138: Creating a Laundry System that Works with Amy Eilers Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

Laundry is one of those household chores that we can't avoid. It seems to always be waiting for us. How can we fit it into our days without letting it take up too much of our time (but also getting it done?)

Today I'm talking with Amy Eilers, mom of four and home systems and rhythms expert, all about the laundry. We talk about...

creating a system that works,
tips to make folding and getting the clothes put away easier,
how to make your laundry space a little more joyful
getting the kids involve

So many of these tips can be applied to any household chore, so I hope you enjoy today's episode as much as I enjoyed my conversation with Amy!

137: Should I keep or declutter the baby and kid stuff as my family grows out of it? Why I don't regret getting rid of so much baby stuff. Jun 16, 2022

Show notes

A question I've gotten lately as we've recently added to the family? "Do you regret getting rid of so much baby stuff?" or "What should I do with the baby/ kid stuff when I'm not sure when or if we will use it again?"

Today, I'm approaching this question and sharing my why for getting rid of baby stuff a couple of years ago, and why we don't regret it. I'm also sharing some questions to help you make your own decision on this along with some roadblocks that you might have to overcome along the way!

136: Two Distractions that are Keeping You from the Things That Matter with Joshua Becker Jun 09, 2022

Show notes

Today I have Joshua Becker back on the podcast to talk about his newest book, Things that Matter: Overcoming Distraction to Pursue a more Meaningful Life. In his book, Joshua details 8 distractions that keep us from living an intentional life, and today we are talking in depth about two of those distractions. We cover the distraction of fear and the distraction of technology - two distractions I believe so many of us struggle with.

133: Find Purpose Right Where You're At + Getting Past The Grass is Always Greener Mentality (Minimal-ish Replay #4) May 19, 2022

Show notes

Today I'm talking about The Phrase "The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side," and a recent run in I had on this mindset.

Through navigating these feelings in my own life, I realized there were three problems that get us in this mindset.

In today's episode, I present these three problems or "stories we're telling ourselves" and suggest new narratives to replace them and move past this mindset.

We talk about

1. The issue of wanting to run from tough circumstances or conflict

2. Comparison & Contentment

3. "finding" an elusive "calling or purpose" vs. finding purpose right where you're at.

I can't wait to chat with you about this all, friend! I hope you enjoy the episode!
