Diane and Andryanna share practical, soul-nourishing strategies to help moms enjoy the magic of summer—without losing themselves in the chaos. If you’re craving a season that feels both intentional and joyful, this episode is your permission slip to do less, recover more, and soak up the moments that matter.

EP158: There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather with Linda McGurk

EP158: There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather with Linda McGurk

Pre-Order Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity-----------------------------Have you heard of the line, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes”? In a more straightforward manner it means: go outside. I love and agree with this notion as I try to get myself outside even when temperatures dip under freezing or quickly make me break a sweat due to humidity (which I prefer less than cold). Anyways, a couple of years ago, I stumbled upon the book, There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather: A Scandinavian Mom’s Secrets for Raising Healthy, Resilient, and Confident Kids. It changed my perspective when it came to getting my kids outside. I felt freer, and more accepting of dirt and mud. All of that to say, it’s quite cold in Ohio right now and I was thinking about how important it still is for children to get outside (even for just 15 minutes here and there) so I reached out to author, Linda McGurk to see if she’d join me to share about how we can encourage our children outside each day, the differences in American and Scandinavian parenting, how to manage weather extremes and much more...Show Notes for EP158: There's No Such Thing as Bad WeatherEnjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.

Pre-Order Your Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living & Parenting with Simplicity-----------------------------As a society, we're obsessed with upgrading.

EP152: Simplifying Our Approach to Longevity with Marta Zaraska

EP152: Simplifying Our Approach to Longevity with Marta Zaraska

Today I bring you my conversation with author and journalist, Marta Zaraska. We spoke about longevity and how we can actually apply our minimalist mindset when it comes to pursuing a long, healthy life. It’s Marta’s belief that the very same efforts that rejuvenate our bodies and help us live long also help us grow as people: nurturing relationships, developing better mental habits, becoming kinder, more empathic, more involved in the community. We become so fixated on miracle diets, miracle foods, miracle supplements etc. We skip gluten and invest in exercise gadgets. We swallow vitamins. We obsess about BMI. While healthy nutrition and physical activity are indeed important for health, there are things we all too often sacrifice that have an outsize impact on our centenarian potential. Friendships. Purpose in life. Empathy. Kindness. Volunteering. Science shows that these 'soft' health drivers are often more powerful than diet and exercise. Throughout the episode, we'll dive into more of what Marta has researched in her book.Show Notes for EP152: Simplifying Our Approach to LongevityEnjoy this Podcast?Learning how you can get rid of clutter and live an intentional and purposeful life has never been this simple.
