The Practical Minimalists

We are continuing our everyday minimalism series today with our friend Alexis Rethlake. For those of you who love the idea of minimalism but the fact that you have a gaggle of kids that live with you….well this episode is for you. Alexis is the minimalist mom of 5 girls and you guys…she is such a gem. Down to earth, funny, wise, and spiritual, Alexis always teaches me something so when I found out she was a minimalist at heart, we HAD to have her on the show.

Today we are continuing our Everyday Minimalism Series by speaking with our friend Analisa Leaming. Although Analisa's life is anything but "normal" she's only just started dipping her toes into the concept of minimalism this past year. Analisa is a working singer and actress. She is currently starting on Broadway. You heard that right, Broadway where she is currently playing the role of Rosalie in School of Rock. While is she not giving it her all on stage, she is producing and hosting her podcast A Balancing Act, exploring, or hanging out with her husband. We love Analisa, her heart, and her perspective and we think you will too!

Today we are starting a new series called "Everyday Minimalism." One of the big reasons we wanted to start the show in the first place was to take all that we were learning from leaders and voices in the minimalist community to share it. A lot of people don't resonate with minimalism because they thing you have to travel the world in an RV or live in a tiny home. But what we have found that what draws us to minimalism is not the how, but the why. That being said, we thought it would be fun to feature some real conversations with real people who aren't necessarily famous bloggers, authors or speakers about how simplification, minimalism, and intentional living has affected their lives. So today we are chatting with my friend Cara Ellis. Cara is a wife, mom of 2, entrepreneur and lucky charms lover. She is passionate about gluten free living, freedom, organization, health and wellness, talking about the hard stuff, and living your best life. We are so excited to have her on the show today!

Today we are so excited to share our guest Catherine Greer with you Catherine is a writer and blogger living in Australia. She writes novels about power, desire, jealousy and redemption. She writes picture books about optimism, resilience and flow. And she shares about life in her Happiness Blog. We wanted Catherine to come on the show today to talk about kids and flow as well as to share her thoughts on intentional living. We think you're going to love our conversation.

Today have another kid-centered episode around the topic of Flow. After Heather's interview on the Lively Show, the questions started pouring in around how you guys can start implementing the idea of flow and emotional frequency with your kids. While aren't child psychologists, we certainly can and will be open books when it comes to our experiments in all things flow, including our experiments, challenges, and joys in parenting.
