  • The Minimal Mom, also known as Dawn Madsen, joins me for a fantastic conversation to help you (and me) increase our peace by minimizing our stuff! Dawn, an expert in minimalist living and decluttering, has successfully maintained her home AND her peace by getting rid of over 80% of her belongings. (Whew!)
    No matter what all of those Tupperware and Spacebag commercials tell you about the ease of storing goods in your home, it takes a lot to keep track of everything. No matter what you do to keep organized, it can take one dinner or late-night-last-minute school project to bring havoc to your home. We’ve all been there: the day-to-day home maintenance can make a battlefield out of what should be a living room. So how do we conquer the clutter?
    In the episode, join Dawn Madsen and I as we chat about the stresses of a cluttered home, the basics of dealing with your stuff, and strategies for sticking to your decluttering journey.
    Are you ready to make space to exhale? Then join Dawn and I as we conquer clutter and restore peace in our homes!

    I woke up, and I and the Holy Spirit agreed to at least start with my desk - not all the surfaces, just the desk. And here you are, Chrystal! God is so good!

    It’s so true about your home being stressful. I hate coming home to my house because of ALL THE STUFF! I’m in the process of decluttering because I have to so I can stay sane and finally relax in my home. All the crap laying around and shoved in cupboards doesn’t bother my family because they don’t have to manage it all. After my dad passed, the small room he lived in at a family member’s house took all day to go through. I cannot image how long it would take to go through my home! I want to be calm and present for my kids and give them a clean/tidy/relaxing home vs the emotional overwhelmed mom I always am

    I love decluttering! It’s always been my thing. Before it was even a thing 🤗. Dawn is my favorite you-tuber and I listened to all her videos. As I listen to this I thought of a new thing to declutter. I’m so excited 👏👏

    What a gift! Thank you for a delightful discussion on how to facilitate peace and tranquility in our homes. I am so thankful. God has given me the strength to unpack over 400 boxes with over 22 years of stuff purged, organized, and/or donated. My kitchen has been decluttered down to one set of pots and two sets of dishes, my linen brought to minimal levels with a set for guests, and a former monster toy room now turned into a play area with storage bins that line the wall all the way around providing space for the kids to clean up fast. Old toys have been donated and/or tossed! 🙌Clothes have been reduced to what we wear. 🙌 Now, what remains: a garage that still needs better organization and a classroom that needs to be subjected to a good purge of older school textbooks and materials. Just a little more work and effort and our home will be in good order. Lord, help me. This podcast was so helpful and encouraging. Thank you! 🙏

    Chrystal, I am going to make comments at intervals as I listen to the interview. I, too, am a subscriber of the Minimal Mom. Dawn is the expert, but I would say since you have a fear, keep what you have space for.

    I couldn’t get through the video because the ridiculous number of ads in the one short video. I get you want to get paid, but I don’t even want to finish the content of your video because every 3 minutes there’s an ad!
