Katie Ping of More Of What Matters Blog shares 5 ways to bring more peace to your busy life.

Episode 210: 5 Ways to Bring More Peace to Your Busy Life by Katie Ping

Katie Ping is a small-town writer, yogi, and mama who values simplicity. She spent decades of her life people-pleasing and drowning in guilt and shame over parts of her that she thought were unworthy. By her late-20s, she found herself passionless and riddled with anxiety – and she knew she needed a change. Instead of creating a multi-layered plan on how to attain more peace, she started small – with a walking meditation practice. Those 15 minutes of strolling in silence down a tree-lined residential street led her to where she is today – facing her fears of imperfection and doing it anyway.

Rachel Jones of Nourishing Minimalism talks about why a minimalist playroom is better for kids

Episode 207: Why a Minimalist Playroom is Better for Kids by Rachel Jones

Rachel started her journey to minimalism in 2008, struggling with depression and horribly embarrassed by the messy state of her home.

Her goal for pursuing minimalism was to find contentment and joy in spending time with family and being able to focus on Christ. What she found was that minimalism wasn't the answer. But it is a tool to use to help you focus on what's important.

Her mission is to help others turn their home into their own personal oasis.

Having found an immense amount of freedom with minimalism, it's her goal to share the methods of simplifying and the tools that she had to rely on (and still does!) to maintain a home that is easy to take care of and a joyful space to live.
