Wannabe Minimalist Community - come join my private group filled with amazing people just like you who are on their journey toward minimalism and simplifying ********************** What do you think of when you hear the word minimalist? Do you think of minimalism as a design aesthetic with bare white walls and barely any furniture? Or maybe it makes you think of people who live with only 100 items or less. Or perhaps you equate minimalism with living an intentional or simple life. All three of these definitions is right and that's what makes trying to define minimalism such a tricky task. When I started on this journey of podcasting, it was a way for me to explore decluttering, organizing, and living with less while sharing my experience with you. I’ve been lucky enough to interview some amazing women along the way and as I looked back on past episodes I realized how much I have grown in how I see things and how much my family has grown too. I will not lie...I am very much a work in progress. I too wish I could just snap my fingers and have the messy work done. Self-reflection feels scary and honestly, exhausting. But, it’s all part of the process and as we come to the close of another year, I thought it would be a good time to reflect on 10 beliefs I have about minimalism. This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will also help you discover: Why minimalism is about more than just the stuff in your home How people react when they hear I host a show about minimalism What perfectionism has to do with minimalism The biggest revelation I had in the last year that has to do with our homes and self-care Tips for overcoming the guilt of letting go expensive items ********************** Music: Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com Happy by MBB https://soundcloud.com/mbbofficial  Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/Happy-MBB  Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/g6swHZbWtRc  ********************** Subscribe & Review Are you subscribed to the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast?
