You guys rock!
I am a stay at home mom and homeschool my two boys 💙💙 your episodes on frugal self care / contentment / minimal living and scheduling have helped me so much on decluttering my life and allow me to have focus on what is most important to me … you give such great practical tips on how to do what I have always wanted to do ! For example I have always wanted to do a gratitude journal but if I want to add something to my life, I realized something has to go- so I deleted social media off my phone .. this has helped me in my goals of contentment because I am not comparing or bombarded with ads and more time for journaling and connecting with friends on a individual basis 🥰 So thank you!!! I am so grateful for this podcast 💕A_j_3_2_1
