Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally

Do you ever feel bogged down by all the stuff inside your house?

Birthday parties are a great example of how the true power of a “minimalish” life isn’t in less for the sake of less, rather it’s about intentionality.
In this episode, I share how our family personally approaches birthday parties - from why we do them at all, to how many kids are invited, to gifts and goody bags and themes!
Biggest takeaway: Minimalism isn’t the lens through which I view life. It’s a symptom of living intentionally…because inevitably, only the essential will shine. But I don’t look at life as a challenge to do or have the least possible. There’s a difference there, and the former is much more freeing!

60: Decluttering Out of Gratitude with Deanna Yates
We often declutter from a place of frustration with all of the stuff in our homes, but the process is not only more enjoyable - but more sustainable, too - if we approach decluttering out of gratitude.
In this episode, Deanna Yates from the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast shares some of the ways she takes a gratitude-led approach to decluttering. We also talk about how living with less sparks more thankfulness in our hearts.

About Paring Down: Realistic minimalism to live more intentionally
Do you ever feel bogged down by all the stuff inside your house?
Hosted by Shannon Leyko, Paring Down is a podcast aimed at helping you declutter not only your home, but any area of your life that’s overwhelming. Here, we’re having interesting and honest conversations about the physical and mental clutter that drowns out what truly matters to each of us.
The goal is to lean into a realistic version of minimalism— where it’s not a matter of less for the sake of less, but instead is about having the perfect amount to guide us toward a life of deep contentment.
