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, welcome back to the show. I'm your host, Katie Wells, and thank you for tuning in and

This is just one reason I love her. She's on board with living an intentional life through

minimalism and financial freedom, both of which she incorporates into her daily life.

just by downsizing, budgeting, and changing habits. And so we'll be diving into her debt-free

information today, but also simple habits and strategies to help us save money along the

way. And honestly, today, I think, you know, our conversation will help maybe shift your

perspective on taking this experience that we're all going through right now and making an

opportunity to either change the way we handle our money or save or budget, et cetera. So let's dive in.

Sammy, so happy to have you on the show today. Welcome, welcome, fellow podcaster, fellow minimalist.

I feel like we have so much in common. We do. And, you know, it's funny, Sammy, for everyone

listening, she lives in Texas. My husband and I,
