Hi, this is Deney. I'm the founder of Simple Families. Simple Families is an online community

for parents who are seeking a simpler, more intentional life. In this show, we focus on minimalism

kids, but also rooted in my PhD in child development. So you're going to hear conversations

that are based in research, but more importantly, real life.

Thanks for joining us.
