What does it mean to live more with less? I'm Katie Wells and welcome to the Maximized Minimalist

podcast. If you found yourself caught up in the hamster wheel of modern day motherhood and want to

rewrite the script, congratulations you're in the right place. I'm here to be your guide and help you take

back your motherhood

and achieve a simpler, more joy-filled life. Cheers to being a maximized minimalist. Enjoy the show.

Well, hey, welcome to the Maximized Minimalist podcast. It's your friend Katie. And today, I'm so excited

to be sharing some of my favorite tips, four tips, with you so that you, too, my friend, can have a simplified, uncluttered home.

So no matter where you are on your simplifying journey, whether you're just getting started halfway in, feeling like you're almost there,

congrats, no matter where you are on your journey. But I want to make sure we're all on the same page.

have 16 that are jamming up your kitchen drawer?

You know what I mean?

Like, let's just do a gut check here.
