#19: Minimalism in Midlife: Less Stuff, More White Space
Lately, everything has felt like… too much.
Too many activities.
Too many Amazon boxes.
Too many decisions.
Too many tabs open in our brains.
In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Seferian, host of the Sustainable Minimalists and author of Sustainable Minimalism, to talk about what minimalism actually looks like in midlife.
Not the white-wall, aesthetic version.
The nervous system version.
We explore:
• Why our generation struggles with overconsumption
• The pressure to over-gift and over-schedule our kids
• How social media quietly fuels “more”
• What white space does to your energy
• Why your tolerance for chaos drops in your forties
• And how protecting your capacity might be the most radical shift of this phase
Because minimalism in midlife isn’t about decluttering.
It’s about asking:
Why am I carrying so much in the first place?
If you’ve been craving more space — in your home, your calendar, or your brain — this conversation will feel like an exhale.
