Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood

Today's episode will motivate you to dig a little deeper and look inside yourself for the root of your money habits. A great way to start this year is to get intentional with your finances - a life changing but tough change to make. I'm honored to have Rachel Cruze as my guest today for this important conversation. We talk about: -"Money Classrooms" and how the way we grew up affects the way we lo...

Today's episode is a little bit different. I think reflection is so important, so as we come to the end of the year, I'm asking questions and guiding you through a reflection on this year, along with encouraging you to set intentional goals based in what truly matters to you.

Today I talk with one of my favorite people on the internet, Kat Steck, all about simpifying this season and celebrating it according to your own values.

Kat just created an extremely affordable course diving deeper into all of this whic...

Today we're talking all about working from home - I give 10 different tips total (okay, really 12 if you count the first 2 that apply across the board), but we break it up into two different sections.

I talk with Ashley Brown of Routine & Things today. We cover what it means to set life giving routines and be kind to yourself in the midst of following through with them.

This is one of my favorite conversat...

A short encouragement today - that you don't always have to strive to be and do all the things. In a season of change and transition, or in any season where you have a lot on your plate - if there's something you're striving for that is overwhelming you, this is an encouragement to table it for now. You don't have to fully let it go - just set it aside til things are less chaotic and you can decid...
