You are listening to episode 17 of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast.

You are listening to the Sustainable Minimalists Podcast, a show about living simply and

sustainably with your family. Here's your host, Stephanie Safarian.

Hello there and welcome back. Today I am so excited to bring you an interview with my friend and minimalist coach Rose Lounsbury.

Rose is, to my knowledge, the only minimalism coach out there, and in our interview today, we get

right into what a minimalism coach is and her trademarked method toward minimalism.

I love her method because it's less about tidying up and more about actually

minimizing your stuff. So we do a deep dive into her method and we hit some

other really important topics too. We discuss my completely unscientific and untested hypothesis regarding the stages of sustainable

minimalism. And Rose gives us her best tips for living harmoniously with a spouse and children who may or may not be on board with your

minimalist goals.

I am so excited to introduce you to Rose Lounsbury, so let's get right into the interview.

Enjoy.

profoundly relatable. What hooked me right from the beginning. it was that you

what hooked me right from the beginning

was that you started with your daily schedule

with three kids before adopting minimalism and And I could definitely relate,

and I think that pretty much any mother

could relate to your back-breaking pace.
