Since then she has built an entire community around the idea of "minimal-ish" living, not a perfect aesthetic, not a stark white capsule home, just a real and intentional life with less in the way. In this episode, Desirae gets honest about the postpartum anxiety that made her desperate for a calmer home, what it felt like when her husband said their house no longer looked minimal-ish, and the beautiful shift she had about what this whole journey is actually for. We also dig into how to get your kids involved in decluttering without it turning into a battle, and the single most powerful thing you can do to raise kids who genuinely understand how to let go.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: What "minimal-ish" means and why it has nothing to do with how your home looks The real connection between clutter and mental health Why letting go of stuff is really about letting go of past versions of yourself How to involve your kids in decluttering without forcing it What age kids can meaningfully participate (and when it is okay to just do it yourself) The one thing you can do today that quietly teaches your kids to let goTIMESTAMPS:****************Music: Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com****************We’d love to hear how you’re applying the strategies discussed in this episode.
