171 // Overcome Overwhelm by Reducing Volume, Lowering the Bar, and Redefining Enough - with Shira Gill

When it comes to living a clutter-free, intentional life, we often start with our physical belongings. But being intentional is so much more than stuff and can be applied to every area of our lives.

In Shira Gill’s new book LifeStyled: Your Guide to a More Organized & Intentional Life, she provides a holistic view about how to reduce volume, create systems, and implement habits across a variety of life domains. We talk about how to find freedom in “lowering the bar”, how to silence the voices of comparison and mom guilt, and how she has redefined “enough” in her minimalism journey.

Shira Gill is a globally recognized home organizing expert and bestselling author with a minimalist philosophy. She has inspired thousands of people to clear clutter from their homes and lives, and developed a process and toolkit that applies to anyone, regardless of budget, space, or lifestyle.

She is the author of Minimalista, Organized Living, and LifeStyled, and has been featured in 100+ print and media outlets including Good Morning America, Architectural Digest, Vogue, Real Simple, and The New York Times.

Her popular newsletter has subscribers from all 50 states and 140 countries!
