Recovering Shopaholic | Intentional Living | Minimalist Mom

In 2016 our blended family downsized our house by 2,000 finished square feet after living a minimalist lifestyle for a year. Practicing minimalism and slow living has allowed myself and my family to live more intentionally, heal our nervous systems, and be present with one another.

A lot went into the decision to simplify our life and live more intentionally. While living with less clutter was a part of it, the truth is most of the decision came from shifting my mindset during a spiritual awakening.

This channel is dedicated to the real stories and life strategies that have helped me live a soft life with intention and purpose. Without sacrificing fun.
