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

Welcome back to Minimal-ish for another guest episode! This week I'm excited to be sharing my conversation with Myquellyn Smith, also known as The Nester, all about her version of decluttering that she calls "House Hushing." She has a new book about this topic, and I just love her practical tips for decluttering our homes in a less overwhelming way. Listen in as we talk about for decluttering and decorating your home to create a peaceful, beautiful space, involving your family in decluttering, tips for small space storage and decor, and more!

301: Hushing Your Home with Myquellyn Smith (The Nester)

Today's episode is part of a new Minimal-ish Mid-week Replay Series. Now that we've hit 300 episodes, I'm digging into the archives to bring back some of my favorites which I will bring you as an additional episode each week. You'll still get new episodes, but I want to bring my favorites back to the surface, too!

It's that time of year when a shift in the routine is coming for many of us. Diana Rene is my guest today, and we're focusing on systems that can simplify some of the most overwhelming parts of the season, like the influx of paper that comes into our homes or the amount of school lunches we have to pack over the next several months. We also talk about simplifying getting out the door in the morning.

Stay tuned for our new episode later this week where I'll have "The Nester" as my guest talking about hushing our homes!

Stress Less for the Back to School Season (lunches, school papers, and getting out the door) with Diana Rene - Mid-Week Replay #1

Today I'm bringing you an episode unlike our typical episodes here on minimal-ish. For our 300 episode celebration, I wanted to bring you behind the microphone and just share a little more vulnerably about the podcast journey that has spanned the last 8 years. Here's what you'll find:

-The actual journey of the podcast: how it started, name changes, my own creative changes along the way.

-Why minimalism is still meaningful all these years later.

-Three big struggles I've encountered with podcasting.

-Four memorable moments from the past 8 years of podcasting.

This may be my most candid/ most vulnerable chat yet, so I hope you will sit down with your favorite drink (or do your dishes or take a walk or whatever it is you are doing) and enjoy listening in.

Most of all, thank you for being here, whether it is your first episode or you've been listening for years. I'm beyond grateful for you!
