We live in a fast-paced, stuff-driven society. Even if you're not a minimalist, it's impossible to miss.The truth is though that it's easy to get caught up in keeping up with everyone around us, buy into the marketing messages, let life get away from us and forget what's truly important.When we get overwhelmed by it all minimalism can be a lifesaver - especially for busy parents. By decluttering your life and your home, you can not only let go of the stuff, but you'll let go of the stress and overwhelm too. You can stop just going through the motions, find more passion in life, and have more time for the things that matter most to you. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Minimalism gives families so many benefits and this week’s podcast episode covers my top 5. I have seen these benefits in my own life and I hear listeners, readers, and clients list these benefits over and over as well.If decluttering your life and trying out minimalism sounds appealing to you (or if you're even the slightest bit curious), I encourage you to give it a try! You might just find that it saves your sanity and gives you back control, even as a busy mom.This episode of Wannabe Minimalist will also help you discover:5 benefits of minimalism that make life easierWhat minimalism is notWhy minimalism is even more important at this time of yearHow to make minimalism work for youThe surprising way a cluttered home affects moms (and not dads)*********************Links mentioned in this episode (some may be affiliate links):Get more show notes at wannabeclutterfree.com/127Episode 125 - No-Stress Plan for this Holiday SeasonEpisode 126 - Self Care with Suzanne FalterEpisode 110 - Willpower with Jenn TrepeckMy Favorite Capsule Wardrobe EpisodesEpisode 115 - Ethical Capsule Wardrobe with Kristi SoomerEpisode 105 - Love Your Wardrobe Like a Pro Stylist with Kim HancherEpisode 73 - Find Your Signature Style with Jennifer Mackey-MaryEpisode 43 - Secrets About Capsule Wardrobes with Erin FlynnBook: Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century Book about Satisficer vs. MaximizerTidy Home Academy - When you're ready to take your home & life to the next level, Tidy Home Academy will get you there.
