If you're new here, welcome! I'm Madi, I'm passionate about helping women live life that's truly life, not just life as everyone says it should be. I love creating videos about minimalism and slow living and upload them often enough. 💫
In my videos you will see my minimalist home, my capsule wardrobe, decluttering, inspiration for slow living with kids, intentional living, minimalist finances, things I no longer buy, things I no longer own, things I buy more of as a minimalist, and just overall my passion and inspiration for simple living!

What topic do you want me to dive deeper on in a future video?
Hi Madisun, any advice on how mama's who are working to create routine and simplify our lives but can't quit our jobs in our current season?
I would love for you to make a video on your hypothyroidism I remember you mentioned it in another video but then in this one you talk about hair loss and all that. I have Hashimotos and would love to hear how you helped heal that.
@@Gabrielle.Steele sure! i would definitely pick up In the Flo, that book really is a great starting place!
I would love to see a comparison video of what your life was like before you changed to minimalism? I think it would be neat to see the contrast, and show others how much the changes have impacted your life.
Maybe it's just me, but I would looove to hear more practical tips on how to read the bible/ do your devotions as a mother. Thanks ❤
When I was fairly young I used to complain about my husband to my friend group. One day it struck me how messed up that was and I started bragging about him and praising him instead. I swear it completely changed my marriage. Because it changed the way I talked and thought about him. We’ll celebrate our 30th anniversary this year and I still brag about him. I absolutely believe that change is one big reason why I adore him so much. ❤
1. Be out of the loop regarding cultural events.
2. Go to bed early.
3. Keep clean toilets and bathroom sink area.
4. Quit alcohol or anything that doesn’t serve you.
5. Don’t speak negatively about men.
6. Don’t have TV/ streaming noise on. Choose peace, solitude, quiet, stillness.
7. Don’t buy stuff just because it’s on sale.
8. Spend time in nature. Our bodies need light and fresh air.
9. Consider not working for someone else.
10. Quit putting myself down.
Thank you
For anyone trying to quit self-deprecating humor, try using self-aggrandizing humor instead. Things like “I am the epitome of grace and elegance” after you’ve just dropped something or tripped. I find it makes me feel less awkward/embarrassed after doing something dumb, and people actually laugh!
This is such good advice. I’m doing it! 😃👏🏼👏🏼
Not speaking negatively about men is really striking a chord with me especially as a mom of 2 boys. Would love some extended talks on that.
definitley hit me hard as a mom of a boy.
It annoys me so much. I’m a lesbian so I will never be interested in men like that, but I do love men and everything they bring to this world. It’s ridiculous how much hate men are getting nowadays.
This is a topic I would like to hear more of!! I've got some work to do on it haha
We tend to make ourselves more miserable by shit talking men
Yes! So guilty of this too and I have 3 sons😢😢😢 so convicted!
I deactivated my Facebook today! It feels great not knowing everything that's going on.
YES!
I haven’t deactivated mine yet but I haven’t posted in 6 days
I deleted mine 6 weeks ago and have changed so much!
I didn’t deactivate mine but I deleted the app off my phone. Wish me luck. I’m so tired of all the noise.
Delete it. Seriously. Download what you want to keep and then go! It's sooooo liberating ❤
For the ‘make the bed morning’ topic…I make mine by noon or so. I love waking up and pulling the bedding to the foot of the bed and letting the sheets and blankets breathe. Healthier for the bedding and I open a window or atleast open the blinds so sun shines on the sheets. Airing out the bed after sleeping in it gives me peace for bedtime when I hop back in for the night.
Air it out for sure! I always found it gross to make up a sweaty bed and trap all that in there....sometimes I don't even make the bed but I love the first night of the week of fresh clean sheets.
Okay I am adopting this habit! Thank you!
Yesssss! So sick of hearing this 'habit' again and again 😡
I used to do that and should start doing it again! Thanks for the reminder!
I lived in Kenya for a time and they dont make their beds...they turn them down for the day..opening them like this so the bed can breathe and air out. It gets fresh air and is ready for the next night 😊
This list was full of such unexpected, genuine things. I'm not really a religious person, but what you said about noise and us not being able to hear god even if he was speaking to us really resonated. Thank you!
thanks Stacy!
Yes and Amen!
Yes! I have no silence on purpose because if I don't I go back to sad memories and I just get sad or cry. I always have podcasts in while gardening and even taking showers! I think it would be healthier to spend time in silence and work through it. But will i? I was just thinking how I don't have time to do it and BAM your next topic was how we have more time than we think.
I have to tell you. Today is the first day that I saw your channel. I resonated with so much that you are talking about. All the way down to the adrenal fatigue and crazy sleep patterns. But here is the wild thing. I'm 63 years old. Clearly these are all patterns and obstacles that women of all ages are experiencing. You're doing a wonderful job! God bless your ministry, your channel and all those you reach. Keep going. You are needed.
I don't play music while driving, I try not to have anything on when cooking, I keep the TV quiet if I'm watching it, it's been a huge and amazing change in my life!
I do the same. I spend my whole day talking and listening . I now find it peaceful to drive in silence. It’s like a detox of auditory stimulation for me lol
I’ve been wanting to do this but so hard to stick to it and sit in silence
Interesting! I am going to try this!
Outside time is soooo important for the teen years too. It restores everything when my son is outside skiing, backpacking, camping, hiking. He comes home so refreshed and clear minded.
I like the idea of a video on noise pollution. I try to practice Moana a couple times a week.
Staying in silence, off the phone, and even no reading. Really great for your nervous system ❤
i love that, i think we all need more of that
Yes speaking poorly about men out of frautration is a toxic trait of mine, same as oversharing my marriage problems with family, or spekaing around my children. Is something im working on keeping these topics to myself out of respect to my marriage and children. Great great points.
Sleep. A detailed video on your new sleep habits, how you achieved that, practicalities, what you gave up or prioritized to make it work, the mindset, etc, that would be… so so helpful. Please.
Yes please.
I admire your honesty and desire to “clean up” your communication. I’ve being checking myself on what a blurt out and am stopping this habit that serves no purpose to anyone. It’s more peaceful to be quiet. 🐇
The amount of value you provided in 20 minutes is mind blowing. Thank you 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

Thank you for this list. Love it. I quit feeling the need to have an opinion or a strong opinion about something many things. I don’t even chime in on every conversation going on via text or in person. Silence can be golden. It feels good to only “ major on the major” and be more easy flowing on other things. I feel free, have met new people, and been involved in so many new experiences.
The internet is so full of noise that it’s really lost any form of merit for me. But this. Madi, this list is so good. Simple things like more sleep and less noise can do wonders - we don’t need anything more to have ultimate health and happiness. We need less. And this list is full of fresh ideas I’m sure some have never considered before. Love love love.
Can you PLEASE make a video on how to take care of little ones, have a business, do the household,... all while prioritizing good sleep? (AND also healing one's cycle/hormones.) Maybe a daily/weekly routines vlog. Thank you so much. Your content is healing in so many ways.🙏💛

I quit almost all of these things too. I wish I could not work for anyone else, but as a RN, I can’t figure out how to do that. Hopefully I can simply retire soon. I’m 51 and had to be a single mom since my sons were 8 and 13. They are grown now, 21 and 26, but it took all my time to work and pay for us to live. No child support, terrible ex husband. Consequently I’ve remained single and will for the rest of my life. Recently, I essentially decided to turn off the world and the quality of my life has improved greatly. I’ve had way more time with the Lord and reading and studying my Bible. I turn on thunderstorm videos and waves at the beach sound videos. I have tinnitus and those sounds relax me to help me sleep and that’s all that is ever on my TV. So much so that my 3 year old grandson likes it and told my daughter in law he wants to watch “grandma TV” to sleep at night 😂. Madisun, you are very blessed to have learned the wisdom of life the way you are living it at such a young age.
There is a growing community of online Nurse Practitioner's. They work remotely & also do house calls. ❤😊
Following. I’m a nurse too. 💗
@@kimgordon3695I have some younger friends who went back to school to be NP’s for the flexibility, but I’m just a regular registered nurse and not willing to go back to school for anymore training. Honestly, I’m looking at quitting healthcare altogether and just getting a job somewhere I might actually enjoy working. I’m tired of the insanity 😅❤
Please please do a video about how you quit dieting. I am so sick of it consuming my life. As always I so enjoy your videos. Thanks for being you ❤
Agreed...just started this journey of not dieting..harder than I thought. I have made it such a part of my life and trying to quit. Its like a comfort at this point 😢
I love how you are self aware and that you noticed how you were talking negatively about men at times. I am guilty of that too and it never really occurred to me the possible reasons I was doing it. Thank you for highlighting this, I think it’s a really important thing for both sexes to stop doing ❤
absolutely! thank you. so kind
Thanks for sharing! I've done some of these changes in my life - I'm 72. I love hymns sometimes instrumental; sometimes Lauren Daigle or other Christian artists so my house is filled with praise for Abba, but I've learned to listen to the silence/peace during my tea time with Him. I don't listen to the news/politics either - it stresses me out not because I want to stick my head in the sand, but because I don't know if they are telling the truth. We enjoy playing pickleball or going for a snowshoe walk to get exercise, sunshine and fresh air. God bless you and yours. Enjoyed your chat.
Yes! I appreciate people who stay on top of politics and news, but it isn't my jam...and I've stopped feeling bad about it. I focus on doing my part for humanity in other ways that don't make me feel so bad. Like I love donating to charities helping bring relief to people who are struggling so I feel more like I'm solving problems in that way, which is more positive and interesting to me.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with less! I so appreciate it!
I totall agree
It took me until I was 62 (now lol) to stop feeling bad for not keeping up with or caring about current events. It's so freeing! Good for you too!
I'm still trying to figure out how not to feel bad about it. Any tips?
@@Julie-hk2qs ohh, actually, my brother and/or husband (who both stay informed) read an article about it and told me! Man, I don't know if I could even find it, but the jist was for people who stay informed to not be upset with people who don't because part of the point of our freedom and the way our country is set up is so that people can live perfectly nice lives without keeping up with it all. 🤷♀️ Maybe that helps? We need both, but I'm not good at staying informed. So I try to focus on contributing to society in ways I am good at. 😅 And those are probably different from ways that informed people contribute.
I have often felt guilty for being so out of the loop culturally, politically now that I have kids. But recently I’ve been feeling like it’s something I should be doing deliberately right now anyway to protect my own mental health and my ability to be in tune with my own family and loved ones during this season. Your explanation of being “out of touch” culturally but completely tuned into your family and community perfectly put words to where I’m at and what I’ve been feeling.
YES 🙌🏽
Absolutely loved this Madisun, thank you 💕
Love this Madisun!! Thank you for always encouraging 🤗
Thanks for this video. I love your energy and your attitude!
God speaks to us. We just need to stop and listen.
YES 🙏
Want to know about how you beat adrenal fatigue and also how that fatigue showed itself in your life/health. I'm looking into this because I'm experiencing chronic fatigue even with a lot of sleep.
I love your perspective. Thank you so much for making these videos and sharing this amount of value with the world. It means a lot ❤ less is more!!
Great video! These were helpful in a deeper way. I've read several of the books you have recommended and started watching Awwlexis. I really appreciate your advice and words. Also, really enjoying your podcasts! I had to listen to your one on rest twice because I needed to hear it again.
This was the first video of yours I saw, and I really appreciate your authenticity and how openly you shared your experiences :) I am going to look at more ☺
I really appreciate your mission and what you’re sharing! Thanks for the encouragement and words of wisdom.
All of this was SO good! Notifications are on! I want to see more of you! So genuine ❤ wishing you all the best, keep the great content coming.
Thanks Madisun! You always inspire me
this was a really great listen for me. Thank you for this.
I loved all of these so much! Thank you!! I also talk about slow living online but have had trouble figuring out how to make a "business" out of it. I'd love to hear more about how you began working for yourself and making meaningful income for your family. It's definitely a dream of mine as I'm currently doing a bunch of little jobs to make it all work, and I'm so tired of working for other people. Thank you for making this video, it was great!
Thank you, girl❤That's exactly what I needed😊
❤️
Just found you in my feed today. Loved everything about this video. Subscribe and looking forward to implementing a number of these habits in my next new chapter in my life!
Oooo, I really resonate with you and your slow living, mindful living videos! I appreciate how authentic you are. I’m learning to slow down myself just recently over the last few months and while it’s been rewarding and eye opening, it has been challenging. It’s nice to hear how others are learning to slow down and create healthier habits. 😊
You are so brilliant! I love what you share and the way in which you share it. You shine brightly my friend. ✨ sending you lots of love from Sweden ❤️
I love your videos, you are my favourite youtuber. So inspirational and so many topics resonating with me. I can see you truly pour from your heart❤
I hope&pray for you to keep having energy and passion for making these videos in the future too🙏 lots of love from Finland, Europe
Maddie you are a tremendous blessing more than you’ll ever know, never forget that!!!
Love this video so much!!! Thank for for putting urself out here and inspiring us !!!
😘
This was a great video, thank you! Would love to hear more about doing things for yourself during the day. The idea that we have to wait for the kids to go to bed to get anything done is an alluring trap and doesn't make me feel good. Thanks again!
Hitting home for me, taking notes, and YES please talk about every single one. Bless you ;-)
Yes, to pretty much all of these! I already apply a bunch of these. I love not being in the loopt. It gives me so much more peace of mind.
You are a beautiful soul and I enjoyed listening to you. I learned many years ago most of the things you addressed and now life is meaningful and absolutely peaceful
Yes please…a whole video about resources you use to learn about healthy, slow eating . What you do and what it looks like in your life and tips and how to eat for healthy hormones.
Agree with all of these! Great list! I don’t do a lot of these things, and fully agree with you.
Years ago a friend of mine said something that stuck with me. ‘I want my toilet to be so clean that I could lick it.’
Agree with all of your points. Going to sleep around 8-9 every night has helped me sooo much with chronic fatigue and chronic pain too. Would love more videos on how to feel less anxious and like you have time to yourself with two kiddos AND going to bed early. Still struggling with that aspect of going to sleep early. But maybe part of that is because I still need to declutter more and due to chronic pain 🤷♀️
You know what is so great about your video's? They always make me feel good about myself. You just have a way about you that inspires people and makes people feel like they are doing exactly what they're suppost to be doing. For me everything you mention are things that have been on my mind too, and I think many people can relate 😊
I recently just quit strategy games. My brain just does not work that way, they are not fun to me, and they make me feel stupid. I just don't need that in my life! As well, feeling pressured to dress like an adulty adult and feeling like I needed to have long hair to be feminine, I quit. Much love for this video, thanks Madi!
thank you for this
This is a good list because you are being so humble about your life.
I mean, there is nothing wrong on improving on the skills you have to become as good as possible in doing those things. That motivates me to keep doing well. It should not take over your life or drain you though. I go to bed at 9 and wake at 5 or 5:30 (which has been normal for me since I was seven).
Wow. I love cleaning my toilet and do it often. I was called to clean and unclog toilets in high school at summer camp because people didn't want to and I didn't mind to and like cleaning toilets. I can't imagine not flushing. It is a habit I've had since I was potty trained.
I have never had alcohol. never. Not any type. I'm 40. I don't see the lure in it when there is so much destruction surrounding it.
I loved what you said about quiet in solitude. The story about the rug you told made me feel itchy! It is so cool you are outside so often now (other than on a run). What a beautiful story! Thanks so much for sharing all of this to me.
So sorry to hear about the debt you had to pay when you didn't even finish what the debt was for. That sounds really rough. I am sure that taught you so many lessons in that. I never went to college and tell my children that if they really really want to go, I want them to fully know what they want to go for, otherwise I tell them to get a good job and work up in it (doing their best at whatever they do). My oldest will be a senior in high school this September.
I would love to learn more about this whole foods and hormone situation. You asked what to dive deeper on in future videos. . .that. I am so interested in learning what you learned in that way!
Thanks for another great video.
A lot of this is very relatable. Thanks for sharing!
so glad! thank you!
This was beautiful!❤
This is the best. Your articulation of your insight is so authentic and intelligent. Thank you.
Very honest video that hits a chord with me !
Madisun❤, I was listening to one of your other videos this morning because whenever I’m down, your videos encourage me! Love your channel thank you for what you do❤
this is so sweet. thank you!
This is beautiful and deep 🙏
Love this! thank you
I love this thank u so much for sharing 🥰🥰🥰
I would love more pregnancy related topics . Topics like minimalist pregnancy essentials (clothes , body care etc ) also how to prepare for post partum , not get caught up with just creating the perfect registry . Homebirth tips etc
This sounds so fun, I will definitely do this! :)
Yes or surviving first trimester exhaustion and nausea and staying motivated to continue decluttering and living slowly
I am not pregnant and am way past childbearing years, but I love Madi's approach to all this that I would love for her to reach so many more women out there. I just think the world would be so much better with this approach to child rearing. So, I too would love more of these videos.
I love all of your content. I would especially love hearing about how you are taking care of yourself during pregnancy and preparation for new baby as well as homeschooling.
Yes, please, instruction on getting to bed so early while still getting things done. Thank you!
#5 was SPOT ON!! You don't hear much about on YT addressing this problem. 👏🏼 good job on the whole video!
You are stunning! ✨
I was laughing at the toilet one. I do that too! I think it comes from living in SoCal during drought years and I always felt guilty flushing all that water. I live in much wetter place now so I really have no excuse not to flush 😂. I also hate cleaning the bathroom but I agree that it always is so much nicer when it is clean.
I was going to ask her if she was raised on CA! I am born and raised in the SF Bay Area and always in a drought😅
Could you please do a video on recipes you use. Your food always looks so yummy. Thank you for all the great advice you give, it is always a blessing.
Such a great video! Would love to hear more about recovering from adrenal fatigue ❤
Also, I would love to hear more about how you balance plenty of outside time with still getting things done inside, cooking meals, etc that need to be done. We homeschool and I often want to be outside when my kids are out but I also feel a pull to get a meal started, finish the laundry, and on and on.
Even a 20 minute walk is so beneficial & I find I’m more productive once I get home xx
Thank you for these! I agree and love how God has blessed you with discernment to be aware and the generosity to share the wisdom! ❤
aww thank you 😘
Super duper love this video! ❤ Thank you! I had to pause more than once to let your wisdom settle into my brain.
I’d love a video on letting go of food fears, dieting etc.
Thinking about how quiet our ancestors lives were is so fascinating!
so sweet thank you for watching!
First time here, so many powerful thoughts and definitely some real truths! I will be back soon again to watch some more videos 😊
Just happened upon your vid and really enjoyed it. You have a lot of wisdom for one so young.
I am also into slow living. Sleeping for me, since retiring, usually means a regular bedtime of 3-4am, and wake time of noon. Obviously I don't have kids! (Before anyone jumps on me for this--it's 7-8 hours a night.)
Being your own boss is great too, and I love the seasons of life when I've been able to do that, including now.
Thanks for mentioning speaking negatively about men--there is so much of that now. In fact, we could extend it to speaking negatively about others--gossip, which is at epidemic level.
I also gave up watching news on a regular basis. It has become entertainment for people the way it is presented these days--verbal click bait, and just puts more stress on you. If anything real important happens, I guarantee someone will tell me about it.
I relate to the way you feel about alcohol and with cannabis. As I got older and had kids I didn’t like the ick feelings from drinking so I basically stopped except the super rare occasion of a spiked homemade eggnog seasonally lol . A lot of people seemed weirded out by this. I grew up in a legal marijuana state and I used it occasionally until my kid 20s when it started effecting me in an uncomfortable way. Friends have made me feel SO BAD about this! Suggesting I try different kinds, etc and trying to sell it. I’m happy to skip it ❤
Beautiful message! 🤍🪴
thank you!
I would love to know more about the giving up/ how to give up dieting. And also the not talking negatively about men (or humans as a whole). I also would LOVE to hear more about homeschooling. I have a 3 year old and 1 year old that I will be "unschooling" would love to see the flow of your days. This was really great! I always appreciate your perspective ❤
After further introspection this comment sounded like I speak ill of people nonstop.... to clarify stopping underhanded comments 😂
Didn’t read it bad at all ;) I have a 2yo girl and hopefully another soon that we will also unschool…feeling overwhelmed by the idea but deeply peaceful that it’s right for us!!!
@@douxhealth-beauty3196 same!!
my dieting story could be a good podcast episode. and I have a homeschooling video planned, so stay tuned!
First of all - I am in deep debt to you for your reading lists both from Wholehearted and this channel and mostly for John Elderidge - secondly I am always amazed to find others (especially younger than me) who go to bed early and rise early - thank you for each of these points which match my life points as well - and yes please research sleep and rest for us
What reading lists?
Yesss! I gave up dieting too and it’s so freeing!
Thank you for this video Madisun! It really resonated with me. It would be great if you could make a video on sleeping habits, I'm currently stuck in a very similar cycle as the one you described. It would really help if you could give us some tips on how to achieve better sleeping habits. Thank you!
Girl you hit the nail on the head about spending quiet time alone and hearing from the Lord .some people actually envy my relationship with the Lord and how quickly he answers my he also speaks to me and tells me things but it's because I haven't watched television in 12 years and for the last 5 years I've been an empty nester and a widow and been alone and boy let me t 15:46 ell you how my relationship with the Lord has went whole next level ❤
truly spot on. These are so convicting and thoughts I’ve had for a while but family members/friends thought were weird or boring of me to do. It’s just validating to hear someone else also making these simple yet major changes. Plus I firmly believe these help me personally feel more grounded and connected to God and his purpose for me. ❤
Love this ❤️
Amen to all of this! I absolutely love the sermon you mentioned. Maybe we just can't hear Him in all the noise. Quiet is a necessity in my book. And you are spot on when it comes to creativity being sparked when we slow down and declutter our lives. I can relate to this in so many ways. Thank you for this video! All my love 🤍
🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@MadisunGray 🤍
Madisun, where were you 40 years ago when so much of what you talk about was more relevant to me? 😂I absolutely love your approach to life and think you have so much to offer. And yes, I still can apply much of what you teach. I was being silly there. 😊 Thank you!
Fabulous content. Thank you.
I definitely think expanding on diet culture and being more intuitive with lots of things in life could be a great video!
Love love love this. Agree 100% with everything you said.
❤️
This was such a good video! I would love it if you could do some more videos about what you eat and how you changed your relationship with food. Some recipes or what we eat in a day or week videos would be cool too! Thanks Kate
Another video!? So excited!
Num 👏🏼 ber 👏🏼 five 👏🏼 So good. Yes, there are bad men. But there are bad women too. This overall cultural hatred toward men, especially fathers, is so sad. It breaks my heart. Pay attention to commercials, movies, tv shows. It’s portrayed and celebrated everywhere. Let’s lift each other up. Women to men, men to women, men to men, women to women. We are all valuable!
It’s life changing!
As a noise sensitive neurodivergent mother I totally agree with minimising noise. My earplugs (of the Loop brand) help me interact with my family, but they make everything a bit softer. When my son has media time, he watches/listens with headphones on. We don’t play background music. It helps me so much and I’m not triggered as much. x
Wow your video is very helpful for my spiritual journey thank you
Agree, years ago I stopped watching the news, I don't miss the negativity or the noise!
Again, another video full of topics that are universal and deeper than "I quit going to the salon, using tp, driving". Thank you. I have been called to study the book of James and got hit hard with the first two chapters. Realizing I am prejudiced against unhealthy/lazy people/trashy-and-proud culture. Humbling to see myself be just as big a bigot as most others. Thank you for sharing your own realizations, most wouldn't be so forthcoming on their shortcomings. I recently in the last two weeks turned off the tv after deep dive researching the cons off too much screens and kids. As much as I "low key" complain about how overwhelmed I am by the repetitive noise of having 4 girls you'd think this would be easy. It's NOT!! I can't escape, distract, or numb myself from the chaos of motherhood with a good dose of screentime.
Which leads me to my question for future topics. Minimalism, slow-living, homeschooling, whole foods made from the heart are all amazing aspects of life to embrace, but kids ARE NOT quiet, clean, agreeable souls. THERE ARE DAYS, WEEKS where being a mama, especially a homeschooling mama, is the hardest gig. Nothing gets accomplished, or it gets accomplished in irregular bits. How do you balance slow living with productivity, routines or structure that kids need to thrive, and accomplishing things so life doesn't feel its on a repeating loop of hurry and struggle?
Thanks for an amazing video! Love the ideas. Many been practicing but going to make a list of my no longer doing. ❤ few are credit cards, negative self talk, negative about guys, alcohol which I don't do much anyways and few more.
I laughed out loud when you said “I get very offended when he doesn’t laugh at my jokes” lol same! This was soooo helpful! Thank you as always!
Great video will be implementing many tips here
