Ep. 87: Homesteading, Online Business and How to Do Both at the Same Time - Jill Winger

If you are struggling with burnout, feeling overwhelmed by clutter, like your nervous system is failing you, and have no clue how you're supposed to keep up with the business of your life, then you are in the right place.

The Unstuffed Podcast is a minimalist lifestyle centered podcast that focuses largely on what we can do to simplify our life, practice slow living, and declutter all in the name of healing both inside and out. This is a place where minimalism meets self development and the results are fantastic!

Hosted by shopaholic turned minimalist, Renee Benes, Renee will share with you pieces of her minimalist journey and how she used it as a tool for self growth. She and her blended family downsized their house by 2,000 finished square feet, decluttered over half their belongings, and she even went cold turkey on shopping. Her hope? To create the time, money, and space that would help her find herself and her real purpose in this life.

What started as a massive decluttering session turned into a mission of self discovery. Renee will remind you throughout the Unstuffed Podcast that our lives are so much bigger than the stuff we own. She will encourage you to declutter, let go, and slow down all in the name of healing your soul and finding purpose in your life.

By applying minimalist practices to your home, mindset, and even your schedule you can begin to create space for the things that truly matter the most. 

Renee will share vulnerable stories about her real-life struggles and how simplifying and slowing down helped her heal. She'll also open the floor to authors, coaches, and fellow humans who are all in pursuit of living a life that feels a little more aligned.

Need some motivation to go after the big dreams you've always had for your life? You're in the right place.

If slow living, clutter-free, self growth, and nervous system healing are totally your jam, then be sure to tune in to experience a delicious combination of all of these things right here on the Unstuffed Podcast.

Ep. 123: Spoken Words Can Change the World with Emily Montgomery

The idea of walking away from minimalism and the online presence that I have built has been something that has been on my mind for a long time. Today it all came to me in one giant AHA moment...or did it? Here is how I have been taking small, bold, steps toward the calling on my heart and how it all finally caught up with me today. Decluttering and downsizing my life has helped create the space for this kind of change, but I'm realizing letting go of something else is really going to be the key to make my dreams come true...

Ep. 121: I Quit My 6-Figure Job to Find My Purpose with Jean-Francois Lappas

This week I found myself struggling with a bath mat. For real. Even though I wasn't decluttering this particular item, I couldn't help but feel an emotional attachment to it which just reminded me of how painful the decluttering process can truly be. When we start decluttering our house, we can so easily think all we need is the right step by step organization process. The reality is that as we begin to create a clutter free home we just might find ourselves face to face with some hard emotional struggles. If you have a tough time letting go of sentimental items, or feel an emotional attachment to your things, tune in, I think you're gonna want to hear this!

Ep. 120: Heads Up: Decluttering Can Wreck You Emotionally

Life can feel so tough. Whether we are going through a new transition, we've had back to back setbacks, or it just feels like we're not quite living life the way we want to. Today I tossed out any scripts, or game plans for what to say, plopped myself on my bed, and plugged in my mic for a little heart to heart. You know I don't shy away from the hard stuff like grieving, overcoming perfection, parenting, or finding purpose. If you are in the need for a little slow down, heart-to-heart, real talk conversation today, I got you. Just press play.
