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

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, what's up? Welcome to another episode of the Maximized Minimalist. It's me, Katie,

and I am taking a super short break from working on my toy clutter course that's coming out so soon.

I seriously cannot wait to get this in your hands.

But I've been thinking a lot about this, and I recently posted this on my social profile,

and I just gotten so inspired.

I stopped what I was doing and brought my computer and my microphone up to my closet,

which is where I hang out with you guys

and record my podcast. And I'm just going to give you some inspiration today. So I hope that's

okay with you. I wanted to share something with you. This is a big aha moment I had along my

declutter and simplifying journey. And that is this. Just because something once added value

to your life, it doesn't mean you need to hang

on to it forever. And it doesn't mean that the item will always continue to add value to your life.

So I want you to avoid focusing on the potential usefulness of an item so that looks like this.

I used to use this, you know, fill in the

blank, but I don't anymore. You know, I'll just hang on to it just in case. I want you to instead

try to focus on seasons and life change and motherhood change. And with that, also the stuff we use

and what we need. And it's not useful if you're not using it.
