Thrive by living with less. Minimalism is more of a way of life than a goal to be reached. We need little reminders to help keep perspective and focus on what’s important to us. The Minimalist Moms podcast helps you aspire toward minimalism and simplify your life and home. Join host, Diane Boden, as she talks to a variety of expert guests covering all things minimalism, intentionality and simple living.

"Feeling good starts with food. When you eat in a way that nourishes your body, you don’t experience cravings and you don’t feel hungry, restricted, or deprived. You feel satisfied and energized. You begin to crave the food that makes you feel good. As you begin to feel better from the inside, your mind becomes clearer. You start to feel hope, and that feeling of hope opens up all kinds of possibilities for your health and your life." - Cara Clark
Joining me today is renowned nutritionist and wellness educator, Cara Clark. From advising A-list celebrities to guiding Olympic athletes, Cara has helped her clients feel better in their bodies by moving away from “dieting” and instead understanding the connection between what we eat and how we feel. In this episode, we dive into various topics such as limiting information consumption, regulating blood sugar, navigating indulgences (while maintaining self-awareness), understanding disordered eating, embracing movement that resonates with you, and much more.

If you've ever wondered whether you have what it takes to homeschool your children, this episode is for you! Joining me today is author, podcaster, and homeschool mom Monica Swanson and she is here to tell you: you can do it. In fact, it can be the most fun, family-unifying, character-building, life-equipping experience you and your children will ever have. “I’ll never say that homeschooling is for everyone,” says Monica. “I do, however, believe that a lot more people would do it—and love it—if they tried it . . . really tried it.”
