066: How a Dry Month Complements Mental Minimalism

Clutter isn't *just* physical stuff. Clutter is old ideas. Clutter is not-so-great habits that don't serve us; clutter is anything that takes us further from our best selves, too. Embarking on a month without alcohol is a powerful way to live a life of intention. Here's how.

Have you ever embarked on a dry month? Would you consider one?

This week we explore the space where minimalism, intentional living + sobriety collide.

My guest this week is blogger Kim Miller. Through the lenses of #winemom + motherhood drinking culture, Kim + I examine the idea that clutter isn’t *just* physical stuff. Clutter is old ideas + habits that don’t serve us. Clutter is anything that takes us out of the moment + away from our best selves, too.

Kim suggests that taking a break from alcohol (or from any habit that isn’t serving you!) is a powerful way to seek a life of intention. Here’s how.
