A personal podcast about Simple Living, Decluttering, Digital Minimalism, Motivation, Sustainability and so much more. Posting a new episode every Monday.
I hope to be an encouragement for you to start your week off great - and I hope to be coming to you during commuting, cleaning, cooking, crafting, etc.
I’m a wife, a mother, a former youtuber and blogger, and born curious. When I see a problem I can't help myself.. I want to find a solution.
So let's look into some of the lifestyle issues most of us face every day. Let's learn together.
I believe in God and my faith is a big part of this. He’s our mentor and turns out he has some pretty solid insights into our lifestyle issues :)

Mar 900:12:20Tap to summarizeThis week I dive into my own experience with practicing gratitude and share why it's one of the most powerful things we can practice. When we choose to focus on the good things in our lifestyle, our brains get trained to see the positives more quickly. It is not a quick miracle cure, it is the slow and gentle practice, everyday over a period that will get you results. Luckily it doesn't require much time or energy and is super easy and convenient to fit into a normal day.
