Every Podcast Conversation at Your Fingertips

You ever feel like life is just… too much?

Like, there's always something in the way of really enjoying the moments that matter? Whether it’s the mess in your house, your never-ending to-do list, or that sneaky time-suck we call social media, these things can seriously block us from living our best lives.

In this episode of the Maximized Minimalist podcast, I’m getting real about the “experience blockers” that might be keeping you from fully enjoying life. Imagine your life is like a soccer game (stick with me here!). These blockers are like the other team’s defenders—they’re constantly tripping you up and making it hard to score your goals.

But don’t worry, I’ve got some easy tips to help you clear those blockers, get your life back, and make space for what really matters.

We’ll chat about:

How social media and digital distractions are stealing your time—and how to take it back.
The power of saying “no” and setting boundaries (even when it’s hard).
Why we procrastinate and how to break the cycle.

So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and hit play. Let’s tackle this together and clear some space for the things (and people) you love. You deserve a simpler, more joy-filled life, and it starts right here.

0:00.0	What does it mean to live more with less? I'm Katie Wells and welcome to the Maximized Minimalist
0:07.4	podcast. If you found yourself caught up in the hamster wheel of modern day motherhood and want to
0:13.9	rewrite the script, congratulations you're in the right place. I'm here to be your guide and help you

0:29.3	Hey friend, by popular demand, today's episode is a pseudo part two to last weeks where we
0:35.1	talked about clutter being an experience blocker and why that matters.
0:40.7	So an experience blocker is anything that hinders or prevents us from fully engaging in and
0:47.2	just enjoying life's moments. It's obvious that physical clutter is certainly an experience
0:53.0	blocker. But today I want to break down three other
0:56.3	common ones that are likely hiding in these different areas in your life that we can remove so
1:02.7	you can make space for what matters. And to paint the picture, maybe a little bit clear of an
1:07.9	experience blocker, I want to share this. So I used to play soccer. It's still
1:13.2	one of my favorite sports to watch, to play all the things. If me and my kids have an open
1:18.9	flat field, chances are high we're playing soccer or kicking the soccer ball. So whatever sport you
1:24.7	play or enjoy watching, picture that sport as a analogy, but I'm going to go with soccer.
1:29.5	So imagine your life as a soccer game, okay? And your goal is, of course, is to have fun. It's to win, if you're competitive like me, is to play your best and, you know, score goals or help your team score goals, right? So now think of physical clutter and these other experience blockers
1:45.7	we'll be talking about today as defenders from the opposing team, right? They got the other
1:50.6	color jersey on. You're looking at them. You know, they're looking at you. You're not super pleased
1:56.1	that they're on the field getting in the way of you scoring your goals, right? They're in your way.
2:01.3	They're trying to block your path. They're trying to steal the ball and they're just preventing you from scoring.
2:06.4	They're constantly disrupting your flow. They're tripping you. They're making it darn near.
