Minimal-ish is a podcast hosted by Desirae Endres about striving to live with less of the things that don't matter, more of what does, and pursuing intention in every area of our everyday lives and motherhood. We'll talk about a realistic version of minimalism, family life, motherhood, work, caring for ourselves, budgeting and intentional finances, and everything in between.

Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood

Today we bring you #2 in our Holiday Replay Series 

Today I talk with one of my favorite people on the internet, Kat Steck, all about simpifying this season and celebrating it according to your own values. We discuss gift giving, putting less pressure on ourselves to do things we don't want to do, making new traditions, less consumerism, frugal traditions, and more.

259: The Yearly Reflection and Goal Setting Episode

I’m so excited to kick off 2025 with having special guest Tyler Moore, also known as “Tidy Dad” on social media, back on the show. Today we are talking about our shared experience of the post-holiday chaos and navigating seasons of life that just feel “cluttered” both physically and mentally. 

﻿I loved this conversation with Tyler and his gentle approach to goal setting or routine “experimenting” in the new year and plotting for moments of joy amidst the chaos. Through these conversations he shares so many practical tips and mindset shifts from his new book, ‘Tidy Up Your Life”.

263: Change Your Relationship with Your Phone with Joey Odom (January Replay)

In this episode, I am honored to sit down and speak with author and speaker Carlos Whittaker to chat about his latest book, Reconnected, and his eye-opening 7-week experiment living in a monk community—completely off screens. We dive deep into what he learned about solitude, slowing down + savoring, being present, and finding true connection (and balance) in a digital world, but also shares so many quick and practical takeaways that he’s implemented since this experiment.

As we kick off a new year filled with resolutions and the pressure to “do it all,” this conversation is such a timely reminder to prioritize intentionality, step away from the noise, and embrace a simpler way of living + connecting with our family.
