Hi there and welcome to episode 216. Today we're talking about minimalism, money, and the value of a spending plan. 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 with kids,

positive parenting, family wellness, and decreasing the mental load.

My perspectives are based in my first-hand experience raising 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. Hello and thanks for tuning in.

If this topic today makes you a little bit nervous or uneasy, then that might be a sign you need to hear it the most.

We're talking about minimalism and money and I'm going to share some of the biggest mistakes

that I've made getting started in minimalism over the past few years.

But before we get into that, here is a 60 second word

from the sponsor for this segment, Rebel Girls.

You might be familiar with the best-selling book Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls.

Well, I'm thrilled to share that they also have a podcast.

Rebel Girls is currently in season three.

If you're looking for stories to inspire your little girl or

your little boy to pursue dreams without limits, I highly recommend you check it out.

Right now I feel like many of us are inundated with screen time.

And kids podcasts are a great alternative.

In this show, you're going to hear awesome stories
