Motherhood has a way of forcing clarity, and in this episode, Clytie Tammy sits down with Yolande (@officialyolaund) to talk about how becoming a parent can completely change the way we relate to our stuff, our time and ourselves.
They unpack the emotional weight we attach to possessions, why decluttering can feel harder than it should, and how minimalism is less about having less and more about living with intention. Yolande shares practical ways to consume more mindfully, including capsule wardrobes, Swedish death cleaning, and letting go of the pressure to constantly buy new things.
The conversation also explores fashion through an intentional lens. When it makes sense to invest in quality, how to be budget-conscious without feeling deprived, why sustainability matters, and why rewearing outfits should be normal, not embarrassing.
This episode is about creating space. Space in your wardrobe, your home, and your mind. If you’re craving simplicity, clarity, and a more intentional way of living, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
