Author: Cloud10 June 26, 2026 Duration: 38:03
Today I am bringing you a guest episode featuring Emily Feldpausch, a parent of three, educator, and author of The Unfollow Effect: Intentional Living in a Digital Age. After a personal experiment with social media revealed just how much technology was shaping her daily life, she became passionate about helping others cultivate healthier, more intentional digital habits. Emily encourages people to protect what matters most—their peace, presence, and relationships—while using technology in ways that align with their values. Today she shares insights on how we can build boundaries for screen time and model better habits and boundaries as parents. Her tips come at a perfect time for any parent wanting to prioritize presence and intentionality around screen time and technology this summer. Learn more about your ad choices.

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.
