| 0:07.7 | podcast. If you found yourself caught up in the hamster wheel of modern day motherhood and want to |
| 0:14.1 | rewrite the script, congratulations you're in the right place. I'm here to be your guide and help you take |
| 0:20.6 | back your motherhood |
| 0:21.6 | and achieve a simpler, more joy-filled life. Cheers to being a maximized minimalist. Enjoy the show. |
| 0:29.4 | Hi, friend. So good to see you today. I just cherish this time with you, truly. We are going to be |
| 0:34.1 | diving into a really hot topic. This is one of the most common questions I get, especially at the beginning of the year, when we have set these incredible goals of simplifying our lives, simplifying our homes, and decluttering. |
| 0:46.8 | If you struggle with consistency, first of all, just know you are not alone. Every human being on the face of the planet, struggles with consistency. |

| 1:32.5 | just struggling with consistency, lack of it. And I realized that it's really hard to be consistent |
| 1:38.9 | when all we focus on is the outcome more than the actual process and what it's going to take to get to that |
| 1:46.1 | outcome. As humans, we are like much more drawn to the positive feelings of this outcome of a |
| 1:52.1 | decluttered home, right? Imagine sitting down on the couch at the end of a day and being able to relax |
