Have you ever asked yourself what “enough” really looks like for you?

In this episode, Kelly shares a conversation she recently had with finance writers Emily Batdorf and Cassidy Horton, the podcasters behind The Finance Girlies, who invited her onto their show to talk about minimalism, mindful spending, and how living with less can change the way we think about money.

Together, Kelly, Emily and Cassidy explore the relationship between minimalism and spending, how defining your version of “enough” can help you make more intentional financial decisions, and how easy it can be to spend money on an aspirational version of yourself rather than the life you actually live.

In this conversation, you will learn:

What minimalism looks like in her everyday life

The financial benefits of living with less

How to recognize when you’re spending for yourself versus an
aspirational version of yourself

How social media and comparison can influence what you think
you need

Why spending can sometimes leave us feeling anxious or
uneasy, and how more intentional habits can help create a greater sense of
control

Simple ways to create more space between wanting something
and buying it

Why buying less can help you use less and eventually learn
to need less

Mindful habits Kelly uses to better manage her own spending

How knowing what is enough for you can change the way you
approach money

Be inspired to consider what your version of enough looks like, spend with greater intention, and make financial decisions that better reflect your values, priorities and the life that is true to you.

What does minimalist living really look like in everyday life?

In this episode, Kelly is joined by Diane Boden, host of the ⁠Minimalist Moms Podcast⁠, for a casual and honest conversation about all things minimalist living. Kelly and Diane share many of the same values around living with less and with greater intention, while bringing different perspectives to the conversation: Diane as a minimalist mom and Kelly as a non-mom, for now.

Together, they reflect on when they first embraced minimalism, what they immediately gained by letting go and simplifying, and how the benefits of living with less have continued to evolve through different seasons of life.

You will learn:

How Kelly and Diane personally define minimalist living

What they gained when they first started living with less

Simple habits that help them feel grounded, calm, and clear

The perfectly imperfect side of minimalism and where they
sometimes get it wrong

Morning and evening routines that create more calm

Lessons that have stayed with them from some of their
favourite podcast guests

Their favourite quotes and words of wisdom around living
with less and with greater intention

Kelly and Diane also reflect on why minimalism isn’t about getting everything right. Instead, it can give us greater awareness of what adds value to our lives, what may be creating unnecessary excess, and where we want to direct more of our time, energy, and attention.

Be inspired to embrace imperfect minimalism, live with greater intention, and make more room for what matters most.
