Let’s Choose Less: Simplifying Life with Young Kids | Jenna Michael (EP389)

Joining me today is Jenna Michael, a stay-at-home mom of four and author of Let’s Choose Less. In our conversation, Jenna shares practical ways young families can quiet the noise, manage clutter, and create more breathing room in their days. From toy overwhelm to overbooked schedules, she offers simple, doable strategies that help parents focus on what truly matters. Rooted in her own experience of raising four children, Jenna’s approach is both realistic and encouraging. She reminds us that simplifying isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating a home that supports your family’s values and well-being.
