026: The (Inconvenient) Relationship between Clutter + Anxiety

On this episode of the Sustainable Minimalists Podcast we address the connection between clutter and anxiety. We offer strategies that work alongside minimalism to help, too.

 

You’ve purged, donated, decluttered + organized your heart out, but – STILL! – you find yourself stressed + anxious?

You’re not alone.

Minimalism is good for kids; it’s good for parents, too. But minimalism is a Band-Aid for a much larger problem, and that problem is stress + anxiety.

My guest this week is Anna Seewald. She’s a parent educator, speaker, author + podcaster with backgrounds in psychology + education. She’s here to legitimize the connection between clutter + anxiety; she offers not-so-obvious strategies that work ALONGSIDE minimalism in your life and in your homes, too. 

Enjoy!
