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.

264: Disconnecting to Reconnect with Carlos Whittaker

In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on my first monthly experiment in intentional living—focusing on healthier habits. At the start of the year, I was inspired by my conversation with Tyler Moore of Tidy Dad to approach New Year’s goals differently, leading me to start this Monthly Experiments series. Instead of setting rigid resolutions, I’ve been choosing one area of life to focus on each month. For January, that meant tracking simple habits like movement, hydration, and paying attention to what I’m consuming.

I’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and how this experiment has shaped my mindset around actually sticking to my wellness goals. Come along while I chat about progress over perfection, finding joy in small wins, and embracing this healthier living as a form of self-care rather than pressure.

266: Changing Our Shopping Habits (February Replay)

Today I’m bringing you the next Monthly Experiment where I’m reflecting on this past month’s journey to tackle our families budget. Spoiler alert: it did not go as planned. But I’m sharing a lot about how I’ve been reframing my mindset around “failed goals” in this season and reflecting on why it didn’t go well and how we’re moving forward.

I’m also giving a little update on my first monthly experiment and how it’s evolved over the last few months, including an update on my recent diagnosis with PCOS.
