267: Monthly Experiment #2: Moving Past a Failed Experiment + January Experiment Update and a PCOS Chat

Author: Cloud10 March 7, 2025 Duration: 25:45
Today I’m bringing you the next Monthly Experiment where I’m reflecting on this past month’s journey to tackle our families budget. Spoiler alert: it did not go as planned. But I’m sharing a lot about how I’ve been reframing my mindset around “failed goals” in this season and reflecting on why it didn’t go well and how we’re moving forward. I’m also giving a little update on my first monthly experiment and how it’s evolved over the last few months, including an update on my recent diagnosis with PCOS.  Links from this episode: Ep 266: Monthly Experiment #1: Healthier Habits Desirae on Instagram Minimal-ish Podcast Website Sponsor: Hungryroot: Get 40% off your first box and a free item in every box at hungryroot.com/minimalish with code minimalish.

Hosted by Desirae Endres, Minimal-ish: Minimalism, Intentional Living, Motherhood explores what it means to carve out a purposeful life when your days are full of family, responsibilities, and the constant clutter of modern living. This isn't about stark white walls or counting possessions, but a practical, compassionate conversation for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the noise. Each episode feels like a thoughtful chat with a friend who gets it, tackling the real-world application of minimalist principles within the beautiful chaos of parenting, work, and personal growth. You'll hear honest discussions about managing a household budget with intention, finding moments for self-care without guilt, and redefining what "enough" means for your family. The podcast digs into how these ideas shape our relationships with our kids, our partners, and our own sense of self, moving beyond theory into the lived experience. It’s for those who love the idea of living with less but need a flexible, realistic approach that makes room for sippy cups and sentimental mess. Tune in for a grounded perspective that values progress over perfection, offering actionable ideas and genuine encouragement for your own journey. This is a space where intentional living meets the everyday, acknowledging that a meaningful life is often beautifully minimal-ish.
