We just got back from trying on van life in Florida to celebrate Sophia’s 5th birthday and boy…. did we learn a lot.
I was SO excited for this trip after becoming obsessed with the idea of traveling with a home on wheels.
* I envisioned it.
* I felt it.
* I was open to it not being a fit for us.
* But secretly… I was convinced the trip was going to be perfect.
And before the trip even started… our plans changed
We’ve tuned in (😉) this year and realized we’ve been living the standard American life but prefer a more unconventional one- hence the getting intentional and living life without shoulds (like a talk about here.)
As I processed the internal conflict I share in this episode over the course of two days, toggling between our adventurous van life trip and comfortable hotel stays, I was reminded that maintaining my minimalist lifestyle also includes: decluttering my old narratives.
Somewhere along the way, those stories had stopped being guiding values…and had started becoming rules…. Rigid ones. Heavy ones.
Minimalism isn’t just about owning fewer things.
It’s about releasing the beliefs that weigh down your life just as much as clutter does.
The truth is… choosing the aligned thing *in that moment*… that’s the definition of a minimalist lifestyle. Of one filled with what matters most to you.
It’s not about rejecting one idea over another.It’s about staying honest about what actually supports the life we’re building.
So I wanted to share this aha with you
* how I’m maintaining my minimalism in regards to our lifestyle
* And a few prompts that helped me identify the narratives that needed to be decluttered.
You’ll find those inside↓
Maintaining less, to access more of life’s simple luxuries.
Join us inside the paid tier to unlock thoughtful prompts + candid conversations around: decluttering, financial minimalism, time stewardship and intentional decision making to support the daily rhythms you desire.
