Maximized Minimalist Podcast

Do success stories make you feel like garbage?

Instead of feeling motivated and inspired by others, you become acutely aware of your own shortcomings. Your inner critic blasts you with thoughts like:

• I should be further ahead by now.

• Why haven't I accomplished that yet?

• Maybe I should just give up.

• I stink at this.

In today's episode of The Maximized Minimalist, we talk about this oh-so-relatable thought cycle and I'm sharing actionable steps to help get you back onto the the declutter bandwagon and achieving your dreams.

Oh and here's the deal, if seeing your peers succeed makes you jealous, sad or defeated...

You're not a bad person.

This is a really common experience, especially for ambitious, achieving (and mildly competitive? 😆) folks like you and me.

As long as you're here - you're not behind and it's never too late to create a simpler, more peaceful life.

Beliefs protect us. Beliefs live in our subconscious mind. Beliefs have positive intention.

But at what point do these core beliefs become limiting beliefs and interfere with our goal of a simpler, more peaceful home and life?

In this episode, we dive deep into how our relationship with 'stuff' mirrors our beliefs. Like beliefs, the things we accumulate start with good intentions – comfort, security, memories.

I share a personal story of how I struggled with letting go of certain items, fearing I'd be labeled a "heartless" daughter or a "bad" mom.

These weren't conscious thoughts; they were lurking in my subconscious. That's the tricky part we need to uncover.

This episode will help you identify and change the beliefs that are keeping you stuck in clutter.
