We might have to restrain ourselves from “fan-girling” out a little bit with today’s guest. In all seriousness though we are thrilled to have fellow podcaster Jess Lively on the show today. Jess runs online courses that help people live their best life, she has a wonderful podcast called “The Lively Show” (one of our favorites), and is currently traveling the world indefinitely.
Buckle your seat belts guys, because you are in for a fun and slightly mind-blowing ride with this conversation. We talk about how, in American Culture, we are often taught that "success" equals hustle and struggle. But what if there was another way? And that science backed it up? In part one of this conversation we dig into emotional frequency and what that means, classical personal development vs. quantum living, and climbing the emotional scale. We also use some very personal examples in order to apply these conter-intuitive concepts that Jess speaks about in her newest course, Flow with Intention Online.
This episode is perfect for you if you are tired of struggling and want to hear about another approach to "success", if you get weary of all the talk about hustle in the personal development world and are interested in hearing a completely different approach, or, you are simply a Jess Lively Fan. Enjoy!

We are talking about plateaus today….starting the minimalist journey can be exciting as you start to let go of things. But there can come a time on your journey where you start to like you are moving more slowly and you feel like you are at a plateau. We have received questions from listeners regarding this and have experienced it ourselves so we though we’d take an entire show to dive into the topic of plateaus…we think it’s a worthy topic to dig into because it can apply to any area of growth in your life, minimalism related or not. So whether you are a minimalist or not, if you're feeling stuck in any area of life, this episode is for you.
Today it’s just the two of us and we’re talking Travel. With Spring Break coming up quickly followed by summer, lots of you will be traveling and we’ve gotten many questions from listeners over the last few months about how to travel minimally. So we’re talking all things travel today….we’ll talk about the joy of traveling with less, our favorite travel hacks, and, of course, our challenges along the way.
This episode is perfect for you if you're interested in some manageable and practical tips for traveling lightly OR want to hear some funny stories about our challenges with travel!

She shares weekly stories, DIY tutorials, and unique handmade products in the shop.

The long awaited Enneagram episode is here!! We are thrilled to have Leigh Kramer on the show and she’s going to walk us through an overview of The Enneagram and show you how you can use it to know yourself and others a little bit better. Leigh is a writer and administrative assistant currently living in Minneapolis with a background in social work. She also has passion for and expertise in the Enneagram and we are thrilled to have her on the show today!
If Minimalism is all about spending your time and resources on the things you most value and letting the rest go, then this takes a lot of self knowledge. This is where things like the Enneagram can really be helpful. There are a lot of personality testing systems but we love the Enneagram because of it’s flexibility and accuracy.
This episode is perfect for you if you love the Enneagram and want to gain a more in-debth understanding. You'll also enjoy this episode if you are new to the Enneagram and want to see what all the fuss is about. Either way, we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it!
