047: 5 (Unexpected!) Benefits of Minimalism

A discussion of the unexpected side effects of adopting a minimalist lifestyle.

Clean home. Mental clarity. Free time.

These are the 3 often-discussed, forever-touted side effects of minimalism. I’m certain you’ve heard them a dozen times (or more!).

Minimalism’s magic transcends your tidy home. Indeed, small decluttering successes translate into BIG changes everywhere else but, sadly, such oversized benefits aren’t always discussed.

We’re bringing 5 such benefits to the surface today.

My guest this week is Rebecca David of Lunamina Fox. She’s on the podcast to explain *exactly why* minimalism is so magical in frank, no-nonsense terms.

Enjoy!

Revisiting The Capsule Wardrobe Conversation

Have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? While capsule wardrobes are often touted as the singular solution to closet overwhelm, many report that they can be restrictive, boring and, frankly, unrealistic in practice.

A minimalist closet is best served by first identifying the outfits needed to live YOUR unique life. On today's show podcaster Lauren Morley shows us how to streamline our wardrobes, say goodbye to clutter, and feel effortlessly put together every day by focusing less on capsules and more on a 20 outfit wardrobe, instead.

 

Here's a preview:

[5:30] Identifying exactly where and why capsule wardrobes fall short

[11:00] Why doesn't buying more clothes solve the problems associated with getting dressed? Conversely, why isn't decluttering the singular solution?

[16:00] Say goodbye to capsule wardrobes and hello to your 20 outfit wardrobe

[20:00] Getting to the root of our cultural reverence for bottomless closets

[28:00] The trend cycle is not your friend, so hop off that bandwagon!
