How to Love the Home You Have (Not the One You Want)

How to Love the Home You Have (Not the One You Want)

Slow living starts at home. Loving our living spaces saves money, too, because - when we're home + happy - we are less likely to alleviate boredom by purchasing unnecessary items. Here are 10 tips to save money, foster an emotional connection to your home + learn to absolutely love your space, despite its quirks.


How to love your home

Do you love your home? Or is there *something* about your space that sends you running for the hills?

For many, our living spaces provoke anxiety. Maybe the clutter constantly distracts us. Perhaps (seemingly endless) household chores wear us down, slowly but surely.

Or maybe we’re bored at home so we hunt elsewhere for entertainment.

But what almost always happens when we head out? We spend money.

My guest this week is Katie Shaw. Katie *used to* run to Target for external gratification; these days, she’s happy at home. She knows it’s absolutely possible to curate a space that’s relaxing, inviting, stress-free + clean; even better, she’s here to share her successes with us.

No need to shell out big bucks on a total home remodel: On today’s show Katie and I show you how to love the home you have (not the ones in magazines!) in 10 easy steps.

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!
