68 // 4 Steps to STOP the Shopping Habit from Former Shopaholic and Workaholic Turned Minimal-ish Mom Mary Simpson

Decluttering is hard work, but is made even harder if you keep bringing stuff into your home. Mary Simpson worked 50-80 hours a week and used shopping as a reward until a health scare in early 2020 changed her mindset about stuff and using shopping as entertainment. She realized that we only get one shot at this life, and it’s not the stuff that matters. She and her family downsized and got rid of almost 75% of their belongings as they sought a simpler, more intentional life.

On today’s episode Mary is sharing her amazing story, as well as a four-step process to stop the shopping habit so that you can live more intentionally and prevent clutter before it starts!

You can connect with Mary on Instagram where she shares inspirational tips and advice to those seeking a more minimal-ish life.
