A Minimal-ish Holiday

A Minimal-ish Holiday

The holidays are meant to be about peace, joy, and togetherness … but they often end up steeped in chaos, rush, and overspending.

Not this year! There’s really no better time than right this minute to practice slowing down and getting intentional *before* we say yes to another obligation or hit ‘add to cart’.

On today’s show podcast host Desirae Endres reminds us that the holidays aren’t just for kids; they are for us to enjoy too.

 

Here’s a preview:

[6:30] First things first: We can’t manufacture perfection, and kids make their own magic

[11:00] Are you the behind-the-scenes magic maker? The importance of remembering what YOU love about the season

[23:00] Protect your peace by zeroing in on what’s within your control

[29:00] Focus on contentment, not on comparison! Shining light on the chasm between our idealized (ahem…commercialized) celebrations versus real life

Beyond the Beige

We’ve all seen the images. The stark white rooms, the single designer chair, the perfectly curated capsule wardrobe. We’re told that if we just clear the clutter, we’ll find peace. 

But if we’re not careful, the minimalist aesthetic can become just another thing to buy, another thing to consume. 

On today’s show, Melora Johnson deconstructs the modern minimalist movement so that each of us can move from the clutter-free, beige-everything  minimalist aesthetic to a deeper, more sustainable practice rooted in intentionality.

Here’s a preview: 

[7:30] Feeling that donation high? Here’s why decluttering and donating feels so good in the moment but often fails to stop the cycle of re-accumulation

[11:30] Can authentic minimalism exist in a consumerist culture?

[16:00] Candid thoughts on how and why minimalism has been commercialized

[25:00] How to tell if your minimalism is driving more shopping or actually shrinking your ecological footprint

[28:30] Listen to your whispers!
