Episode 3819: Farnoosh Brock recounts the unexpected journey that led her from overwhelm to clarity as she stumbled into minimalism during a chaotic garage clean-up. Her story reveals how letting go of excess physical clutter can uncover deeper emotional truths, and open the door to a more intentional, fulfilling life. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.becomingminimalist.com/falling-into-minimalism/ Quotes to ponder: "Minimalism is the intentional promotion of the things we most value and the removal of anything that distracts us from them."
