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.

Hey guys, welcome to another episode of The Maximized Minimalist. I'm your host, Katie Wells,

and you guys, I just realized that this is my one-year episode.

Like, right before I hit record, I was like, this is my one-year episode.

I'm just so excited that this is my show's birthday.

And I want to give a huge shout out to you.

Yes, you for tuning in each and every week. When I started this podcast a

year ago, I had no clue what I was doing, except I knew one thing. I wanted to share my passion,

share my stories with other moms out there for simplifying their homes and really your entire

life. So now as I stand here in my closet,

which is where I record my episodes, by the way, it's nice and quiet away from my toddlers.

Tens of thousands of you have listened and supported my podcast and tuned in each and every week.

So huge shout out to you. And I just want you to know that through this really

tough season, we are all in. I see you. I see you working hard. I see you getting dinner and

breakfast and lunch on the table every day. I see you doing the dishes. I see you getting decluttering

sessions in. I see you showing up for your family. I see you crying in the corner when no one's

looking. And I see you because I'm right there with you. I'm doing it too. We are all in this together

six feet apart. But man, ironically, I feel like it's bringing us together, right, as human beings.
