minimalist lifestyle in a big house? In this episode of Paring Down, I explore what it really means to live minimally in a large home—and whether buying in bulk actually helps you save money or just adds more clutter.



Discover how American home sizes have changed over time, why the “bigger is better” mindset often backfires, and how to practice realistic minimalism and intentional living no matter how much space you have.



In this episode, you’ll learn:
🏠 5 surprising facts about U.S. home size trends and what they reveal about our culture of consumption
⚖️ The pros and cons of living in a large home—from space to breathe to the burden of upkeep
🧺 Simple minimalist habits to keep your big house clutter-free and calm
🛒 The truth about buying in bulk—when it saves money, when it wastes it, and how your geographical location affects it all



If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Can I be a minimalist and still have a big house?” or “Is bulk buying really worth it?”—this episode will help you find balance between enjoying your space, saving money, and living with intention.

      <title>104: Finding Adventure in Everyday Life (Thanks to Less Clutter) with Shannon &amp; Gerry Arner</title>
      <description>Whether you're an adventure junkie or totally risk-averse, this episode is a fun and motivating listen because it highlights how living with fewer possessions can help you live a more fulfilling life.

I chat with Shannon and Gerry Arner of the popular podcast and blog, Arner Adventures, about how their decision to pare down what they own opened the door to more adventure—both in everyday life and beyond.

We cover:

• How adventure affects our relationships 
• What happens when a leap of faith goes wrong 
• The amazing adventures we’d never do again — but are still grateful we said yes to, just once.

Tune in for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation about finding joy, connection, and adventure when you clear out the clutter—inside and out.

      <itunes:summary>Whether you're an adventure junkie or totally risk-averse, this episode is a fun and motivating listen because it highlights how living with fewer possessions can help you live a more fulfilling life.

I chat with Shannon and Gerry Arner of the popular podcast and blog, Arner Adventures, about how their decision to pare down what they own opened the door to more adventure—both in everyday life and beyond.

We cover:

• How adventure affects our relationships 
• What happens when a leap of faith goes wrong 
• The amazing adventures we’d never do again — but are still grateful we said yes to, just once.

Tune in for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation about finding joy, connection, and adventure when you clear out the clutter—inside and out.

      <title>103: Struggling Through PMDD to Declutter &amp; Tidy</title>
      <description>Getting a little personal this week. Living with PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder)—or ANY chemical imbalance, hormonal sensitivity, or particularly difficult season of life—can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to keeping up with your home. 

In this episode, I’m sharing practical ways to manage your space while living with a recurring shift in your energy and emotional bandwidth. 

You’ll learn:


  
What PMDD is and how it impacts my daily life



  
5 simple strategies to declutter and tidy your home even during tough PMDD days



  
Mindset shifts that help you give yourself grace while still making progress




If you’ve ever felt like your home gets out of control during your PMDD cycle (or another challenging state), this episode is for you.

      <title>102: Creating Systems to Be Productive Toward What Matters with Chelsi Jo</title>
      <description>What would life look like if you didn't have to decide what's for dinner? If you had a communication system that actually worked with your spouse? If you weren't trying to squeeze in work and family at the same time?

Today's episode with Chelsi Jo from Systemize Your Life is a game-changer. You'll look at your life completely differently and wonder, how can I be more intentional so that I actually feel good about how I've spent my time at the end of each day?

Decluttering our schedules and systems is just as important as decluttering our belongings—in fact, they often go hand in hand. I hope you enjoy this conversation!

      <title>101: What Cozy Season Teaches Us About Decluttering</title>
      <description>I hope this episode feels like a warm hug—the embodiment of sweatshirt weather—inviting you to shed clutter from a place of romanticism, not panic. 

Fall is a natural invitation to slow down, reset, and create a home that supports rest and connection. Today, you'll learn how to create space for warmth, peace, and simplicity by taking cues from the changes in nature during the autumn season.

      <title>100: Life-Changing Hacks to Make Tech Your Personal Assistant with Amanda Jefferson</title>
      <description>We made it to 100 episodes of Paring Down! For this milestone, I wanted a super practical episode that will change your life. 

So I sat down with the incredible Tech Whisperer, Amanda Jefferson, to talk about simple, life-changing hacks that help you make technology your personal assistant (instead of your enemy).

*No apps mentioned in this episode are sponsored. But we get to the nitty gritty with exact app names, specific Alexa features, and even which buttons to push on certain set ups.


In this episode, we cover how tech can assist with:

• family shared calendars

• grocery lists

• meal planning

• travel itineraries

• time blocking

• password managing

• email reminders

• maintaining habits

• decluttering photos on your phone


This conversation will make you wonder how you ever lived without these hacks!

        <![CDATA[<p>We made it to 100 episodes of Paring Down! For this milestone, I wanted a super practical episode that will change your life. 

So I sat down with the incredible Tech Whisperer, Amanda Jefferson, to talk about simple, life-changing hacks that help you make technology your personal assistant (instead of your enemy).

*No apps mentioned in this episode are sponsored. But we get to the nitty gritty with exact app names, specific Alexa features, and even which buttons to push on certain set ups.</p>
<p>
In this episode, we cover how tech can assist with:

• family shared calendars</p>
<p>• grocery lists</p>
<p>• meal planning</p>
<p>• travel itineraries</p>
<p>• time blocking</p>
<p>• password managing</p>
<p>• email reminders</p>
<p>• maintaining habits</p>
<p>• decluttering photos on your phone
</p>
<p>This conversation will make you wonder how you ever lived without these hacks!</p>

      <title>99: 7 Tips to Conquer Decluttering Burnout </title>
      <description>Has decluttering become more overwhelming than freeing? You’re not alone. In this episode of Paring Down, I share how to reset when your'e completely burned out.

I hit some major burnout of my own this week, so hopefully the examples from my own life will give you fresh ideas to move forward.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:


  
Why decluttering burnout happens (and why it doesn’t mean you’ve failed)



  
A mix of practical strategies and mindset shifts to keep you from throwing in the towel



  
The difference between intentional rest vs. taking a break 




And plenty more. When you finish listening, I hope you’re ready to make progress with decluttering that doesn’t feel like a slog.

      <title>98: Shaping Your Home to Support Your Wants &amp; Needs with Mia Danielle</title>
      <description>If your house feels like it's working against you—or you can't seem to keep the clutter from coming back—this episode is for you.

After her divorce, today's guest Mia Danielle realized she needed to create a home that supported her, somewhat like a partner in life. That transition sparked her journey into minimalism and intentional living, where she began designing a home that worked for her, not against her.



What You’ll Learn in This Episode:


  
How to create a home that supports your wants, needs, and lifestyle



  
Why traditional decluttering often fails and leads to the clutter cycle



  
Mia’s holistic approach to decluttering and minimalism



  
Small but powerful shifts to make your home feel like a supporter, not a stressor

      <description>In this episode of the Paring Down podcast, we uncover the surprising science of how enthusiasm can fuel your decluttering journey—and why your excitement matters more than you think.

You’ll discover:


  
How mirror neurons influence everyone in your home to get on board with decluttering



  
Fredrickson’s broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions and how joy leads to even more progress



  
The importance of cultivating harmonious passion so decluttering feels sustainable over time

      <title>96: How to Make Your Home Feel Warm &amp; Welcoming with Etiquette Coach, Alison Cheperdak</title>
      <description>In this episode of Paring Down, I’m joined by etiquette coach Alison Cheperdak to talk about how to create a home that feels warm, inviting, and deeply welcoming, which includes motivation to declutter (without going overboard!), as well as emotionally intelligent ways to create personal connection. 

She lets us know:


  
What to do if someone gives you a gift you don’t love (without feeling rude)



  
The one thing you can do that instantly makes guests feel welcome the second they walk through the door



  
The best way to ask guests to leave at the end of the night without outright asking them




If you want to become more hospitable without worrying so much about if your home is good enough, you'll get a ton out of this episode!

      <itunes:summary>In this episode of Paring Down, I’m joined by etiquette coach Alison Cheperdak to talk about how to create a home that feels warm, inviting, and deeply welcoming, which includes motivation to declutter (without going overboard!), as well as emotionally intelligent ways to create personal connection. 

She lets us know:


  
What to do if someone gives you a gift you don’t love (without feeling rude)



  
The one thing you can do that instantly makes guests feel welcome the second they walk through the door



  
The best way to ask guests to leave at the end of the night without outright asking them




If you want to become more hospitable without worrying so much about if your home is good enough, you'll get a ton out of this episode!

      <title>95: How to Declutter a Storage Unit</title>
      <description>In this jam-packed episode of Paring Down, I walk you through how to declutter three common types of storage units—with actionable, step-by-step tips to make the process easier, lighter, and way less overwhelming.

We cover how to declutter:


  
A storage unit filled with items from a deceased loved one



  
A storage unit full of your own things that you want to clear out completely



  
A functional storage unit you still use (like for seasonal items or warehouse inventory) that needs to be decluttered and reorganized




You’ll also learn practical strategies and organizing tricks, including:


  
The surprising power of painter’s tape to reduce decision fatigue



  
The trash bag trick to simplify sorting



  
What to do when you're the one decluttering a loved one’s storage unit but need to save items for other family members



  
The 4 key components of decluttering any storage unit



  
How to declutter sentimental items without guilt




Whether you’re downsizing, moving, or just want to stop paying for a unit you no longer need, this episode will give you the confidence and clarity to take action.

      <title>94: Practical Advice for Living Intentionally with 7x NYT Bestselling Author Gretchen Rubin</title>
      <description>Can you believe THE Gretchen Rubin is on the show?? She's a 7x NYT bestselling author, and one of my professional heroes. 

Her work dives into human nature and happiness, which boils down to understanding ourselves better in order to discover areas for personal agency. From there, we can create lives we love. 

So much of her wisdom lends itself perfectly to decluttering our homes and lives, and you'll LOVE her "Secrets of Adulthood" - an apt title for her latest bestselling book. 

You'll finish this episode feeling excited about experimenting with your own happiness, and wiser for hearing her discuss some of my favorite aphorisms (similar to principles or proverbs) from Secrets of Adulthood.

      <title>93: Behind the Scenes of Our Road Trip to Alaska &amp; What I Wish We'd Decluttered</title>
      <description>Here's what went down on our 3-week road trip to Alaska, insight into our new life in Kodiak, and what we've decluttered since we arrived! 

Isn't it amazing how it feels like so much more arrives in the moving truck than what came out of your last house?

Today's episode is more of a personal update than my usual decluttering lessons, but at this point, we feel like old friends and I wanted to fill you in!

      <title>92: Parenting in a World with X-Rated Content with Kristen A. Jenson</title>
      <description>Today's episode is a little different from our typical conversation, leaning heavily into intentional living. After all, when we drown out the noise and clutter, we have time to focus on what truly matters - and what could be more important than the healthy and safety of our children and grandchildren?

We welcome Kristen A. Jenson, author of the book Good Pictures, Bad Pictures - a children's book designed to promote conversation with our kids about X-rated content they may be exposed to on the internet. She helps us learn why being proactive with these conversations is important, what age to begin these talks, how to help our kids make a plan, and what to do if our kids have already been exposed to things they shouldn't have seen.

I hope this episode is not only informative, but empowering. I feel *less* scared for my children - not more anxious - after gaining the tools I need to tackle this common struggle head on, and I hope you leave this episode feeling more confident, too.

      <title>88: How the Beauty Industry Fuels Overconsumption with Miss America 2014 Nina Davuluri</title>
      <description>If anyone knows about the underbelly of the beauty industry, it's Miss America 2014, Nina Davuluri. 

Nina's documentary COMPLEXion (available on Prime Video) sheds a light on her personal experience with colorism, which led to a deeper dive into international beauty standards and how companies create new insecurities just to get us to buy more and more stuff.

The intersection of the beauty industry and overconsumption can't be ignored. Today's episode allows for nuance - no shaming ourselves or others for partaking in the beauty world - while shedding important light onto what's really going on behind the scenes.

      <itunes:summary>If anyone knows about the underbelly of the beauty industry, it's Miss America 2014, Nina Davuluri. 

Nina's documentary COMPLEXion (available on Prime Video) sheds a light on her personal experience with colorism, which led to a deeper dive into international beauty standards and how companies create new insecurities just to get us to buy more and more stuff.

The intersection of the beauty industry and overconsumption can't be ignored. Today's episode allows for nuance - no shaming ourselves or others for partaking in the beauty world - while shedding important light onto what's really going on behind the scenes.

      <title>86: Strategies for Getting Your Kids to Declutter</title>
      <description>"How do I get my kids to declutter if they're super attached to all their stuff?" "Should I include my kids or do it myself?" "Where should I start?" 

Today we're diving into a bunch of practical strategies for decluttering kid stuff, covering things like:

      <title>85: Become an Essentialist with NYT Bestselling Author, Greg McKeown</title>
      <description>NYT Bestselling author Greg McKeown is on the show!! (WHAT?!) Buckle up for one of the most special, exciting, and insightful episodes of Paring Down  yet as we dive into his two mega-hits, Essentialism and Effortless.

In this episode, you'll grasp a deeper understanding of how to identify what's important in your life and what's unnecessary excess (i.e. clutter). But we're not just decluttering our homes and lives, here. Greg takes things a step further to impart wisdom on how to effortlessly achieve the things that we've deemed essential. 

You'll learn when, exactly, a goal is actually "done."

You'll learn about mimetic desire and how it's holding us back.

You'll learn the difference between lack state and have space, and which one you need to make your path infinitely easier.

You do NOT want to miss this one!!

      <title>84: Learning to Ride the Waves of Clutter Tolerance </title>
      <description>Sometimes the clutter drives us nuts...and sometimes, we don't have the energy to get worked up about it. Guess what? That's totally normal!

Today we're talking through the reasons why your clutter tolerance might ebb and flow, so you'll walk away feeling less pressure to be rigid in your approach to a living a life with less.

      <title>82: The Sweet Spot Between Beauty &amp; Function with Whitney English</title>
      <description>We often think that minimalism looks one way: white, neutral, &amp; bare as possible. The truth is that minimalism simply means choosing only what's truly important and essential to each of us, personally, and letting those things shine.



Designer Whitney English is releasing a new book (today!) called "Organize First, Decorate Second," and you'll love this conversation about how to create a home that is comfortable and personalized to reflect YOU - but without the disarray or chaos.

      <title>81: The Art of Making Friends &amp; How it Helps Us Declutter</title>
      <description>Does it sometimes feel impossible to make real friends in adulthood? And what does that have to do with paring down our lives?



As a military wife, I have to build a new community for our family every three years. And I've found that not only do friendships help us enjoy life, but they're a big reason it's easier to live a life with less. When we know we can rely on neighbors and friends to lend us things, come to our rescue when needed, and generally be a support system, then we are less tempted to use physical possessions as a form of security. 



In today's episode, I walk you through tactics I use to make new friends wherever we move, and dive into the power of different types of relationships using "bridging" and "bonding."

      <title>80: Be Rich in What Matters with Julia Ubbenga</title>
      <description>When you slow down and consider your life, do you feel rich in what matters? Today's guest, Julia Ubbenga, found herself asking that question years ago, which has led to her influencing thousands of other women to do the same. 



In today's episode, we talk about how to free ourselves from comparison, impatience/anger, and exhaustion through the practice of living with less. Julia's spiritual and parental wisdom shines bright, and you'll walk away with the refreshed knowledge that the promises of this world through material possessions are empty and unsatisfying. Instead, we can let go of it all and focus on what truly brings joy.

      <title>79: Decluttering Before You Move (or Mock Move)</title>
      <description>There's no motivation to declutter quite like relocating! But where should we start?



In this episode I break down why we should declutter before we move, and 10 categories to focus on in order to avoid taking clutter with you to your new home. 



Even if you're not moving, today's episode is a fun one to get ideas for a "mock move," which is to declutter your home *as though* you plan on moving. It's a really helpful lens through which to find some motivation!

        <![CDATA[<p>There's no motivation to declutter quite like relocating! But where should we start?</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>In this episode I break down why we should declutter before we move, and 10 categories to focus on in order to avoid taking clutter with you to your new home. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Even if you're not moving, today's episode is a fun one to get ideas for a "mock move," which is to declutter your home *as though* you plan on moving. It's a really helpful lens through which to find some motivation!</p>

      <title>78: Addressing the Mental Load of Clutter with Dr. Morgan Cutlip</title>
      <description>"What if our partner says they'll do something, but they don't follow through?" 

"How do we get our partners to care about all the details of home/family management?" 



These are just two of the questions I ask relationship expert and author Dr. Morgan Cutlip on today's episode of Paring Down. 



"The mental load" is a big term getting a lot of attention these days because it's an important component to healthy, happy relationships. Clutter can feel like one big "to-do" list, and if we shoulder the responsibility for dealing with it by ourselves, it's recipe for resentment and disconnection in our relationship.



In today's episode, relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip shares about her new book "A Better Share: How Couples Can Tackle the Mental Load for More Fun, Less Resentment, and Great Sex," coming out April 15th. I think you'll love her positive yet realistic take.

      <title>77: What If I End Up Needing What I've Decluttered?</title>
      <description>What-if items tend to be the biggest culprits of clutter! We are worried we'll need it some day, so we hold on just in case. 



In this episode, I walk through 5 helpful ways to combat this battle with "what-if??" so that we can become more discerning about what's worth keeping and what we need to let go.

      <title>76: Is Celebrity Self-Help Advice Useful? with Jim Oliver</title>
      <description>Introducing my brother, Jim Oliver!! We talk about losing our mom 12 years ago, and what that has meant for both of us in terms of living our lives with clear intention - even though that intentionality looks different between the two of us. 



Jim also shares about his fascinating career as a booking agent for celebrities and major motivational speakers, offering us insight to how to make the most of "self-help," along with answering my questions about the potential underbelly of the self-help industry.

      <title>75: Minimalism Hot Takes</title>
      <description>The beautiful part about intentional living is that we get to decide what resonates with us and what doesn't. Not all advice is for everyone, and that's A-okay. 



In that spirit, there seem to be some generally-accepted viewpoints in the minimalism and decluttering world that I, personally, disagree with. So here are some of my hot takes! From sparking joy to the 20/20 rule...I have thoughts!

      <title>74: Removing the Chaos from Our Email Accounts &amp; Desktops with Shawn Lemon</title>
      <description>Ready for some truly practical help that will change your daily life?



Shawn Lemon of The Digital Organizer delivers just that in today's episode as he shares with us practical steps we can take to make our email accounts, desktop, and digital storage less chaotic and far more streamlined.



I personally was so motivated after our conversation that I went to town on my own digital spaces as soon as our interview ended, and can say - without being dramatic - that his simple, understandable approach changed my life. I open email and my computer and feel like a new person. 



I hope you will, too, when you're done listening to this episode and taking the easy steps to implement his advice into your life!

      <itunes:summary>Ready for some truly practical help that will change your daily life?



Shawn Lemon of The Digital Organizer delivers just that in today's episode as he shares with us practical steps we can take to make our email accounts, desktop, and digital storage less chaotic and far more streamlined.



I personally was so motivated after our conversation that I went to town on my own digital spaces as soon as our interview ended, and can say - without being dramatic - that his simple, understandable approach changed my life. I open email and my computer and feel like a new person. 



I hope you will, too, when you're done listening to this episode and taking the easy steps to implement his advice into your life!

      <title>73: Avoiding Vacation Clutter: Souvenirs &amp; Vacay Wardrobe</title>
      <description>Spring Break is right around the corner, and it's very tempting to buy new wardrobes for vacation or bring home plenty of souvenirs. (Especially if it means avoiding a toddler breakdown in the middle of public.)



So let's talk about ways to avoid all that vacation clutter -- both in shopping ahead of time, and while we're there!

      <title>72: Does Money Make Us Happier? with Jeff Golden</title>
      <description>Defining what is "sacred" is to determine what truly matters and to recognize the beautiful intersection of every living thing. In this realm, Jeff Golden has spent 30 years and won multiple awards for his work regarding the connection (or lack thereof) between money and happiness so that we can better reject the things that are NOT sacred.



On the podcast, Jeff shares fascinating studies and statistics that paint a picture of the lies that money and overconsumption tell us, and offers ways we can make the concerted effort to reclaim the things that truly matter -- including our own worth.

      <title>71:  How Growing Up in a Cult Made Me More Intentional</title>
      <description>Whew, I kind of can't believe I'm pressing publish on this one. I grew up in a high control religious organization, and today I'm sharing my story after a lot of interest came in after I mentioned it in a reel! 



I know this is.a bit off the subject of decluttering, but it ties in beautifully with the bigger message of intentional living. I hope this episode is not only interesting, but helps shed some light on the importance of being intentional about our beliefs by making them our own.

      <title>70: Is Decluttering Just for the Financially Secure? with Aubrey High</title>
      <description>Avoiding difficult subjects isn't something I want to do on Paring Down. Yet I want to make sure I approach them with humility, positivity, and an open mind - and I hope that tone comes through on today's episode.



I'm so grateful to have Aubrey High from The Reclaimed Home alongside me as we talk through insights she's gained while working with people who are financially insecure - and often recovering from trauma - to responsibly declutter and organize their homes. (Stories shared on this episode are done so with permission and anonymity.)

      <title>69: The 10 Best Principles to Guide Your Decluttering</title>
      <description>Finding a decluttering method that works for you is great, but identifying principles that can apply to any decluttering decision is even more powerful.



In this episode, I share 10 principles -- or established truths about life -- that can help guide our processes and decisions as we decide what should stay and what should go in our homes, schedules, and beyond. 



Mentioned in this episode:

Shannon's Instagram post about decluttering clothing that doesn't fit

Effortless by Greg McKeown

      <title>68: Decluttering for Senior Adults &amp; Their Families with Jeannine Bryant</title>
      <description>This episode has been a long time coming, and I'm so happy it's finally here!!! I know so many of you struggle to help your parents declutter in their senior years of life, or perhaps you're a senior adult yourself and struggling to manage the possessions you've accumulated in life.



I'm honored that Jeannine Bryant of Easy Rightsizing joined me to share her 15 years of wisdom on this topic, having helped hundreds of seniors and their families downsize (or "rightsize") their belongings. Jeannine's approach is one of practicality, respect, and - above all - connection. You will feel seen. You will feel empowered. You will feel prepared. And you will LOVE this episode.

      <title>67: 5 Psychological Phenomena that Affect Decluttering &amp; Consumption</title>
      <description>It's always SO exciting when I record something that immediately becomes one of my favorite episodes. This is one of those!! My degree is in psychology because I've always been fascinated with understanding human behavior, motivations, and emotions. So today, I explore 5 psychological theories and cognitive biases that affect WHY it's hard to declutter, and what we can do to move forward.



I hope you feel seen and empowered.



Remember: I am not a doctor of psychology, rather just sharing concepts I've found to be highly interesting!

      <itunes:summary>It's always SO exciting when I record something that immediately becomes one of my favorite episodes. This is one of those!! My degree is in psychology because I've always been fascinated with understanding human behavior, motivations, and emotions. So today, I explore 5 psychological theories and cognitive biases that affect WHY it's hard to declutter, and what we can do to move forward.



I hope you feel seen and empowered.



Remember: I am not a doctor of psychology, rather just sharing concepts I've found to be highly interesting!

      <title>65: Reflection Questions to Live More Intentionally</title>
      <description>We can't live intentionally while never taking time to pause and reflect on our lives. Through this purposeful evaluation, we are able to consciously decide our next steps, what to keep, and what to let go. 



Even if resolutions aren't your thing, this is a great time of year to do this practice of reflection -- so let's walk through 8 questions together and see what adjustments it's time to make (or not)!

      <title>64: Tweaks to Simplify Your Life with Erin Port</title>
      <description>Today we welcome Erin Port of Simple Purposeful Living to the podcast! I LOVE Erin's "big sister energy" (her words) that so gently remind us that we don't have to be extreme with our choices in order to simplify our lives.



In a season of overwhelm (Merry Christmas Eve, btw!), I think you'll absolutely love this episode that helps you find ways to make your life easier through the littlest tweaks.

      <title>63: A Balanced Approach to Birthday Parties</title>
      <description>Birthday parties are a great example of how the true power of a “minimalish” life isn’t in less for the sake of less, rather it’s about intentionality. 



In this episode, I share how our family personally approaches birthday parties - from why we do them at all, to how many kids are invited, to gifts and goody bags and themes! 



Biggest takeaway: Minimalism isn’t the lens through which I view life. It’s a symptom of living intentionally…because inevitably, only the essential will shine. But I don’t look at life as a challenge to do or have the least possible. There’s a difference there, and the former is much more freeing!

      <description>THE ONE THE ONLY Tyler Moore aka Tidy Dad is on today's episode! Tyler is so engaging, positive, and honest-- three attributes that have led him to features on Good Morning America and in The New York Times, Apartment Therapy, and more. You'll love listening to his insights that inspire us all to tidy up our homes and lives! 



Plus you MUST get your hands on his book, Tidy Up Your Life, which releases January 7th. I got an advanced reader copy and you can read my review in my "Nonfiction" highlight HERE in my profile!

      <title>60: Decluttering Out of Gratitude with Deanna Yates</title>
      <description>We often declutter from a place of frustration with all of the stuff in our homes, but the process is not only more enjoyable - but more sustainable, too - if we approach decluttering out of gratitude. 



In this episode, Deanna Yates from the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast shares some of the ways she takes a gratitude-led approach to decluttering. We also talk about how living with less sparks more thankfulness in our hearts.

        <![CDATA[<p>We often declutter from a place of frustration with all of the stuff in our homes, but the process is not only more enjoyable - but more sustainable, too - if we approach decluttering out of gratitude. </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>In this episode, Deanna Yates from the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast shares some of the ways she takes a gratitude-led approach to decluttering. We also talk about how living with less sparks more thankfulness in our hearts.</p>

      <title>58: Spending Money on What We Value with Jen Smith</title>
      <description>You lucky ducks get to hear from Jen Smith of the highly popular Frugal Friends podcast! In this episode of Paring Down, she teaches us all about values-based spending so that you can Buy What You Love Without Going Broke - which also happens to be the name of her book coming out in January (alongside cohost and coauthor Jill Sirianni). 



How we spend our money is often directly related to the clutter in our homes and schedules, so you don't want to miss this motivating conversation that underscores my favorite theme that threads together every episode: Intentional living.

In this episode of Paring Down, she teaches us all about values-based spending so that you can Buy What You Love Without Going Broke - which also happens to be the name of her book coming out in January (alongside cohost and coauthor Jill Sirianni). 



How we spend our money is often directly related to the clutter in our homes and schedules, so you don't want to miss this motivating conversation that underscores my favorite theme that threads together every episode: Intentional living.

      <title>56: What If You Lost Everything? with Lala Hairston</title>
      <description>Lala Hairston lives in the Tampa Bay area, which was ravaged by both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. She shares her powerful story of coming to terms with the possibility of losing everything she owns, and how that gave her new perspective on living a more decluttered life. She also shares valuable and vulnerable outlooks on the meaning of "stuff" from lessons in her childhood, starting at age 6 when she and her mom arrived in the United States with only 4 suitcases.

        <![CDATA[<p>Lala Hairston lives in the Tampa Bay area, which was ravaged by both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. She shares her powerful story of coming to terms with the possibility of losing everything she owns, and how that gave her new perspective on living a more decluttered life. She also shares valuable and vulnerable outlooks on the meaning of "stuff" from lessons in her childhood, starting at age 6 when she and her mom arrived in the United States with only 4 suitcases.</p>

      <title>55: The Ripple Effect of Clutter with Laura Carlin</title>
      <description>Have you ever considered how your home either helps you or hinders you when it comes to your goals?



Is it helping you be the kind of parent you want to be, or making it harder?



Is it helping you have a stronger marriage, or distracting you from your partner?



Clutter can affect us in ways we may not even realize. So can our routines and boundaries.



In this episode, author Laura Forbes Carlin shares her insight on this ripple effect of clutter, and offers different concepts that can help us figure out how to choose what stays and what goes (like “everything is alive”). She also shares a framework for deciding when and how to include your kids in the decluttering process.

      <title>54: How to Keep the Clutter from Coming Back</title>
      <description>Somehow, inanimate objects seem to grow legs and find their way back into our homes and onto our counters. Decluttering can feel like fighting a losing battle-- barely scooping the water out of the boat before it comes rushing back in.



This episode covers 5 reasons clutter might keep coming back in your home, and ways to make sure you can finally keep it out for good.

      <title>51: Getting to the Root of Our Clutter with Jenny Albertini</title>
      <description>Who better to help us understand how clutter affects us from a holistic perspective than public health expert, Jenny Albertini?



Jenny uses easy to recognize categories (health, home and work/beyond), but pulls in the underpinning issues (structural inequities, brain based conditions, consumer culture) to help anyone looking to live a healthier, less overwhelmed life. 



Her experience being trained under Marie Kondo herself and spending thousands of hours helping clients organize their homes gives her a tremendous amount of insight and perspective to complement her background in public health.



How does clutter affect our relationships? Our culture? Our health? And what about the other way around...how do all of those things affect our clutter?



This conversation will make you feel validated in your struggle with clutter and consumerism, but inspired and challenged at the same time.

      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/50-The-Guilt--Fear-of-Decluttering-Gifts-e2oarni</link>
      <description>"What if they ask me where it is??" "I feel ungrateful." "They expect to see it displayed."



These are just a few of the hard issues we dive into on today's episode, because we're talking about parting with items that were gifted to us.



Decluttering gifts can be really tricky, primarily because of two emotions: 



Guilt - an internal experience as we wrestle with our core values (gratitude, kindness, etc.).



Fear - which is formed from the external pressure we feel from another person to keep the gift...and our discomfort around their potential reaction if we don't. 



Today's episode is NOT an easy or straightforward topic, but I hope you find the strategies and mindsets I share useful as you declutter your home to experience a less stressful, more functional environment...all while navigating the tricky waters of relationships and personal dissonance.

      <description>There are two major pieces to living a decluttered life:



1) What we get OUT 

2) What we let IN



On today's episode with Brad Nelson from Debt Free Dad, we talk about how to make smart choices with our money that not only decrease financial stress, but help us stay mindful about what we let IN during our decluttering journey.



Brad also shares ways we can make money while decluttering as a tool for getting out of debt or creating a rainy day savings account.

        <![CDATA[<p>There are two major pieces to living a decluttered life:</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>1) What we get OUT </p>
<p>2) What we let IN</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>On today's episode with Brad Nelson from Debt Free Dad, we talk about how to make smart choices with our money that not only decrease financial stress, but help us stay mindful about what we let IN during our decluttering journey.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Brad also shares ways we can make money while decluttering as a tool for getting out of debt or creating a rainy day savings account.</p>

      <title>48: Decluttering Books as a Book Lover</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/48-Decluttering-Books-as-a-Book-Lover-e2npen1</link>
      <description>STOP, book lovers! Don't scoff and say "No way am I listening to this episode because books are something I'll never declutter!"



I mean, you can absolutely say that and we can still be friends and it's all good.



However, I think this episode will surprise you! I'm a huge book lover myself, so I want to 100% validate readers by recognizing exactly why it's so hard to declutter our precious books.



I offer 5 top reasons we want to hold onto them, then ONLY once those reasons are fully understood and accepted do we dive into mindset shifts or new perspectives that may help you lighten your load in a way that heightens your love for books rather than diminishes it in any way.

      <title>47: Motivation to Unplug &amp; Enjoy Life with Eric Moeller</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/47-Motivation-to-Unplug--Enjoy-Life-with-Eric-Moeller-e2nkk7u</link>
      <description>No one wants to end up on their death bed and say, "I wish I hadn't spent so much time on my phone."



Founder of FreeWyld vacation cabins, Eric Moeller helps shed light on the importance of unplugging in a practical (not unrealistic) way. 



His 6 steps for entering into what he calls "Wyld Mode" help us break out of our screens and embrace experiences with our loved ones that truly feed our souls and help us live the life we know we want to live.



In this episode, we also talk about finding purpose in what we do with our time, alongside the benefits of spending unplugged time building healthy relationships.

      <title>46: How We Decluttered Our Garage</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/46-How-We-Decluttered-Our-Garage-e2n31e8</link>
      <description>Ask and you shall receive!



When I polled the audience a few weeks ago about areas you'd like to declutter, lots of you said that your garage or your basement were hanging over your heads.



Sometimes these huge projects can feel impossible, so we never start them out of a state of overwhelmed paralyzation.



I hope today's episode gives you the encouragement to start on your own garage, basement, or doom room - to hear how my husband and I tackled ours, and to know that it CAN be done! You CAN do it!

      <title>45: Determining Your Priorities with Ashli Pollard</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/45-Determining-Your-Priorities-with-Ashli-Pollard-e2n2p2j</link>
      <description>Paring down what's important in our life sounds nice and all, but HOW?



So often, pretty much everything feels important. We'd love to say that not everything is a priority, but most of the time it can feel anxiety-provoking to not *do it all.*



Business owner (x5) Ashli Pollard is at the top of her field - her agency working with celebs from Brooke Shields to Bethenny Frankel - and reaching thousands of entrepreneurs with her podcast, The Unfiltered Entrepreneur, and her online membership, The Doers. 



If anyone knows about determining priorities, it's Ashli. She offers practical approaches we can take to figuring out what needs our attention NOW, and what can wait - both in our work and in our personal life.



Plus she's been one of my favorite humans and friends for 12 years. It's a fun episode - we both love to laugh, and hope you do too!

      <title>43: Creating Household Rhythms to Foster Peace with Ben &amp; Brianna Folkman</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/43-Creating-Household-Rhythms-to-Foster-Peace-with-Ben--Brianna-Folkman-e2midap</link>
      <description>One of the most efficient ways to simplify your life so your life becomes exponentially easier is to implement household rhythms.



Each new rhythm (i.e. routine, habit, etc,) takes away the mental load of problem-solving and decision fatigue. When you don't have to think through what to do, you're left with way more brain space and a lot less stress.



Ben and Brianna Folkman of Folklife Rhythms have spent years learning best practices for implementing their "flexible frameworks" in order to create a more peaceful home - even during the chaotic years of little kids.



They walk us through their understanding of how rhythms create security in our relationships (for our kids, too!), as well as their Parenting and Teamwork Series that sets couples up for success as they navigate life as a unit.

      <title>42: 15 Ways to Spend Less Money</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/42-15-Ways-to-Spend-Less-Money-e2m54jh</link>
      <description>This episode doesn't list things to avoid temptation, like unfollow influencers or take the Amazon Prime app off your phone - though those are great ways to save money!



Instead, we're talking about actionable steps that will save you money - from small choices to big life decisions.

      <title>41: Timeless Truths About Simplicity with Suzanne Johnson</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/41-Timeless-Truths-About-Simplicity-with-Suzanne-Johnson-e2lgid3</link>
      <description>How do you know an idea is true?



That's a pretty big question, but I've found that the best way to know if an idea is worth exploring is to find out how long it's been around.



Because, as Mark Twain famously said, "There's no such thing as a new idea."



Sage wisdom usually comes in the form of a repetitive idea that respected spiritual and thought leaders have landed on independently over hundreds - even thousands - of years.



Today on the podcast, we welcome Suzanne Johnson, whose book Vital Simplicity pulls on the work of Charles Wagner - who authored The Simple Life in 1895. 



Living simply as a means to internal fulfillment is a timeless truth - a conclusion that dates back as far as 600 BCE. 



If that's not motivation to at least explore the principle of living with less...I don't know what is!

<p><strong>Blocks </strong></p>
<p><strong>by Suzanne Johnson</strong></p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Child plays </p>
<p>Hour after hour </p>
<p>Stacking blocks </p>
<p>Knocking down </p>
<p>Holding wooden </p>
<p>Cubes in his </p>
<p>Tender hands </p>
<p>He is </p>
<p>Entertained </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Leave the </p>
<p>Floor bare </p>
<p>Except for </p>
<p>These sturdy </p>
<p>Pieces </p>
<p>He finds his </p>
<p>Way </p>
<p>His interest is </p>
<p>Held </p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Add Legos </p>
<p>To the mix </p>
<p>And coloring </p>
<p>Books </p>
<p>Trains and trucks </p>
<p>And why not </p>
<p>Screens? </p>
<p>He soon becomes </p>
<p>Bored</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>Let his </p>
<p>Amusement </p>
<p>Be in the </p>
<p>Simple things </p>
<p>Let his </p>
<p>Vision sharpen on </p>
<p>One thing at a </p>
<p>Time </p>
<p>Cut through the </p>
<p>Clutter </p>
<p>And find </p>
<p>Joy </p>

      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/40-Managing-Your-Busy-Schedule-Using-Time-Blocking-e2lf50q</link>
      <description>What do you do when there just aren't enough hours in the day?



I've got you!



Time blocking might sound intimidating, but in this episode I break down exactly how to block out your schedule in order to 

- avoid burnout

- accomplish your goals

- avoid time-sucking distractions



This episode also covers brain-dumping and checklists, which are tools you can use no matter how structured or flexible you prefer your days.

      <title>39: How Living with Less Inspires Generosity with Ultralight Backpacker Glen Van Peski</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/39-How-Living-with-Less-Inspires-Generosity-with-Ultralight-Backpacker-Glen-Van-Peski-e2lf4bc</link>
      <description>The benefits of living with less can be discovered through as many avenues as there are people - and today, we hear how ultralight backpacking was the catalyst for Glen Van Peski to embrace a lighter load in his every day life.





Glen's wilderness stories are inspiring (I can't help but laugh at his hiking story with Matthew McConaughey), but his lessons about generosity as a result of minimalism are even more profound. 



We often think "But I need MORE in order to give to others," but Glen's hard-won wisdom and experience proves otherwise. When we live with only the essentials, we make space for showing up for others in ways that we'd be blind to otherwise.





This is an episode that I think will stick with you for a very long time. Glen's book Take Less, Do More: Surprising Life Lessons in Generosity, Gratitude, and Curiosity from an Ultralight Backpacker is available wherever you buy books!

      <title>38: A Shame-Free &amp; Intentional Approach to Screen Time for Kids</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/38-A-Shame-Free--Intentional-Approach-to-Screen-Time-for-Kids-e2l5oa0</link>
      <description>Screen time is a really sensitive subject.



I cover why these sensitivities are important to respect and address in the beginning of this episode - there are very real dynamics that have NOTHING to do with how much parents love their kids as to why some families use more screen time than others.



With that in mind, decluttering and minimalism are rooted in intentionality - and that intentionality piece is the focus of today's episode as we talk through screen use as parents. 



I share exactly where we've landed with screens in our home at this stage in life and how we can all approach our decisions about screen time with flexibility, foresight, and deliberate consciousness.

      <title>37: Curating Simple &amp; Ethical Closets with Lacey Woodroof</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/37-Curating-Simple--Ethical-Closets-with-Lacey-Woodroof-e2ktvvq</link>
      <description>I don't know about you, but I want getting dressed to feel easy.



I want to feel good in my clothes, no matter how casual or dressy the occasion. 



I don't want to feel overwhelmed by choices or frustrated that I have "nothing to wear."



I also want to know that my closet isn't a result of someone else in this world barely scraping by. Cheap clothes that fall apart are not only annoying, they're usually a representation of mistreatment. 



The older I get, the more I know it's up to me to put in slightly more effort into how I acquire clothing, because while I can't fix every problem in this world, I CAN look at my own choices and evaluate if they're something I'm proud of.



As always, this podcast is a no-judgment zone, so if you consistently partake in fast fashion - don't be alarmed. This episode is to help ALL of us be less stressed when we get dressed in the morning, and may provide a few new ideas to chew on!



Our guest, Lacey Woodroof of Basic (abasicshop.com), speaks to the heart of why women's fashion can be such a pain, and offers creative and practical ways to start dressing in a less overwhelming, more sustainable manner.

      <title>35: Making Unconventional Choices to Live More Intentionally with Sona Avetisyan</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/35-Making-Unconventional-Choices-to-Live-More-Intentionally-with-Sona-Avetisyan-e2kfdre</link>
      <description>Ready to get personal?

Living with less goes a LOT deeper than having a less stressful, decluttered home. This week's guest, Sona Avetisyan, is a professional organizer whose focus on intentional living is deeply reflected in her own life.

Sona shares about her own journey of discovering what she actually cares about - even though it's counter cultural - and what that looked like in the wake of a divorce. She speaks vulnerably and passionately about creating a life that represents our personal core values, no matter how unconventional it may be.

      <title>34: The Pitfall of Too Much Backstock</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/34-The-Pitfall-of-Too-Much-Backstock-e2k0jmj</link>
      <description>For the sake of savings and convenience, so many of us fall into the trap of keeping too much backstock in our homes.



It's become all too common to treat our homes as a store, instead of letting stores be the store and our homes be our home - with just enough that we need for daily living inside it.



So what IS the right amount of backstock?



We'll explore that question on today's podcast through different lenses in regards to waste, finances, and the stress caused by clutter...because backstock is a BIG culprit of the clutter in our homes.

      <title>33: Slowing Down Our Lives with Stephanie Seferian</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/33-Slowing-Down-Our-Lives-with-Stephanie-Seferian-e2jpinf</link>
      <description>The question we often forget to ask ourselves even though it is central to our wellbeing: 



Is this working for me? 



Does this pace of life feel good? Am I spending my time how I’d like? Are my routines helping me or cycles I’d like to break out of? 



If our basic needs like food and shelter are met, then where we spend our time is up to us! 



Sometimes it doesn’t feel that way, does it? 



In this episode, Stephanie Seferian of the Sustainable Minimalists walks us through what it means to slow down and truly live a life that’s aligns with each of our unique wishes, needs, and temperaments.

      <title>32: Finding the Time to Declutter</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/32-Finding-the-Time-to-Declutter-e2jimnd</link>
      <description>"How do you find the time to declutter?"



I hear this question on repeat - and I get it! Between kids and jobs and just...life...it's hard to find time to eat a meal sometimes, much less tackle decluttering the house.



So I hope this episode gives you some ideas of how to find the time as I share what has worked for me during 3 different stages in my life: As a full time "working" mom, as a SAHM, and as a hybrid of both. Because I've been all 3, and each comes with its own challenges for finding the time!

      <itunes:subtitle>&lt;p&gt;&amp;quot;How do you find the time to declutter?&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I hear this question on repeat - and I get it! Between kids and jobs and just...life...it&amp;#39;s hard to find time to eat a meal sometimes, much less tackle decluttering the house.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I hope this episode gives you some ideas of how to find the time as I share what has worked for me during 3 different stages in my life: As a full time &amp;quot;working&amp;quot; mom, as a SAHM, and as a hybrid of both. Because I&amp;#39;ve been all 3, and each comes with its own challenges for finding the time!&lt;/p&gt;

I hear this question on repeat - and I get it! Between kids and jobs and just...life...it's hard to find time to eat a meal sometimes, much less tackle decluttering the house.



So I hope this episode gives you some ideas of how to find the time as I share what has worked for me during 3 different stages in my life: As a full time "working" mom, as a SAHM, and as a hybrid of both. Because I've been all 3, and each comes with its own challenges for finding the time!

      <title>31: Taking Messy Action with Sarah Horgan</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/31-Taking-Messy-Action-with-Sarah-Horgan-e2j9h0i</link>
      <description>Well, folks. It happened.

My first tears on the podcast.

Sarah Horgan of the Simple &amp; Intentional Podcast is one of those people who makes you feel completely seen and heard, and I am so grateful we had such a personal and honest conversation.

Sarah's story of being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer 10 years ago and how that led her to live a more intentional, minimal life is powerful. 

We also went in deep about these deeply ingrained notions of perfectionism and people-pleasing that often paralyze use from taking the action we need to in order to see change in our lives.

      <description>FIFTY-EIGHT SQUARE FEET, people.



It's nuts and we love it!



This week I share with you a bit more behind-the-scenes of van life in our camper van that is 58 square feet of "living" space, and how spending time in such close quarters with 5 humans and 2 dogs really highlights the beauty of living with less.



I also offer some tips and ideas for your next road trip - especially if you have kids in tow!

        <![CDATA[<p>FIFTY-EIGHT SQUARE FEET, people.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>It's nuts and we love it!</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>This week I share with you a bit more behind-the-scenes of van life in our camper van that is 58 square feet of "living" space, and how spending time in such close quarters with 5 humans and 2 dogs really highlights the beauty of living with less.</p>
<p><br></p>
<p>I also offer some tips and ideas for your next road trip - especially if you have kids in tow!</p>

      <title>29: Paring Down Flight Anxiety with my dad &amp; pilot, J.D. Oliver </title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/29-Paring-Down-Flight-Anxiety-with-J-D--Oliver-Paring-Down-Travel-Miniseries-e2iob00</link>
      <description>You do NOT want to miss this one, you guys.



While this podcast primarily focuses on paring down our belongings to declutter our homes, I like to branch out a bit every now and then to pare down different beliefs, anxieties, and ideas we have on a variety of subjects in order to help us move through the world with less stress and more peace.



Well, flight anxiety is one of those things I simply can't ignore during a miniseries called Paring Down Travel. And who better to help us feel a bit better than my old man??



He's a former fighter pilot for the U.S. Navy, and went on to fly for FedEx. A Top Gun grad and all-around brilliant human and aviator, my dad not only shares his FASCINATING stories of flying, but gives us helpful information that can keep us a bit calmer in the air.

      <title>28: Travel Wisdom from a Flight Attendant with Caroline Bright </title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/28-Ask-a-Flight-Attendant--Flying-with-Kids-with-Caroline-Bright-Paring-Down-Travel-Miniseries-e2iebl9</link>
      <description>What if my kid needs to pee when the fasten seatbelt sign is on?



What should I bring to entertain my kids on a flight?



Also, what exactly is the role of a flight attendant? From their perspective, what are basic dos and don'ts of air travel?

 

You will LOVE this enlightening and fun conversation with former Miss Vermont, year-9 flight attendant for a major US airline, Unitarian Universalist Ministerial Intern, and mom of 2 (almost 3!) - Caroline Bright.



This Paring Down Travel Miniseries is aiming to help us figure out what's important when it comes to traveling, and I have no doubt you'll learn a ton from this true professional in the airline industry.

      <title>27: Learning to Travel Light with Miss America 2015, Kira K. Dixon </title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/27-Traveling-Light-with-Kira-K--Dixon-Paring-Down-Travel-Miniseries-e2hsn0e</link>
      <description>Paring Down Travel is a miniseries I’ve wanted to bring you since the moment The Paring Down Podcast was conceptualized. Particularly air travel. And I KNEW I had to bring on Miss America 2015 and sports broadcaster, Kira K. Dixon. 



Kira is one of my personal fashion icons and manages to always look amazing and unique while traveling 30 weeks a year. How does she keep her sense of style and self while packing just a carry on? You’re about to find out, and I hope this episode encourages you to be a savvy, light traveler on your future adventures.

      <itunes:subtitle>&lt;p&gt;Paring Down Travel is a miniseries I’ve wanted to bring you since the moment The Paring Down Podcast was conceptualized. Particularly air travel. And I KNEW I had to bring on Miss America 2015 and sports broadcaster, Kira K. Dixon. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kira is one of my personal fashion icons and manages to always look amazing and unique while traveling 30 weeks a year. How does she keep her sense of style and self while packing just a carry on? You’re about to find out, and I hope this episode encourages you to be a savvy, light traveler on your future adventures. &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>26: What to Do With Gifts That Are Clutter</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/26-What-to-Do-With-Gifts-That-Are-Clutter-e2hrlhd</link>
      <description>"What do I do with all the stuff other people give me and the kids?" Whew, this is a BIG one.

It's a nuanced topic, but I hope you find nuggets of help-- both practical and mindset-driven-- as we walk through 5 different types of gifts we receive from other people.

From holidays to hand-me-downs, I share with you best practices that have helped me navigate personal relationships with care while also respecting my own need for a less cluttered and stressful home.

      <title>25: Releasing Shame When Decluttering with ADHD with Elena Willitts</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/25-Releasing-Shame-When-Decluttering-with-ADHD-with-Elena-Willitts-e2hikuo</link>
      <description>Our brains don't all work the same way, so we won't have the same experience decluttering and managing our homes!

Elena Willits, host of the Kind Organizing Podcast, shares her own experience with ADHD and how it has shown up in her journey to create a peaceful living space.

With vulnerability and practicality, Elena talks us through feelings of shame many of us experience when we can't seem to stay on top of our homes, along with how she's developed practices and routines that allow her to enjoy a home that is well lived-in, but not overwhelming.

      <title>24: Decluttering Photos On Our Phones and In Our Homes</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/24-Decluttering-Photos-On-Our-Phones-and-In-Our-Homes-e2h5rd3</link>
      <description>You only get to find out how many photos are on my phone if you listen to the podcast! Haha...but seriously, it's embarrassing. I'm learning right along with you in this episode, offering strategies for how to go through an overwhelming number of photos, and best ways to organize them once we declutter.We also dive a bit deeper into the importance of photos. How can we be intentional about preserving memories instead of picking up the phone simply because that's what we're used to doing? What are we so afraid of in terms of not documenting every moment and experience? We also talk a bit about hard copy photos and what to do with all those 4x6s from high school or summer camp 2002.

Shannon's family yearbook: Chatbooks app



Ordering 4x6 prints: Snapfish (100 free prints/month with the app!)



4x6 Album for Family Yearbook - large capacity ($20.39 - I lied-- the 600 pocket one doesn't have margins for captions but you can write pertinent info on the back of a photo! I like that this has a display in the front where you could put a notecard with the year for a family yearbook)

4x6 Album for Family Yearbook - 240 slots ($12.99)

4x6 photo album - I have 2 for all my miscellaneous loose photos (turns out these hold 300...I said they held more on the podcast!)

5x7 photo album

8x10 photo album

      <title>23: Making Space for Things and People We Love with Aubrey High</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/23-Making-Space-for-Things-and-People-We-Love-with-Aubrey-High-e2gukqd</link>
      <description>Can you imagine your family living with your in-laws AND your parents?

Certified Organizer Aubrey High knows and chose this experience, and once you hear her speak, you'll know why it works. It's such a PLEASURE to talk with someone who has such a deep sense of self-awareness, empathy, and intention. 

Aubrey shares with us her family's unique decision to combine homes, what that meant in terms of paring down all of their belongings, and how she's learned to make space not only for people and things, but for her truest Self.

      <title>22: Doom Piles &amp; Mail</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/22-Doom-Piles--Mail-e2gddmg</link>
      <description>Piles are the enemy's favorite weapon. (Is that too dramatic? It is. But let's go with it.)

The enemy: Stress caused by a cluttered, messy home.

Piles are a sneaky weapon because they're the bad guy *undercover.*

Most piles start out with good intention. We think the piles are on our side.

Like items are set aside together: Organization!

We're keeping some of the chaos contained: Control!

...but the next thing we know, the piles reveal their true selves and emerge as the biggest battle yet.

(Okay wow this still feels really dark. I'm reading Iron Flame right now, so my mind is 100% dragon wars. STAY WITH ME.)

Listen, piles happen. We're human.

Whether they're random doom piles of items we didn't feel like dealing with, or mail piles in need of sorting or filing, you CAN ditch the habit.

Today's episode walks you through practical tips, mindset shifts, and routines that will help you DEFEAT THE ENEMY. 

(Lolzz but for real, anyone else reading Fourth Wing or Iron Flame? Isn't Tairn hilarious? NO SPOILERS)

      <title>21: Influencer Culture &amp; Finding Contentment with Yeli Heidecker</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/21-Influencer-Culture--Finding-Contentment-with-Yeli-Heidecker-e2fsq98</link>
      <description>With raw honesty, Yeli Heidecker shares her personal story that led to her decision to fully declutter her home today on the podcast.

This is one of those episodes that will feel deeply relatable. It's so easy to start striving for what our culture calls successful-- the new car, the bigger home-- only to find out that those things don't bring more happiness to our lives.

We also dive into influencer culture, and how Yeli originally felt an internal pressure to keep up with the homes and lifestyles of people she saw on social media. She challenged herself to find contentment in her own life, and everything changed.

This conversation really gets to the root of why we prioritize what we do in life, how we can take responsibility for our perspectives, and what truly matters for the wellbeing of our souls.

      <itunes:subtitle>&lt;p&gt;With raw honesty, Yeli Heidecker shares her personal story that led to her decision to fully declutter her home today on the podcast.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is one of those episodes that will feel deeply relatable. It&amp;#39;s so easy to start striving for what our culture calls successful-- the new car, the bigger home-- only to find out that those things don&amp;#39;t bring more happiness to our lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We also dive into influencer culture, and how Yeli originally felt an internal pressure to keep up with the homes and lifestyles of people she saw on social media. She challenged herself to find contentment in her own life, and everything changed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This conversation really gets to the root of why we prioritize what we do in life, how we can take responsibility for our perspectives, and what truly matters for the wellbeing of our souls.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>20: Kid Stuff: Sentimental, Educational, Practical, &amp; Private</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/20-Kid-Stuff-Sentimental--Educational--Practical---Private-e2fsmn4</link>
      <description>This is your sign to DM me and let me know if there's ever a topic you want me to cover on the podcast! I love it!

Today's episode is a compilation of requests that all revolved around kid stuff in some form or fashion. 

From "What do I do about children's books when they mean so much to me??" to "How do I help declutter my older kids' stuff when I also need to respect their privacy?", I do my best to cover questions that have come directly from YOU!

There's so much to say on kid stuff that I can't possibly cover it in one episode-- so there will be more iterations of Kid Stuff episodes in the future. 

Even if you don't have kids, so many of the ideas within this episode can translate to managing our own stuff or working with our partner on their stuff, so don't shy away!

      <title>19: Decluttering as a Couple with my husband, Aaron Leyko</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/19-Decluttering-as-a-Couple-with-Aaron-Leyko-Paring-Down-Relationships-Miniseries-e2fmbel</link>
      <description>It's about to get REAL, y'all!! My husband, Aaron, is on the show with me today.

Coming at you from my side of the closet, we share things we've done well and things we've learned the hard way when it comes to decluttering as a couple.

Aaron is a natural maximalist when it comes to stuff...he wants to keep ALL of it. (And can tell you exactly why!)

I live on the other side of the spectrum and would honestly be happy to burn it all to the ground.

So we're here to save you some headaches and hopefully a few arguments as you aim to live in a home that doesn't overwhelm you...while still operating as different types of human beings under the same roof.

        <![CDATA[<p>It's about to get REAL, y'all!! My husband, Aaron, is on the show with me today.</p>
<p>Coming at you from my side of the closet, we share things we've done well and things we've learned the hard way when it comes to decluttering as a couple.</p>
<p>Aaron is a natural maximalist when it comes to stuff...he wants to keep ALL of it. (And can tell you exactly why!)</p>
<p>I live on the other side of the spectrum and would honestly be happy to burn it all to the ground.</p>
<p>So we're here to save you some headaches and hopefully a few arguments as you aim to live in a home that doesn't overwhelm you...while still operating as different types of human beings under the same roof.</p>

      <title>18: Seven Things I've Learned About Love </title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/18-Seven-Things-Ive-Learned-About-Love-Paring-Down-Relationships-Miniseries-e2fatcl</link>
      <description>Am I the only one who loves a good love story?

Well, I hope not, because that's what I'm dishing up on the podcast today...sort of.

More like, I'm sharing some love stories gone wrong while I was dating in my 20s. Specifically, my seven most influential relationships before meeting my husband.

SEVEN, SHANNON?! (Clutches pearls.)

That wasn't even all of them. I cast a wide net, okay??

Each of these 7 dudes came with a significant lesson that led me to a deeper understanding of what love is...and what it isn't.

Ultimately, I've pared down what I know to be true about romantic love. 

While I think (and hope!) I'll continue learning about love as my life unfolds, I wanted to share these 7 lessons with you as we enjoy the little miniseries on the podcast called Paring Down Relationships.

      <title>17: When Our Partner Doesn't Want to Declutter with Dr. Tracy Dalgleish </title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/17-When-Our-Partner-Doesnt-Want-to-Declutter-with-Dr--Tracy-Dalgleish-Paring-Down-Relationships-Miniseries-e2em6ec</link>
      <description>This episode is a BIG one!! 

It will be answering the #1 question I get in DMs: What do I do if my partner won't declutter?

Not only will it answer this question, it features the one and only Dr. Tracy Dalgleish, world renowned psychologist and couples therapist. 

Using her 20 years of clinical experience, Tracy walks us through

- how to approach our partner about their stuff

- asking the right questions

- what to do when they get defensive

...and so much more. 

Today's episode kicks off our 3-week mini series, Paring Down Relationships, so Dr. Tracy also sheds light on the *most* important things to focus on in our relationship for longevity and satisfaction. The goal is to pare down what really matters when it comes to the person we love.

      <title>16: Permission to Declutter with Jane Conroy</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/16-Permission-to-Declutter-with-Jane-Conroy-e2elnrr</link>
      <description>Have you ever felt stuck, then heard someone say "It's okay to do what you need to do"... and you feel this big weight lifted from your chest?

Sometimes, all we need is for someone to gently offer us permission to take the step we know we want to take, but our anxiety and guilt paralyze us. 

Whether it's wanting to please our kids, worrying that our loved ones will personalize our choice, or fear of failure, we don't take the first step in our decluttering journey.

Professional organizer, Jane Conroy of Dwell &amp; Bloom Interiors (formerly The Simplified Home) graciously walks us through practical steps of decluttering, as well as reminds us that *it's okay* to let go of items no longer serving us.

      <title>15: Does Minimalism Deprive Our Kids? with Elisabeth Beam</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/15-Does-Minimalism-Deprive-Our-Kids--with-Elisabeth-Beam-e2e5u00</link>
      <description>As parents, we're often concerned that our choices will negatively affect our kids, and decluttering feels like such an "adult" choice. So what does this mean for the kiddos?

Elisabeth from @balancingbeams and I dive into the intersection of decluttering and parenthood, discuss the balanced approaches we take, and work through the misconceptions about what it means to live with less.

If you don't already follow Elisabeth, you're going to want to after this episode! Her decluttering story is so relatable, and she's just a beacon of inspiration and warmth.

      <title>14: Emotions We Feel When Decluttering</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/14-Emotions-We-Feel-When-Decluttering-e2d7fk3</link>
      <description>I was SO inspired after listening to Brene Brown's book, Atlas of the Heart, that I had to do a podcast episode that draws inspiration from the different emotions she defines through her qualitative research.
Because paring down and decluttering is EMOTIONAL! We're proud, we're guilty, we're relieved, we're overwhelmed...we're all the things.
Today, I walk you through some of the top emotions people feel when decluttering or managing their possessions. I hope that by identifying these internal experiences, it offers you the ability to move through them more easily.

        <![CDATA[<p>I was SO inspired after listening to Brene Brown's book, Atlas of the Heart, that I had to do a podcast episode that draws inspiration from the different emotions she defines through her qualitative research.
Because paring down and decluttering is EMOTIONAL! We're proud, we're guilty, we're relieved, we're overwhelmed...we're all the things.
Today, I walk you through some of the top emotions people feel when decluttering or managing their possessions. I hope that by identifying these internal experiences, it offers you the ability to move through them more easily.</p>

      <title>12: Ideas for Simplifying in the New Year</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/12-Ideas-for-Simplifying-in-the-New-Year-e2dgqdr</link>
      <description>It's the last episode of 2023! What is this life??

This week, I walk you through the areas of my life I simplified this year in hopes of giving you a few ideas for what to pare down in the coming year! From books to the social media to paper flyers, I've really become intentional about what's allowed in my physical and mental space. 

Maybe next year I'll actually finish decluttering the garage.

Happy New Year, everyone!!

      <title>11: Where Do Popular Christmas Traditions Come From? with Molly Stillman </title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/11-BONUS-Where-Do-Popular-Christmas-Traditions-Come-From--with-Molly-Stillman-Paring-Down-the-Holidays-Miniseries-e2cqhs4</link>
      <description>For the very last episode in our Paring Down the Holidays miniseries, I'm back on the pod with author, fellow podcast host, and all around dynamite human being, Molly Stillman.

We continue our conversation from Tuesday (go back and listen to Episode 10 if you haven't yet!!) as we dive into different Christmas traditions and where they come from.

What's the history of the Christmas tree? Why do we celebrate on December 25? Who came up with Santa's reindeer?

Molly gives her *controversial* opinion on a major tradition as gently as possible but it's still scary because parents are a sensitive bunch, so have mercy on her, please.

It's been SO fun to pare down all things Christmas, from decor to Jesus. Thanks for coming along for the ride. Next week we'll be picking back up with more straightforward decluttering content!

      <itunes:subtitle>&lt;p&gt;For the very last episode in our Paring Down the Holidays miniseries, I&amp;#39;m back on the pod with author, fellow podcast host, and all around dynamite human being, Molly Stillman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We continue our conversation from Tuesday (go back and listen to Episode 10 if you haven&amp;#39;t yet!!) as we dive into different Christmas traditions and where they come from.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What&amp;#39;s the history of the Christmas tree? Why do we celebrate on December 25? Who came up with Santa&amp;#39;s reindeer?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Molly gives her *controversial* opinion on a major tradition as gently as possible but it&amp;#39;s still scary because parents are a sensitive bunch, so have mercy on her, please.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s been SO fun to pare down all things Christmas, from decor to Jesus. Thanks for coming along for the ride. Next week we&amp;#39;ll be picking back up with more straightforward decluttering content!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>10: Why We Celebrate the Birth of Jesus with Molly Stillman </title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/10-Why-We-Celebrate-the-Birth-of-Jesus-with-Molly-Stillman-Paring-Down-the-Holidays-Miniseries-e2cq347</link>
      <description>Who was Jesus? Does he matter even if you're not a Christian? Why do we celebrate his birth? 

I'm so excited to pare down the meaning of Christmas in this episode with the HILARIOUS, wise, and brilliant Molly Stillman. Molly is an author, podcast host, church planter, farmer, mother, comedian...she's truly dynamic.

This podcast is not just for followers of Jesus, however as we move through this miniseries, Paring Down the Holidays, I can't help but bring forth my own faith as we get intentional about focusing on the true meaning of Christmas. 

This episode is mind blowing, faith-building, and loaded with the GOOD stuff.

      <title>9: Donating Clutter Generously</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/9-SOLO---Leaning-Into-the-Season-of-Giving-Paring-Down-the-Holidays-Miniseries-e2d0js1</link>
      <description>Sometimes I find myself of falling into this trap: 

I want to be generous...I THINK I'm pretty generous...I definitely care about generosity. 

But then my days get filled with soccer practices and career work and hobbies and time with family and school events, and suddenly I realize that while nothing I'm doing is bad-- in fact a lot of it is great (family time!)-- my heart to care for others has become a nice thought instead of an actual part of my life.

We're smack in the middle of the miniseries on the podcast called Paring Down the Holidays. I hope today's episode is anything but pressure-filled, rather instead, it can offer practical and motivating ways we can combine our decluttering journey with the value of giving back. 'Tis the season!

      <itunes:summary>Sometimes I find myself of falling into this trap: 

I want to be generous...I THINK I'm pretty generous...I definitely care about generosity. 

But then my days get filled with soccer practices and career work and hobbies and time with family and school events, and suddenly I realize that while nothing I'm doing is bad-- in fact a lot of it is great (family time!)-- my heart to care for others has become a nice thought instead of an actual part of my life.

We're smack in the middle of the miniseries on the podcast called Paring Down the Holidays. I hope today's episode is anything but pressure-filled, rather instead, it can offer practical and motivating ways we can combine our decluttering journey with the value of giving back. 'Tis the season!

      <title>8: What the Bible Says About Our Stuff with Hanna Seymour</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/8-What-the-Bible-Says-About-Our-Stuff-with-Hanna-Seymour-Paring-Down-the-Holidays-Miniseries-e2b16lb</link>
      <description>We are smack in the middle of the holiday season, which for me, means Christmas! The Paring Down Podcast isn't a podcast only for Christians, however Jesus is a big part of my life, so I wanted to really pare down my beliefs surrounding decluttering and minimalism through the lens of what the Bible has to say about it. What better time of year to dive into this than when we're about to celebrate Jesus' birth?

I'm HONORED to welcome Hanna Seymour as our guest on this topic, because her love for the Word is so evident. She uses her wisdom and knowledge gleaned in seminary to discuss what the scriptures say about living with less and what this can look like for modern believers (no we don't all need to sell everything we own and become monks!). 

Is money all bad? Is stuff inherently evil? Why does it have anything to do with faith? How does the modern church look in comparison to early churches in the Bible?

      <title>7: Making Holiday Decor Meaningful </title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/7-SOLO---Making-Holiday-Decor-Meaningful-Paring-Down-the-Holidays-Miniseries-e2bka60</link>
      <description>Thanksgiving is behind us, so it's officially time to decorate for Christmas! (Let's be honest, most of us already have.) This is a podcast about decluttering, but it's not a podcast about stringent rules or opinions. All of us will land somewhere a little different when it comes to how much holiday decor we'd like to display. The key is intentionality-- what holds meaning to us? What do we want to put the effort into taking down in January? What do we want to store the other 10-11 months out of the year? 

From trees and ornaments to garland and knick knacks, I dive into my own evolution of decorating for the holidays and offer helpful approaches to pare down the clutter with the goal of making room for the *true* magic of the season.

      <title>6: Creating Community in Small Spaces with Britt Meyer</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/6-Creating-Community-in-Small-Spaces-with-Britt-Meyer-e2b648p</link>
      <description>Today on the show, I'm throwing it back to my days in NYC. Ah, to be 23 and frolicking around the city while sharing a tiny 6-floor walk up! My old NYC roommate, Britt Meyer later moved from NYC to Hong Kong, where she was a princess at Hong Kong Disneyland, then landed in London with her husband and three young daughters. 

Spending her adulthood in different major cities around the world means that Britt has learned the art of living in small spaces-- in every stage of life-- and has developed a passion for creating community that grows from close quarters, second-hand sharing, and a heart of contentment.

      <title>5: Decluttering Sentimental Items</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/5-SOLO---Sentimental-Items-e2aiaar</link>
      <description>Ep. 5: Do you struggle to let go of sentimental items? In this episode, I share my experience with decluttering sentimental items after my mother passed away when I was 24 years old. You'll hear some perspective shifts that helped me not hold onto every little thing that reminded me of her. I dive into letting go of baby items for our kids, deciding what *is* special to keep, and a big question that I've learned to ask myself because of what happened one afternoon flipping through old yearbooks.

      <title>4: Forming Our Identity Outside of What We Own with Madison Embrey</title>

      <description>It's one thing to live in a small house-- it's another to live out of two suitcases. Madison Embrey joins the show today, telling us about her life as a stunt performer and dancer on tour for the last 10 straight years. She sheds light on how to step outside of excessive fashion or home decor to create a sense of self that isn't grounded in what we own-- and proves that what we *want* is fundamentally different than what we actually *need*.

        <![CDATA[<p>It's one thing to live in a small house-- it's another to live out of two suitcases. Madison Embrey joins the show today, telling us about her life as a stunt performer and dancer on tour for the last 10 straight years. She sheds light on how to step outside of excessive fashion or home decor to create a sense of self that isn't grounded in what we own-- and proves that what we *want* is fundamentally different than what we actually *need*. </p>

      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/1-Mistakes-We-Make-When-Decluttering-with-Matlin-Pessarra-e2b3oua</link>
      <description>Decluttering our homes to avoid the mess and overwhelm sounds great *in theory* to most of us...but where in the world do we start?? In the debut episode of Paring Down, Shannon chats with professional organizer Matlin Pessarra, who sheds some light on mistakes people make when trying to organize their homes, as well as insider tips for approaches that actually work.

      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/2-SOLO---My-Decluttering-Story-e2au4i4</link>
      <description>I have NOT always been a minimalist...and many purists probably wouldn't consider me one, even now! The point is that I've been on a journey to owning less for *years*. My decluttering story is a bit different than most in that I never had a big "aha" turning point toward living with less. It's been a slow burn that gained traction over a series of life events that revealed to me how clutter was getting in the way of my peace. When it's hard to get to the washer/dryer because the garage is so full of stuff...HOUSTON, we have a problem!

      <title>3: Avoiding Holiday Clutter with Karla Graves</title>
      <link>https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/paringdown/episodes/3-Avoiding-the-Christmas-Clutter-with-Karla-Graves-e2b3spd</link>
      <description>The holidays are upon us! And that means an influx of stuff, traditions, and events. Oftentimes, we end up just wanting to "get through the holidays" because it's all so overwhelming. 

In this episode, Shannon brings on small-space interior designer Karla Graves to talk about living intentionally with less, and how to prepare our homes, our kids, and our hearts for a less daunting holiday season. 

From what to put in stockings and boundaries surrounding gifts, to resisting the urge to follow every little tradition we see other families doing, this conversation is for anyone who wants the holiday magic without the holiday fuss.

In this episode, Shannon brings on small-space interior designer Karla Graves to talk about living intentionally with less, and how to prepare our homes, our kids, and our hearts for a less daunting holiday season. 

From what to put in stockings and boundaries surrounding gifts, to resisting the urge to follow every little tradition we see other families doing, this conversation is for anyone who wants the holiday magic without the holiday fuss.
