The Practical Minimalists

The long awaited Enneagram episode is here!! We are thrilled to have Leigh Kramer on the show and she's going to walk us through an overview of The Enneagram and show you how you can use it to know yourself and others a little bit better. Leigh is a writer and administrative assistant currently living in Minneapolis with a background in social work. She also has passion for and expertise in the Enneagram and we are thrilled to have her on the show today!

If Minimalism is all about spending your time and resources on the things you most value and letting the rest go, then this takes a lot of self knowledge. This is where things like the Enneagram can really be helpful. There are a lot of personality testing systems but we love the Enneagram because of it's flexibility and accuracy.

This episode is perfect for you if you love the Enneagram and want to gain a more in-debth understanding. You'll also enjoy this episode if you are new to the Enneagram and want to see what all the fuss is about. Either way, we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it!

Today we are talking about something very vulnerable with you guys today and that is the topic of secrets. This topic was inspired by our guest Laura Parrott-Perry who said, "the story that you haven't told could be the one that's running your life." This touched us both on a personal level and got us both thinking about the secrets we keep, how they effect our lives, where they can create mental clutter, and how to let them go.

This episode is perfect for you if you feel burdened with a secret big or small, if you want to hear some true confessions from us, or, if you are curious about how secrets have the power to weigh us down. Enjoy!

Hello wonderful friends! Today we have another TPM BONUS episode for you! Today we are chatting with our friend Casey Wiegand. Casey is a blogger, mama to 4, wife, artist, and essential oil lover. During our conversation she talks about everything from minimalism and miscarriage, to her serious financial struggles which ultimately led to financial freedom. After listening to today's bonus episode, you'll understand that living that blogger life isn't always what it seems, however, Casey's honest, raw and beautiful story is sure to leave you inspired and uplifted.

This episode is perfect for you if you are interested in a behind the scenes look at the life of a successful blogger, want to hear an uplifting story about achieving financial freedom, or simply want to get to know Casey Wiegand a little bit better. Enjoy!

We are back together, just the two of us today! Today we are talking about Comparison, when it can serve us, when it is harmful, how to be happy for other's and tips on how to just do you. As always, we don't have this all figured out, so we'll share our challenges with growing in these areas.

Some of you might consider our guest today unconventional. You might listen to his story and back ground and think, how in the world can I relate to this guy? Well, Eryn and I have always felt like we're a bridge between the "traditional" community and those that are interested in minimalism and intentional living but feel intimidated by living out of a backpack while traveling the world. If you've listed to us long enough, you know that we don't think there's one perfect recipe for minimalism or intentional living….it's going to look different for everyone. However, just because someone IS living out of their backpack and traveling the world doesn't mean they don't have something special to offer the world even if that's not your jam. So that's why we've brought Rob on the show today. What he is doing is VERY unconventional, but we think you will find it interesting, inspiring and hopeful you'll learn something from his story.
