140: Accidental Minimalism (Replay)


Listen Later

Ever wonder why empty spaces feel so uncomfortable? 

In this candid episode, Diana shares how she accidentally became a minimalist when moving across country, fitting everything she owned into a tiny Saturn Ion. 

But within months of landing her first Colorado paycheck, she found herself bizarrely uncomfortable with the emptiness, buying things she didn't need just to fill space - and how quickly clutter crept back into her life.

In this episode, Diana shared:

  • The surprising emotional discomfort of empty spaces and why we feel compelled to fill them
  • How Diana went from minimalist by necessity to drowning in stuff in just 18 months
  • Practical questions to ask yourself when you feel that urge to fill empty spaces
  • Why developing contentment might be the real solution to clutter

If you've ever looked around your home wondering "where did all this STUFF come from?" - this episode is your permission slip to challenge the belief that empty spaces need filling.
