Summary

This week on Minimalish, I’m joined by Olivia, also known as The Marketplace Mom, for a fun yet practical conversation about one of my favorite topics—decluttering—and how selling on Facebook Marketplace can actually make the process easier (and even rewarding). Olivia shares her own story of starting to sell online, especially kids’ clothes and other family items, and how it’s helped her simplify her home while also connecting with others. She gives us tons of tips for creating effective listings, navigating interactions with buyers, staying safe during porch pickups, and keeping a healthy mindset about the process. We also talk about the joy of secondhand shopping, why it’s worth giving it a try, and how social media has created a supportive community around buying and selling pre-loved items. If you’ve been looking for a little motivation to tackle the clutter and maybe make some extra money in the process, then this episode is definitely for you!

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,

0:20.2

but we're not really

0:21.3

focused on how our version of minimalism looks anyways. We're focused on how it feels. I'm your host,

0:28.3

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. I'm no expert, and I like to think of this as a corner

0:38.7

of the internet where we're learning and growing together. So let's walk towards a more simple

and intentional life. Here's this week's episode. Welcome back to minimalish. Today, we have a topic

that we have not approached on the show before, at least not this thoroughly.

and she has brought us all the tips and tricks, all the encouragement, because I know it can be scary to approach

this or it can feel like it would take up a whole lot of our time to even try to sell our stuff.

1:51.8

But if you are in decluttering mode and you feel like you have a lot of good quality stuff

1:56.7

that other people would want to buy, and even if you don't think other people would buy it,
