Many of us strive to live a more minimal lifestyle in order to simplify our homes and lower our stress, but minimalism can also be good for the world around us! In this conversation, Stephanie and I discuss what it looks like to become more conscious consumers as we continually minimize our homes. If you are on a minimalism journey of any kind, this episode will inspire you to contribute to a more sustainable world through minimalist practices.
In this episode, we cover:
What it means to prioritize sustainable minimalism
How our emotions impact our buying behaviors
Shifting our mindsets about the cost of what we buy
Where to start when sourcing quality clothing
Reasons to prioritize natural fibers over synthetic materials
The value of repairing items instead of replacing them
A sustainable minimalist approach to kids’ clothing
Navigating gift giving from friends and family in a positive way
Strategies for storing kids’ clothes for future sizes and seasons
Pursuing minimalism in your home when your spouse is not on board
Avoiding clutter in your holiday decor
How to adjust your mindset so you don’t continue bringing clutter into your home
