On this episode of The Rising Podcast, Janel dives into her third principle: Simplicity, and why it’s the closest thing I have to a “favorite child” in her RISE framework (Reflection, Intention, Simplicity, Enjoyment). She shares her journey from growing up in a cluttered home to embracing minimalism, how the Minimalists documentary and Joshua Becker inspired her, and the practical steps she has taken to live with less. From resisting impulse buys to creating mindful spaces at home, this episode is a reminder that simplicity isn’t about deprivation—it’s about making room for peace, calm, and what truly matters: people, not things!
