Summary
If most of us were honest, I’m sure we’d all admit to impulse shopping from time to time. From a basic perspective, we may assume it’s only a financial problem; however, it’s both a personal and psychological issue, too. The question is: how do we stop the impulse before it happens? Joining me today to answer this question (and more) is founder of the Inspired Budget, Allison Baggerly. She defines impulses spending and addresses the reasons we tend to impulse spend (and (steps for how to stop), plus more that you don’t want to miss!

| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone. Before we dive in, I wanted to let you know that today's episode is a special rear. This is one of the most loved conversations from the archive, and since so many of you are new to the show or may not have heard it the first time around, I wanted to go ahead and bring it back. It's still just as relevant today, and I think you'll get a lot out of it. So let's get to it. |
| 0:33.4 | Hello and welcome to the Minimalist Moms podcast. I'm Diane. I'm a mother of three living in Columbus, Ohio. I'm trying to make room in my life for what matters by getting rid of the |
| 0:37.7 | clutter and living life with purpose. I hope you'll join me on the journey to think more and do |
| 0:42.2 | with less. If most of us were honest, I'm sure we'd all admit to impulse shopping from time to time. |
| 0:49.0 | From a basic perspective, we may assume it's only a financial problem. However, it's both a |
| 0:53.8 | personal and psychological issue, too. |
| 0:56.9 | The question is, how do we stop the impulse before it happens? Joining me today to answer this |
| 1:02.0 | question and more is founder of the inspired budget, Alison Baderly. She defines impulse |
| 1:07.6 | spending and addresses the reasons we tend to impulse spend in steps for how to stop, |
| 1:12.4 | plus much more that you don't want to miss. Wow, that was a mouthful. But before we get into the |
| 1:17.9 | conversation, I wanted to encourage you to leave a rating and review if you haven't done so yet. |
| 1:23.2 | Leaving a rating and review on iTunes is the best way that you can help this podcast continue to succeed and grow. |
| 1:29.3 | And now a quick tip for you, or maybe a word of encouragement as we move into the fall season, the winter season. |
| 1:34.9 | I actually shared this yesterday on Instagram and I said, |
| 1:38.4 | Arrange a toy swap with fellow moms to temporarily trade toys. |
| 1:42.8 | Even their old toys will feel new when they return. |
| 1:46.0 | I think this is a really great idea moving into cooler months because typically this is when |
| 1:50.8 | we're home a little bit more than we would be in the summer. And so it's always nice to have |
| 1:54.6 | new toys that you haven't had to go out and purchase, but also you don't necessarily |
| 1:59.0 | have to keep forever. So my idea was to invite |
| 2:02.7 | friends via Instagram to come over to my house at some point this fall and do this very thing. So I |
| 2:08.5 | highly recommend doing this in your area. It honestly is just a great outreach event for women to |
