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.

Welcome back to the show. It's me, Katie. Today we're going to be talking about expected mess

versus true clutter and why it's important you understand the difference in those two

things but first i've got a very special listener spotlight on miss tay b i think i said that right

who so sweetly took some time out of her busy day to leave me a five-star review on iTunes. Thank you,

by the way. And here is what she said. The tone of her voice is just so soothing. Listening to

her story about why she chose to declutter is sad, but very eye-opening. Life is way too short,

especially nowadays in 2020. We should all see that. If you can find something to help

your life be less stressful, like getting rid of clutter, do it. I'm still in the process and I'm

nowhere near my first goal. But listening to Katie always motivates me every single time.

Thank you, Katie. God bless. To that I say thank you and amen. It has been a wild ride for everyone this

year. And every day, I'm just so grateful when I log into my podcast app and I check to see downloads

and which episodes y'all are loving the most. I can see the downloads continuing to go up and up and up,

and my podcast is growing so much to the point that we're at tens of thousands of women each week and

month who choose intentionally to slow down, listen into the podcast, and use it for motivation

or mindset shifts, or I know a lot of you just turn on my podcast.

Well, you know, so it feels like you're decluttering with a friend.

You know, no matter when or where you listen, I'm just so grateful you do.
