    **********************

    You’ve heard about capsule wardrobes, but have you ever tried one yourself? Maybe you love clothes and think a capsule wardrobe is too restrictive. Or maybe your life is filled with so many different activities you’d make a super hero’s head spin with all the outfit changes and you have no idea where to start.

    But, the good news is that capsule wardrobes are the opposite of restrictive and in fact give you the freedom to really enjoy everything in your closet. They also help corral the clothing you need for various activities and help you see there are holes in your wardrobe you need to fill.

    Buying more clothes was probably not the advice you expected from a wannabe minimalist. Am I right?

    The truth is that there is no magic number of clothing items we need in our closets, but most of us can and should be living with a lot less.

    My guest on the latest episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show can help you love your closet and love getting dressed everyday. Erin Flynn, co-founder and CEO of cladwell.com give us the personal styling app of our dreams and even coordinates our clothes based on the weather - wherever we are!

    Erin's led Cladwell's growth over the last 4 years and most recently acquired Cladwell with her husband to turn it into an independently owned company. She has gone through top accelerators like 500 Startups and is currently part of Indie.vc's latest investment. She previously founded an influencer marketing startup called Canopi and has also led the launch of E.W Scripps’ first national digital subscription service.

    Erin and her husband Colin are living bigger lives with smaller wardrobes in Cincinnati with 1 super Irish sounding kid (Rooney) and a very formal puggle named Mr. Pug.

    Let’s explore what creating a capsule wardrobe could mean for you and let’s find the joy in your closet.

    This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

    - What a capsule wardrobe really is

    - How to think about creating a capsule wardrobe if you live somewhere with distinct seasons or lots of different lifestyle activities.

    - Why we feel compelled to shop all the time

    - How to overcome consumer habits of clothes shopping and what to do instead

    - The advice about minimalism that changed Erin’s life

    Do you have a hard time finishing what you start?

    No judgment here if the answer is yes! I used to leave projects and tasks unfinished all the time. It made me feel awful, but I just didn’t know how to change it.

    You see, I’m a natural starter. That means I have no problem starting projects, trying new things, or jumping in with both feet. However, I generally tend to lose interest, change focus, or just stop projects with our completing them.

    But, I knew that had to change. Not only did it not feel great and hurt my self esteem, it made me seem like a flake and undependable.

    So, I set out to learn how to become a completer and finish what I started…no matter how difficult.

    These are the 7 tried and true secrets l discover and now I want to help you finish what you start too.

    This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

    • How to finish what you start
    • The secret to why you’ve struggled in the past
    • Why it’s important to finish what you start
    • How finishing what you start will help you declutter your home and life
    • What it means when you don’t finish things

      **********************

      Are you embarrassed or nervous to call yourself a wannabe minimalist? Do you think your family or friends will laugh at you when you tell them you want to declutter your home, get rid of the stuff overwhelming your life, and live with intention?

      My guest on the latest episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show can help you overcome these fears. Kelsey Sholin from delightofmine.com is new on her path toward living with less stuff so that she can enjoy life more.

      As a mom of three very energetic boys, Kelsey has recently discovered the importance of having a simplified home. While she says the process of actually decluttering the stuff is not easy and they’re emotionally attached to some of their possessions, it’s been so worth all the effort to free up space and have less material items demanding their attention all the time.

      That’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

      Your family, friends, and internal spirit are worth your attention and love and are so much more important that all the stuff we have been told we are supposed to care about so don’t let that fear of what other’s will think hold you back any longer.

      Kelsey also has an amazing tip for anyone just starting out. When you are at the bottom of a mountain, it can be daunting to see the giant peak in front of you, but she uses a brilliant and simple mind shift to get over this hurdle. She realized that half will always be greater than zero. So even if the task cannot be fully completed or done perfectly in the moment, she no longer puts it off until later. Instead she completes as much of it as she can because doing something is better than doing nothing.

      If you have ever wondered how to start decluttering or worried about what others might think when you do, this show is for you.

      This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

      • What it’s like to start your minimalism journey with kids
      • Kelsey’s secret to decluttering even if you don’t have enough time
      • Why even small efforts can make a BIG difference
      • How to overcome embarrassment when going after your dreams
      • The best advice about minimalism Kelsey’s ever received

          **********************

          What do you do when life gives you lemons? Well, you could make a sour face and complain, or you could look at the situation for what it is and move forward with lemonade.

          The latter is what my guest, Sarah Baehr of TheBaehrNecessities.com did when she and her husband discovered they were in over their heads thanks to some poor financial decisions early on in their marriage.

          Through a very chaotic year, she discovered that what she was really after was a life of intention. Minimalism and living with less stuff came along as a welcomed byproduct, but wasn’t the first thing Sarah thought she wanted.

          Instead, she discovered the secrets of how to simplify her life amidst chaos and she’s helping us do it too.

          Sarah reminds us that life can be simple when we just take a minute to press the pause button. I know it may not feel possible at times, but if you can remember to breath and think about the end goal of what you really want your life to look like, you too can see through the chaos and get to the other side.

          Big changes are possible and I was thrilled to get to chat with Sarah about her determination to make a change (or 2 or 3) that led to her life of intention on her journey toward minimalism.

          Sarah is a wife, a mom of two girls and their beloved pug, as well as an intentional living coach. She is passionate about helping overwhelmed moms cultivate their homes and lives simply, beautifully, and on purpose.

          After moving twice and having a second child in less than 12 months, she found there was more to life and motherhood than a packed schedule and possessions. Sarah encourages moms to kick clutter and chaos in order to find more joy in motherhood just as she did.

          If you have ever wondered if life could be less chaotic by decluttering, this show is for you.

          This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

          • How to look at your life with a clear lens
          • Sarah’s secret to changing your life right now
          • An amazing tip for keeps kids things decluttered
          • How to incorporate gratitude in daily life for you and your children
          • The best advice about minimalism Sarah’s ever received

            **********************

            Are you tired of looking around your home and seeing piles of stuff, things to finish, and just clutter that you dread going through?

            I get it. I’ve been in your shoes and tried the most popular methods of clearing out the clutter from our home, but there was lots of information that just didn’t fit with our need for things to change fast.

            After all, we’re a busy family. As a mom, I have too much going on in a day to take out everything I own and sort through it, like the Konmari Method says I should. I can’t remove all of my furniture and put it back like an interior designer, a la the Cozy Minimalist method. And especially with COVID looming in the air, I do not want to think about dying, like I need to with Swedish Death Cleaning.

            So I combined the best tactics of these popular methods - and some fringe decluttering ideas - into the 5 simple steps of the QUICK Decluttering Method. These steps work for ANYONE and can be done at your own pace.

            Start small with just one drawer, one shelf, or one room. Or go big and tackle your entire home in a weekend.

            Either way, just follow the steps in order and you will banish clutter from your home quicker than you thought possible. :)

            I am loving the decluttered feeling of our home and so want that for you too. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

            This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

            • What QUICK Decluttering is and how it works
            • Why the QUICK Declutter Method is different from other methods
            • The exact steps to make decluttering quicker than ever
            • How to make sure clutter never returns
            • The best way to start decluttering and why this step is often missed

              Is minimalism or intentional living only limited to your home furnishings and clothes closets? Of course not!

              The beauty of minimalism (and it’s not just a decorating style with stark white walls) is that it can spill into every area of your life if you allow it. Minimalism is living intentionally and being mindful of the things we let into our lives and homes and as today’s guest reminds us, what we put on our bodies.

              I was thrilled to get to chat with Jenny Brereton about clean beauty on the latest episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show because she has such a passion for how to incorporate healthier products into our routines and what clean beauty can do for all of us.

              She reminds us that the beauty industry has very little regulation and unlike a lot of the modern world, the USA has not banned many ingredients that are considered harmful in other countries. We need to be our own advocates and use our money to purchase healthier options for our families. The problem is that it can be difficult to know which products to buy. Thankfully this episode gives you a great place to start.

              Jenny has always had a passion for her health, the environment, and caring for animals. She loves working with women in helping them feel beautiful and confident.

              After learning about the dangers we put on our bodies through our beauty products, it became her mission to educate other women on recognizing the toxins in their products.

              If you have ever considered being more intentional with the beauty products you buy or thought about clean beauty, this show is for you.

              This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

              • What clean beauty means?
              • 10 ingredients you should avoid when purchasing beauty products
              • Better sun care alternatives that won’t harm the ocean but at just as effective against sun damage
              • The #1 Jenny suggests you do to get started when going through your beauty products
              • How to simplify your beauty routine to save time and money everyday

                **********************

                Would your family know what to do and have access to the necessary financial and insurance information if something happened to you? Imagine you were in a car accident or caught COVID-19 and ended up in the hospital for a month. Who would take care of your kids? Who would pay the bills? Who would communicate with the insurance companies? And would they know where to get the information they’d need?

                If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, you need an Emergency Binder for your household.

                With so much uncertainty these days, an Emergency Binder that could help another adult step in and temporarily take over duties of running your home for a short while is a must-have.

                But, what does one put in an Emergency Binder? Where do you keep it? How do you keep it safe? And who should you tell about it.

                All of these questions are answered and laid out in 8 specific sections of a binder. By the end of the show you will have an amazing blue print laid out and be able to DIY your very own Emergency Binder for your family.

                It’s a wonderful way to have peace of mind and know that your family will be okay should you find yourself in an emergency and not able to be there for them physically.

                This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

                • What an Emergency Binder is
                • Why an Emergency Binder is necessary for families
                • The 8 specific sections you need to have in your Emergency Binder
                • How to safeguard your sensitive information
                • Who to tell about your Emergency Binder

                  **********************

                  Tried decluttering before, but didn’t get the results you wanted? That was the exact spot today’s guest found herself in - even after she decluttered over 2000 items. But, don't despair! There’s good news.

                  Instead of giving up, she learned she just had to declutter one more place in her home and then it all changed. She finally started feeling lighter and less stressed. Her home became her haven and she finished decluttering each room.

                  So what made the difference? It all came down to one sentence. Honestly, just a few words made all the difference when it came to clearing out her home to pursue the life she wanted.

                  And you can do it too!

                  In this episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show, I chat with declutterer extraordinaire, Karen Burke, about discovering your purpose, positive mindsets, living a life of adventure, and how a challenge can give you the push you need to change your life. This episode is will help you get past your doubts and realize that the life you envision in your head, may be just around the corner.

                  Karen is a wife, two time boy mom, and former middle school teacher who now works from home as a blogger and course creator. The heart of her work at Slow Motion Mama is to help overwhelmed moms simplify their spaces & style them on a budget. She is dedicated to helping others organize their spaces and find their own unique style so that they can love the home they’re in.

                  If you have struggled with seeing results with decluttering and are about to throw in the towel, or you just want more direction on how to clear out the clutter, this show is for you.

                  This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

                  • How to flip the script when it comes to decluttering. Is it really all about what we take out of our homes?
                  • The ONE sentence Karen asks herself when decluttering anything that changed everything.
                  • Why setting a goal and joining a challenge may be just the thing you need to finally declutter your home.
                  • What Karen suggests you do with expensive items you no longer want that makes it so much easier to let them go.

                    Have you ever heard of a no-gift party and wondered if it was right for you or your family? It seems like no-gift parties are popping up all over the internet these days and the idea can be appealing. I get it. Your home is already overflowing with stuff.

                    But, what is a no-gift party anyway. Well, it’s just as it sounds. It’s a party to celebrate, but you ask the guests to not bring gifts.

                    They can be tempting. You know you already have enough stuff and your kids have enough toys they could outfit a former Toys-R-Us. But, is not getting gifts for your child really the answer to your clutter problem?

                    That’s up to you to decide, but here’s what happened when I had a no-gifts party for my daughter and why I will absolutely never have a no-gifts party again, even as a minimalist mom.

                    And if you are wondering what to do instead, I’ve got you covered with 4 gift giving options that’s sure to please everyone no matter where you are on your minimalism journey.

                    This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will help you discover:

                    • What a no-gifts party is actually like
                    • What guests feel about no-gifts parties
                    • How to decide what kinds of gifts to give your kids for their birthdays or other gift-giving holidays
                    • 4 alternatives options instead of a no-gift party
                    • What I actually gave my daughter for her 7th birthday
