Stress Less for the Back to School Season (lunches, school papers, and getting out the door) with Diana Rene - Mid-Week Replay #1

Author: Cloud10 August 25, 2026 Duration: 49:16
Today's episode is part of a new Minimal-ish Mid-week Replay Series. Now that we've hit 300 episodes, I'm digging into the archives to bring back some of my favorites which I will bring you as an additional episode each week. You'll still get new episodes, but I want to bring my favorites back to the surface, too! It's that time of year when a shift in the routine is coming for many of us. Diana Rene is my guest today, and we're focusing on systems that can simplify some of the most overwhelming parts of the season, like the influx of paper that comes into our homes or the amount of school lunches we have to pack over the next several months. We also talk about simplifying getting out the door in the morning. Stay tuned for our new episode later this week where I'll have "The Nester" as my guest talking about hushing our homes!

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.
