Wanted moneyLOVE your latest episodei think this topic is so important!!!! i so appreciate you talking about phones not being the direction we should want to be going. minimalism is counter cultural and people who live minimally are more likely to understand the harm that their doing. JUST BECAUSE IT’S NORMAL DOESNT MEAN IT’S GOOD!!! amen. thank you.

sianaleanielsenThis Podcast has Changed my LifeI love this podcast and what it has taught me and my family. I have learned so much about living with less!!! And it has benefited my life already so much.
-
aspahr88Such a great podcast!I've loved this podcast for a while now. I love that it talks about all different aspects of life through a minimal-ish view. I especially love the most recent podcast with Krista St Germain, as my sister just lost her husband about a week ago, and we are all navigating this new life together. Thank you for what you do!
-
JamhesterGreat podcastPractical relatable advice!
-
LindseyG85My favorite podcast!The BEST podcast out there on simple, intentional living (and I listen to them all). She takes a practical and grace filled approach to minimalism that is values focused. I learn so much with every episode! Thank you!
-
ChooseLife1Breath of Fresh AirI recently found this podcast and it’s been so helpful for me to really think about what I need. The clutter or always having “stuff” is something that is so prevalent to society right now, and this podcast has helped me realize that having “stuff” is ok but having the right stuff helps with making life easier and focus on what’s important… like spending more time with my family.
-
AnnieKimCGreat podcastI really enjoy listening to this podcast and always come out of it feeling good and having some kind of action step I’m ready to take. That’s is for a realistic, comfy podcast!!
-
lynsaltOne of the best!My absolute favorite podcast about minimalism because it’s actually accessible and realistic. I’m always learning something but mostly it keeps me encouraged to consistently simplify and focus on what’s most important in life. Thank you Desirae!
-
lotusflowerrrrReally good!*chef’s kiss*
-
agarvin10Honest Truth for MomsThe best podcast I binge-listen to. Practical advice, encouragement, and making me feel like I can get my life and home decluttered. Desiree simplifies things so I don’t feel overwhelmed with practical tips and advice.
-
Raani_in_HobbsPerfect for simplifying your life!I’ve finally found the ideal podcast to listen to while downsizing my belongings! I’m not an extreme minimalist, but I want to be able to easily manage what I do have. Desirae is so balanced in her approach that I find going minimal-ish very doable! Just follow this show already! 5 Stars!
-
JGAcollegekidMotivating and instructionalI love putting this podcast on when I clean and need to de-clutter. It gives me hope haha! I love the nonjudgmental attitude of the host and all the guests.
-
sliz95_bookEncouragement and inspiration you’ll keep coming back forOver the years this is the podcast I just keep coming back to for timeless and practical inspiration. It’s not about fads, labels, or other transient pursuits. The discussion here will help you through the real seasons of life and homemaking, offering countless tools for building a simple and intentional life for you and your family in a truly sustainable way.

nf1984girlEncouraging Intentionality not just minimalismI really enjoy this podcast because it isn’t just about minimalism - it’s about intentionality and being purposeful with what we have.
-
SydneeRMSo good!I’m way into minimalism podcasts these days, but this one feels different. It’s realistic and thoughtful and always one of the first ones I listen to when it shows up in my feed.
-
UserM1983My favorite podcastDesirae’s topics are well thought out, intentional and uplifting. Some podcasts leave mothers feeling as if they are not enough or never will be. Minimalish does the opposite and provides guidance and insights into a range of topics relating to healthy, happy and simple living and parenting in a humble and judgment free manner, that recognizes that we are all works in progress. Her podcasts consistently keep me focused on the important things in life, and keep me motivated and inspired to continue working towards personal self-growth. Thank you Desirae so much for the meaningful and helpful work that you do!
-
KSJourneysMy regular dose of intention and inspirationOne of my very favorite podcasts! I have been listening since the first round of Minimal-ish (so glad for the change back to this name :)). Great pace, real content, and I am especially loving the recent episodes for the holidays. I recommend to any friends who ask for podcast recommendations. I look forward to the new episodes each week!

Shana | myidealbalance.comRealistic approach to making your life simplerNot everyone WANTS to be minimal, but everyone needs the concepts Desirae talks about on this podcast. They make life more manageable and enjoyable. This podcast gives a realistic and helpful approach to simplifying your life. I love the variety of topics and guests too.

M. VandeheyThank you!Desirae has a fantastic approach to life and family. Making us all feel like we are doing it right by just being us.

Ice Game ReviewsFor a show that is teaching about minimalismIt sure does take a long time to get to the point of each topic. Too much fluff
-
kaililandLove it!I love all this! Especially because she doesn’t shame or guilt you because motherhood is not linear. Nice voice to listen to also
-
swimbaby98Packing less / everyone has a backpackFirst episode I listened too and I am hooked with this podcast on seriously making my life better! Less is best ❤️packing only what you need and you don’t need 2 outfits for everyday. Just tried this method for 3 days / 2nights hotel/boating 4th of July weekend. Amazing never going back to anything more than a backpack!!
-
Lobsterlver13A must listen to!This is by far my favorite podcast to listen to. I am so happy you chose to go back to the minimalish title as well! The majority of society cannot be complete minimalists anyway so this is such an encouraging way to make this type of thinking seem possible. I love how you bring in different guests to cover a wide range of topics to simplify life. Thank you for all of your content! I truly enjoy all of your episodes. Keep it up!
-
game432543Love this podcast!This is such a refreshing podcast to listen to. The host seems like such a sweetheart and gives solid advice, as do the guests on certain episodes. It always leaves me feeling inspired and up beat.

Jb359876😌I am in the thick of a beautiful and hard time in life with a toddler and a new born. I love listening to Desirae’s podcasts on my night time walks. There have been several that are EXACTLY what I had needed to hear in that moment. I have come away with lots of book recommendations, other podcasts to listen to, and ideas to make my days less hectic and more meaningful. Plus her voice is soothing and real. It’s like listening to a friend. I’m loving these, thank you so much!!
-

BeautifulMinimalMillennialAlrightLost my interest, felt more and more like the same thing over and over, not very minimalist if you ask me.
-
bcortisChanged my lifeAfter my dad passed away, and as a 27yr mother of 2 with anxiety/depression I finally started to prioritize myself and try to refind myself again. I’ve never listened to a podcast before, and happened upon this one. It changed my life and that’s not an exaggeration. Everything she talks about is so relevant and life changing. Living with intention, decluttering has all began my journey. I’m now obsessed with podcasts- but no one has compared to hers. Desiree, I’m so thankful for everything you stand for please know you and your podcast were a huge part of my journey in becoming the best version of myself I thought was impossible.
-
lizm!!!Enjoying your podcastI’m trying to be intentional with all the choices I make. I tell my kids that I’m more than half way through my life so these years really count. I’m 52 and our children are 13,11,6,5,&2. We homeschool and live on in a farm. Life on this farm is not quiet, but the home is full of life and love. And I’m working at being intentional. **Please bring your husband on periodically, I enjoyed your early shows as well. I like to hear the male prospective of things.
-
AnotherDoodlerUplifting & Encouraging!Thank you, Desirae, for your uplifting and inspiring podcasts! Your approach to different topics is always thoughtful and gentle, yet challenges us listeners to grow in our intentionality and passion for what matters in life. I can tell you put your whole heart into your work. Thank you for sharing your life with us!
-
👌😎👙👵👵😁👧👙👙👙👙Great!This little podcast is a hidden gem. I love how she frames minimalism realistically and individually. We are all unique - and that’s ok!!! Her tips can be modified to fit your needs. Big fan.

C&S+3Loving It!This podcast is just what I needed to keep me moving forward on my journey of living with less and becoming more intentional!
