In today's episode, Diane interviews Jenny Albertini, a former global health practitioner turned professional organizer. Jenny shares her journey from working in public health to embracing the KonMari method, a minimalist approach to decluttering that emphasizes joy and usefulness. She discusses the biological, behavioral, and structural factors that contribute to clutter and how understanding these elements can help people manage their spaces more effectively.

About Jenny

Jenny Albertini has been organizing health systems and closets around the world for more than two decades. At 36, she left a high-flying career in international health to train under Marie Kondo and become one of her first certified KonMari MethodTM consultants, where she focused on finding joy within piles of clutter. While putting in thousands of hours of professional organizing Jenny has been featured on PBS, NBC, in the Washington Post, Apartment Therapy and many other media outlets. Recognized for her work fighting the AIDS epidemic while waging war on clutter, she has found a unique way to infuse public health into the professional organizing field. Now, nearly a decade into her career transition, Jenny's first book guides readers through how decluttering mindfully can improve our well-being. She lives in Washington, DC.

On her 33rd birthday, Hannah Brencher felt a nudge to turn off her phone. Reflecting on a year filled with exhaustion, anxiety, and burnout, she questioned whether being fully present in the moment—and being enough—was possible. What began as a single day of unplugging for celebration, connection, and rest, soon evolved into a yearlong challenge: 1,000 hours without screens.

In today's conversation, author, TED Speaker, and entrepreneur Hannah Brencher shares her journey from feeling overwhelmed to finding balance and abundance through just a few tech-free hours each day. With a relatable and practical approach, she shows how setting healthy boundaries with technology is achievable. Are you ready to unplug?

About Kelly |

As a child, I was always intrigued by why people act the way they do. I was and still am an introvert, who was always observing others. My interest in human behaviour led me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Neuroscience followed by a master’s degree in Clinical and Health Psychology.

Over the course of a decade I have distinguished myself as one of Europe’s leading psychology experts, a 3 x best-selling author with hundreds of thousands of books sold, a regular spokesperson in the international media and TV panellist on the topic of authenticity, self-love and personal growth. I’m grateful to work with many well known names in the industry helping them to overcome stress, anxiety and self-doubt by crafting a life that is authentic to them.

Although I’m very proud of the impact my work makes I’m most proud of being a hands-on mom to two amazing girls.

For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week about toxic achievement culture with Jennifer Wallace or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss!

Joining me today is the Vice President of Education and Publishing at Minno (a streaming platform for kids), Jessica Wolstenholm. They discuss how to use screen time to positively engage with children and encourage their faith. Jessica discusses the importance of normalizing faith in children's entertainment and providing them with opportunities to see their faith lived out on screen. She also talks about the 2 to 14 window, which is the critical period for children to make a decision about following Jesus. My hope is that this conversation provides practical tips for incorporating faith into daily routines and cultivating scripture memory in children.

On today's episode, I spoke with Joey Odom, one of the visionaries behind Aro, a tech company with a refreshing mission, helping us disconnect from our phones to truly connect with each other. Joey, a father of two, opens up about the challenges of parenting in the digital age. He shares a poignant and vulnerable story about missing an important moment with his child because he was glued to his phone. This conversation serves as a powerful reminder to reset our habits and prioritize the people who matter most.

About Joey |

When Joey Odom missed his son’s first soccer goal because he was looking at his phone, he had a realization: his phone was getting in the way of his best intentions as a Dad and husband. Since then, he has been on a journey to change his relationship with his phone so that he can change his most important relationships in life. He and friend, fellow Dad, and co-founder, Heath Wilson (co-founder of eVestment, a NASDAQ company), started Aro to help create a new generation of intentional families. Since launching in October 2022, Aro has been adopted by thousands of families across the country, helping parents model healthy habits for their kids, be more present with their families, and set their kids up for success with technology.

Choosing to be a stay-at-home mom often entails significant sacrifices, particularly when it means transitioning to a single-income household. For some, this decision aligns with long-standing plans and financial preparations. For others, it may come unexpectedly, driven by a deep desire for more time with their children, prompting a search for ways to supplement lost income. Regardless of where one stands on this spectrum, today my guest, Jenna Griffith (host of the Joy-Filled podcast) and I aim to share ideas on generating income from home without the need to develop a personal brand, pursue influencer status, or engage in social selling. These alternatives offer viable paths beyond the commonly touted options, providing flexibility and financial independence suited to varying family needs and preferences.

About Jenna |

Jenna Griffith is a lifelong Jesus follower, mom of three, and host of a chart-topping Christian motherhood podcast. Jenna is passionate about helping moms experience joy in every season of motherhood and life, because she knows how it feels to live without it. After walking through postpartum depression and anxiety, and feeling as though she was the only one experiencing the struggles she faced, Jenna was determined to come alongside other moms in the same season as her and remind them of two things: they’re never alone, and there is always joy. And with that, The Joy Filled Podcast was born.

Through weekly episodes filled with Gospel centered encouragement and teaching, Jenna helps thousands of women in every season strengthen their relationship with Christ so they can experience the purpose, confidence, and joy that is only found in Him; making them equipped for whatever comes their way in the hard and holy work of motherhood.

A lot of my current listeners may have missed this previous episode with guest, Luke Burgis (and even if you did hear the original, it’s a great one to re-listen to as you understand how mimetic desire may appear in your life!) Once you learn about mimetic desire, you realize how much it has impacted your life, how much it is all around us and how to begin to set yourself apart... Mimetic desire — the act of desiring simply what others desire – imitating what others want instead of developing our own intentional, conscious wanting – is powerful in our development, our world and in our everyday lives. Today’s guest, author Luke Burgis, shares his expertise about this concept, how society influences mimetic desire, how we can determine what we truly desire, the impact we can have on the desires of those around us and more! ------------------------------- Links Discussed in This Episode Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity Resource: Motivational Code Connect with Luke: Website Instagram Substack Book: Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire Episode Sponsors | The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors.

Are you looking to make changes or improvements in your health? There may be areas in your life that you don't even realize contribute to feeling groggy or 'off' when it comes to your holistic wellbeing. It is my hope that this conversation with double board-certified physician, Shanika Esparaz, will provide clarity and answers. We dive into the importance of holistic treatment and lifestyle medicine, focusing on six pillars: whole food nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, positive social connection, stress management, and avoidance of risky behaviors. Even if you're familiar with the affect of these six pillars on your life, I guarantee you'll walk away from this episode with one piece of advice you've yet to implement!

"Feeling good starts with food. When you eat in a way that nourishes your body, you don’t experience cravings and you don’t feel hungry, restricted, or deprived. You feel satisfied and energized. You begin to crave the food that makes you feel good. As you begin to feel better from the inside, your mind becomes clearer. You start to feel hope, and that feeling of hope opens up all kinds of possibilities for your health and your life." - Cara Clark

Joining me today is renowned nutritionist and wellness educator, Cara Clark. From advising A-list celebrities to guiding Olympic athletes, Cara has helped her clients feel better in their bodies by moving away from “dieting” and instead understanding the connection between what we eat and how we feel. In this episode, we dive into various topics such as limiting information consumption, regulating blood sugar, navigating indulgences (while maintaining self-awareness), understanding disordered eating, embracing movement that resonates with you, and much more.

Joining me today for her second appearance on the show is author Maggie Smith. Maggie joined me back in November to discuss her book, You Could Make This Place Beautiful, which I'll be sure to include in the show notes. But today she's here to talk about her newest children's book, My Thoughts Have Wings.

She wrote this children's book in hopes that kids could rewire their thoughts and develop positive thinking habits at bedtime. So today we're going to discuss the inspiration behind her book, the importance of bedtime rituals and strategies for managing stress and negative thoughts. Maggie also shares from her positivity in daily life.

I'm not the 'crunchiest' person but I aspire to add more of a 'crunchy' touch to my life so I was thrilled to speak with Emily Morrow, creator of the hilarious Instagram account, Really Very Crunchy. Emily has garnered over two billion views and over two million followers in two years with comedy sketches about the stereotypical “crunchy” moms. Her mission? To relieve pressure from being the perfect mom and bring lightheartedness to the serious issue of toxic products, and well, people. In today's conversation we discuss: simple swaps for a crunchier lifestyle, financial considerations, balancing crunchy choices with non-crunchy ones, navigating family relationships as crunchy moms, and more...

The set up of today’s conversation is slightly different than previous episodes. Alissa has been a previous guest on the podcast so we just jumped right into our topic: the struggle of infertility and the emotional process of letting go of baby items. In our conversation, Alissa discusses the mindset shift from holding onto hope to embracing gratitude for what she already has. She also emphasizes the importance of not feeling alone in this journey and encourages listeners to consider decluttering as a positive step forward. Many of you have reached out asking how to declutter those items you just can’t let go of - specifically baby items - and my hope is that this conversation provides some answers for you - even if your only takeaway is more confidently knowing that you aren’t alone.

A lot of my current listeners may have missed this previous episode with guest, Tanya Dalton (and even if you did hear the original, it’s a great one to re-listen to as you discover the joy of missing out in your own life!) This episode is full of reminders for how we can gracefully say "no" (and to use it as a full sentence), quick tips to establish more JOMO in our day-to-day and more...

This week, I speak with author, Tanya Dalton. Tanya Dalton is a productivity expert, writer, speaker and founder of inkWELL Press Productivity Co, a company centered around productivity tools and training. Her first book, The Joy of Missing Out, will release October 1st. In her highly anticipated first book, Dalton inspires women to reject the pressure to do more, be more, and achieve more. She shows them how to focus on what's important to them and then helps them develop their own unique productivity systems. Today, we will speak to the themes in her book and discuss why it's so important for each of us to discover JOMO for ourselves!

For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week with Renee Benes or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss!

"It might be ugly, but that closer look allows us to recognize and name our challenges, and that is the first step towards freedom."

Most of us struggle to admit we have limitations, let alone actually rejoicing in them; however, my guest today, author, Sara Hagerty has learned how to better recognize (and accept) her boundaries and limitations. In today's conversation, we explore how idealism, while often celebrated, can impede personal growth, fostering dissatisfaction and burnout. We also discuss how grieving the loss of certain expectations and embracing our limits can ultimately lead to greater contentment and peace.

I'm delighted to be joined by the host of the Mamahood podcast, Maren Droubay. On this episode, Maren graciously shares some personal experiences that have profoundly shaped her appreciation for motherhood. It's often overlooked just how fortunate we are to be mothers. Yet, when the prospect of being a mom is nearly taken away, we gain a profound understanding of its value. In this episode, we'll delve into what motherhood signifies to both of us and explore the ways in which we actively embrace and cherish the role of motherhood in our daily lives.

This week, I bring you my interview with Laurie Palau from Simply B Organized. Laurie Palau. Laurie will give us some insight as to how she has created this community but we’ll specifically be discussing organization with children. We may have the highest hopes for getting our homes organized but then we must deal with the clutter that derives from our kiddos. How do we encourage our kids without coming across as a nag? How do we set boundaries as our kids age? How do we implement new rules with our older, high school aged children? Laurie will answer all of these questions and more in our interview today!

We Discuss:

• When to begin to implement organizational strategies for our children.
• How to remain motivating rather than nagging our children.
• Best strategies for encouraging:
• Adolescent children
• Middle school children
• High school children
• Implementing new 'rules' for teenagers that are already established in 'their ways'
• Setting appropriate boundaries that encourage independence but still allow adult control.

As we approach the new year, I wanted to replay one of my favorite episodes from 2019. A lot of my current listeners may have missed this one (and even if you did hear the original, it’s a great one to re-listen to over the next couple of weeks as we begin setting intentions for the new year). This episode is full of reminders for how we can implement new, simple rhythms to combat stress/anxiety or to simply start better habits.

-----------------------------------

This week, I speak with author and national speaker, Rebekah Lyons. An old soul with a contemporary, honest voice, Rebekah reveals her own battles to overcome anxiety and depression—and invites others to discover and boldly pursue their purpose. Her work has been featured on Good Morning America, CNN, Huffington Post, Publisher’s Weekly, and more. Today, she is here to speak about her most recent book, Rhythms of Renewal. We discuss the importance of rest, stepping away from technology, and creating rhythms in our day-to-day which ultimately help to renew our body and soul.

TAKEAWAYS

• The importance of regular rest and rhythms
• Anxiety + stress: Is there an end in sight?
• Practical steps/changes one could make to start to overcome stress and anxiety

After losing her husband to a drunk driver in 2016, Krista St-Germain's life was forever altered. More than 5 years later, Krista now serves a network of over 18K widows while being a mom, grief expert, and host of the Widowed Moms Podcast. 

In this interview, Krista St-Germain shares her personal journey as a widowed mom and how she helps others navigate grief. She discusses the process of going through possessions and belongings after the loss of a loved one and offers advice on making decisions without regret. Krista emphasizes the importance of allowing all emotions and finding happiness again. She also highlights the benefits of coaching and the power of community support.

TAKEAWAYS

• Grief is a complex process that involves a range of emotions, and it is important to allow oneself to experience and process these emotions.
• When going through the belongings of a loved one who has passed away, it is helpful to start with less emotionally charged items and take it at a pace that feels manageable.
• There is no right or wrong way to grieve or make decisions about possessions. It is important to be kind to oneself and not worry about what others may think.
• Supporting someone who is grieving involves being present, listening without judgment, and offering practical help and acts of service.
• It is important to have conversations about difficult topics and provide support for those going through grief.

Countless people are struggling with anxiety, angst, and stress, or at the very least, they know someone who is. Despite the advancements in safety, communication, and technology, people are lonely, exhausted, and angry. No matter how anxiety shows up—from the slightest headache to a paralyzing panic attack—you want it gone. The reassuring news is that anxiety doesn't have the final say. Today, I am joined by best-selling author, mental health expert, and podcaster, Dr. John Delony, who will provide practical steps for how to navigate longterm change.

"What now? I am out with lanterns, looking for myself. But here’s the thing about carrying light with you: No matter where you go, and no matter what you find—or don’t find—you change the darkness just by entering it. You clear a path through it....

A quote from Emily Dickinson that begins the lovely new memoir of poet, Maggie Smith. I picked up her book on vacation over the summer and finished within a couple of days. What some are calling a 'divorce memoir' actually discredits the profound truths of self-discovery in life's second chapter.

Join me for a bonus discussion with Maggie Smith as she explores: "the power of learning to come home to yourself."

Joining me for her third appearance on the show is the voice behind the popular 1000 Hours Outside movement, Ginny Yurich. Our conversation focuses a lot on the evolution of getting our children outside as they continue to grow. I’m starting to notice that a lot of the women with older children in my life are struggling to get their older children motivated to get outdoors so Ginny has some great answers for this, plus tips for working moms to get the 1000 hours outside (is that number arbitrary??)
