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.

Hey friend, welcome back. I'm so happy to be hanging out with you today. It's January, and my guess is

you've been hearing a lot about setting and reaching goals and

ways to make 2022 your best year yet.

And this got me thinking.

I frequently ask my students why they want an unc cluttered home, which is a absolute

worthwhile goal.

And the answer is usually something like this. I want more peace,

connection, and calm in my day. They say, Katie, I want to focus on the people, my family,

inside my home instead of all the stuff. Or they say something like, I want less stress,

less burden and anxiety. And I just want to feel more content,

and I want to just be happy. And what do all of these incredible reasons boil down to, friends?

One simple word, love, love for our family, love for ourselves, love for our values, love for our

mission in life, love for our faith or

spirituality. And that, my friend, is such a beautiful thing. See, when we're able to remove the

physical clutter and shift our environment, there's also a shift that happens within you and me,

within our minds, within our hearts and our souls. And sometimes it's

this shift. That's exactly what we need to find the courage. Courage to make real change.
