Ep 68: Finding Freedom with Minimalism
What does minimalism mean to you? Does it make you think of stark walls? Do you think it means living with the least amount of stuff possible?
That’s not what minimalism means to me. For me, minimalism means freedom. Freedom to buy less and thus need less money. Freedom to travel more instead of buying a large home. Freedom to change careers instead of owning a fancy car.
Being a wannabe minimalist is someone who lives intentionally, but is not defined by how much or how little they own. A wannabe minimalist is intentional about what they allow into their homes because they know once it’s in, it’s ten times harder to get out.
This episode gives you a peek behind the curtain and the three life changing events that drew me to minimalism. I rarely speak so candidly about how I live my life and what really goes on behind closed doors.
This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will also help you discover:
- How I got into minimalism in the first place
- If my husband was always on board with this idea of living with less
- How minimalism works for our family of three
- What I really think of decluttering toys
- Strategies for decluttering and creating a happy home
