In this episode, Chris and Debbie talk with their guest Rose Lounsbury. Rose is an author, speaker, and simplicity coach. She shares her wisdom in this moving and inciteful conversation. We learn that simplicity (minimalism) is about so much more than just decluttering and having fewer possessions. It's more about coming to a place of enoughness from within. Listen in to learn more about:

• why the search for enough externally is a constantly moving target
• how the "feeling of not enough" affects our relationship to our possessions, achievement, approval-seeking, feelings of success, and more
• how Rose made the transition from teacher to entrepreneur
• developing a mindset to overcome fear and uncertainty in entrepreneurship
• her need to simplify her stuff so she didn't have to serve it every evening
• actionable tips for simplifying your household

Notable quotes from this episode:

• "...the journey is the return to believing you are enough."
• "Be the change you wish you see in your house."
• "You need acknowledgment from only one person in your life, and that is yourself."
• "The physical state of our homes reflects the cluttered state in our heads."
