Do you think of a bare house without any decor or character? Do you think strict rules of not being able to buy or own anything? Or do you think of giving away all your possessions to live in a tiny home?

Well, let me tell you that minimalism isn’t any of that. I mean yes it can look like that for some people but the majority of people who choose a minimalist lifestyle do so for this one main reason - to live in a way that is not too overwhelming or beyond their capacity.

Most of us do not live minimally. And it’s not just with the number of things we own. We take on too many projects, say yes to too many invites, and cave to too much marketing. The fact of the matter is that we let our lives control us instead of us controlling our lives.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with my friend Camie Wilke as she shares her journey with minimalism as a work-from-home businesswoman who has plans to grow her family through adoption. She shares what led to her decision to become a minimalist and how she was able to get her sentimental husband on board. She also shares her dreams of continuing her minimal lifestyle when she becomes a mom. I hope our conversation inspires you to explore the idea of minimalism a little further.

Now before we dive into our conversation, I want to know how your daily resets are going. Are you finding the mindset of simple daily resets to be helpful in managing the mess in your home?
