Happy fall everyone! It's September, fall is officially here, whether we like it or not:) This weeks episode is about stopping and noticing the changes and beauty around us. The days get shorter (for many of us) and that affects our bodies. I've learned that good things can come from applying some intentionality to this change.

I have had a capsule wardrobe for 13 years, and I still love it. It makes my everyday so much easier and I take my time finding new pieces. In this episode I share my experiences with number of items, quality, colours and fibers. So lets dive in and talk about our clothes:) Here are a few videos I did about exactly this - loooong ago on my old YouTube channel: My Capsule wardrobe video on youtube...

Doing the detox was really challenging. I'm not going to lie and say it was a walk in the park - but it has given me such a huge payback that I don't ever want to go back to the way things were before. I worry less, I'm less restless. I create more, focus better and sleep better:) My website with recouses: https://hillsidetalks.com/ My Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/2pv8zhyt Podcast...

Today we talk about a topic near and dear to many women.. clothes :) I have lived with a minimal wardrobe since I did Project 333 13 years ago and love it. I share how much clothes I have and I share practical ways you can declutter your own clothes. We wear 20% of our clothes 80% of the time (!). Think about that fact for a minute... and then dive into decluttering your clothes. Have fun! Our vid...

I love decluttering and have enjoyed this practice ever since my initial declutter back in 2011.

Happy decluttering:) Links: Episode 2: Finding Your "Why" (Motivation For Decluttering) Finding Your Why (PDF) My website with recou...

I love simplifying. My phone, my day, my travel speed, my budget.. all of it can have a powerfull impact on the way we live our lives. Simplifying and making conscious choices is great, but can also feel lonely, at times. More often than not, we end up doing things differently than people around us. In this episode, I share different ways my little family have simplified over the past 14 years. I...

I made it though one whole month of my digital detox! This is my update on what I have noticed after staying of all non-essential tech for 30 days. For me that looks like: No youtube, no Netflix (or any other streaming for that matter), no checking the news and no social media for a month. Now most of the restlessness is gone and I am able to just be bored:) I am also enjoying my "high qualit...

This episode means a lot to me! The question "How much is enough?" is such a powerful question to ask ourselves - both in handling our possessions and our life choices. What does it take to satisfy us? How much is house is enough? How many shoes are enough, how much travel is enough?

Busyness, stress and burnout; that feeling when life is just racing along at 100 miles pr minute.  I'm sharing my personal story with burnout, and what we can do about it. We can't avoid being busy or having a lot to do all the time - life can be hectic! But I believe it's so important that we...
