Join us in welcoming Shannon Leyko to an episode like no episode we’ve aired before! We’re still glowing with new inspiration! Shannon is a podcaster, author, mother of three, proud coast guard wife, and former Miss New York. Most recently, she is the powerhouse behind the Paring Down Podcast: Realistic Minimalism to Live More Intentionally. (Give us more of that, please!)

We cover so much fun territory in this lively sit-down:

- What motivated Shannon to start a podcast + business surrounding this concept of simplification?

- How does time management, time blocking + thoughtful preparation bring PEACE to her schedule + life?

- How does her passion for paring down play into her bookish life—as an avid reader + lover of literature?

- What is Shannon’s book about—and what does she want to write next?

- And what about her days in the pageant elite?!

If you’re anything like us, you’ll leave this conversation with a pep in your step, fresh empowerment, and maybe a trash bag (or two) for the many things no longer serving you!

Find Shannon on Instagram (@paring_down) and wherever you get your podcasts!
