Hello, hello, and welcome back to The Tiffany Han Show, y'all.

I am so excited for this week's interview.

I am talking with Christine Platt. You might know her from Instagram as the Afro Minimalist.

Christine is, I think, revolutionizing what minimalism is. And her new book, The Afro Minimalist Guide to Living with Less, is really

like a re-envisioning a minimalism that focuses on authenticity over aesthetics. I love the idea of

minimalism, but I also, in a lot of ways, don't know that it's for me. And the conversation that I

had with Christine turned me into a minimalist. I am not fully there yet. You'll hear us talk about

why it takes time to get there. And her new book does walk you through in a way the surprising

practice of becoming a minimalist on your own terms.

It's not like you have to literally get rid of everything you own and then go to the container

store and buy all the beige things, which sometimes it can feel that way.

It really, Christine, is such a breath of fresh air, and I loved

our conversation so much. We talk about in this conversation, why minimalism is so hard,

why do we have so much stuff? Like I said before, her different way of approaching what we

want to get rid of and how to

settle in and be patient with ourselves as we think about letting go of what no longer serves us.

And that's both in terms of stuff and all the other habits.
