Welcome back to Minimal-ish for another guest episode! This week I'm excited to be sharing my conversation with Myquellyn Smith, also known as The Nester, all about her version of decluttering that she calls "House Hushing." She has a new book about this topic, and I just love her practical tips for decluttering our homes in a less overwhelming way. Listen in as we talk about for decluttering and decorating your home to create a peaceful, beautiful space, involving your family in decluttering, tips for small space storage and decor, and more!

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.
