Many of us strive to live a more minimal lifestyle in order to simplify our homes and lower our stress, but minimalism can also be good for the world around us!  In this conversation, Stephanie and I discuss what it looks like to become more conscious consumers as we continually minimize our homes.  If you are on a minimalism journey of any kind, this episode will inspire you to contribute to a more sustainable world through minimalist practices.

Shifting our mindsets about the cost of what we buy

Where to start when sourcing quality clothing

Reasons to prioritize natural fibers over synthetic materials

The value of repairing items instead of replacing them

A sustainable minimalist approach to kids’ clothing

Navigating gift giving from friends and family in a positive way
