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.


In this episode, we cover:



  • What it means to prioritize sustainable minimalism



  • How our emotions impact our buying behaviors



  • 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



  • Strategies for storing kids’ clothes for future sizes and seasons



  • Pursuing minimalism in your home when your spouse is not on board
