Description

If staunch minimalism feels too extreme, but you want to declutter your house to alleviate some stress, this is the podcast for you. Shannon Leyko's style is like having your best friend in your ear, helping you get past those tough mental roadblocks that are keeping you from decluttering the things you don't need. From New York Times bestselling authors to everyday people in the trenches of life, Shannon's guests give practical tips and mindset advice for intentional living and self-improvement. Listen to Paring Down if you've ever asked yourself... Where do I start decluttering my house? Where do I start decluttering when overwhelmed? How do I declutter if I have ADHD? What if I end up needing something I decluttered? How can I stop shopping my shopping addiction? How do I stop being stressed? How do I keep my house clean? How do I tidy my room? How do I get my husband or wife to declutter? How many toys should a child have? How can I save money? What is minimalism? How can I be a minimalist with kids? What should I declutter first? How can I be a conscious consumer? Find more of Shannon's work: Instagram: @paring_down Substack: https://shannonleyko.substack.com/ Newsletter: The L.E.S.S.
