Summary

Today I am so excited to bring a guest from Team Minimal-ish for another minimalism story. Sami is sharing her own “messy middle” story of finding her own version of realistic minimalism for her family and 2 young kids. In this interview, we talk about how pursuing a minimal-ish life has impacted her motherhood journey, what her goals are as she continues forward, and resources + advice she has found helpful along the way.

You're listening to Minimalish, a podcast where we talk about simplifying our stuff, our lives, our motherhood, all in a realistic way so that we can make room for what matters.

0:11.0

We're not here for perfectly tidy homes or seeing how much we can

possibly declutter. We're here for living with less realistically. It's going to

look different for all of us, but we're not really focused on how our version of

minimalism looks anyways.

We're focused on how it feels.

I'm your host Desiree.

I'm a mom to two and on my own journey of living with a little less clutter so I can have more space for an intentional life.

0:35.3

I'm no expert and I like to think of this as a corner of the internet where we're learning

So today's guest is Sammy Townsend. Like I said, she is part of Team Minimalish and we talk about minimalism together very often. So it's really fun to be able to have her on the show to just
