5 Things I Quit to Simplify my Life | Late 40s Diaries
In this episode of my Late 40s Diaries (004), I'm sharing the 5 things I quit to simplify my life and take control of my well-being.
As I navigate my grief journey and midlife transitions, I've come to realize that making conscious, intentional choices and developing mindful habits have been key to my growth and empowerment.
By letting go of toxic relationships and adopting a simplicity mindset, I've been able to reinvent myself and cultivate a more intentional way of living.
If you're looking for simplicity hacks and wellness rituals to help you on your own journey to simplify your life, then this video is for you.
Join me as I share my personal story and the lessons I've learned along the way. From adopting minimalist living practices to creating a simpler, more fulfilling life, I'm excited to share my experiences with you.

    I subscribed to your channel today - I enjoyed your videos. I just want to share that I too am going through a grieving period. My husband of 35 years passed away 2 and 1/2 years ago. I was so lost after his death. But one day I decided that I would re-invent myself - still be me but be a different me. I asked myself - what do you want to be known for - a widow or someone who has a fabulous life - I chose the later - and that's what I'm doing. I still cry, nearly every morning when I wake up, but I remind myself that God is in control. I am here for a reason. I think about the lives I have effected in some way over the past 30 months - I have met people that I know for a fact I would have never met had it not been for my husband's death. So I try to live a life of servitude, an intentional life, a healthy life (which means losing weight) and choosing life everyday.
