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!

The same thing happened to me. The less things I have the less cluttered my brain became and it left room for me to realise who I was and what was important. I struggled to declutter the clothes. I now have 13 items. Good quality ones. I’ve literally donated over 160 pieces. Shoes. Bags. Clothes. What I now have I use. I think I can even declutter a few more even. I feel like a weight has been lifted. And ironically I now don’t want to buy things. I realise that if I do that clutter will ‘dull’ my brain again. It’s also helped me to accept myself the way I am. I no longer feel like I need to dye my hair or have my nails done. I am the happiest and most comfortable I’ve ever been. Good luck to everyone on their own specific journey.❤
I feel exactly the same ❤ It’s funny how getting some clothes out of your closet can change so many things 😁
Yesss to this I no longer feel like I need to dye my hair or have my nails done.
Same same same
❤
💓🙋
Yes me too feel same ❤
This is crazy! The Lord called me to do the same thing a few weeks ago. I never felt like I had enough or that I ever showed up as myself. I was constantly comparing and trying to be something I’m not. I watched the Lord provide for me in MIRACULOUS ways after laying it all down. I have found so much freedom and have items that actually suit me and reflect who I am.
To me, as a mom especially, it came down to realizing how I was in a certain way, pausing my life by simply not getting dressed for the day... as if being alive and with the people I love wasn't a good enough reason to get myself together in the morning....
I was also sending my inner self the wrong message every day.. like everyday life is not worth the good and best we have.
I went through pregnancy and nursing 6 times in the past 12 years and only with reaching a certain understanding about myself and selfworth, helped me breaking free from many insecurities I was allowing to creep in through comparison.
You're doing such a great job as a young mama, Madi!
I realize that when I was younger and needed lots of clothes in my closet I was insecure, so I needed new things to make me feel better 😅 Now my life has completely transformed ❤. I love your minimalist clothing and how well it works for you.
I get so much value from this channel. Seeing the way you live and raise your family is so inspiring. I gave birth to my second child a few weeks ago and she has Down’s Syndrome which we were not aware of during pregnancy. I’m so scared of all the challenges that lie ahead and honestly somehow these videos help me relax a little. Thank you for your honest and simple content.
Today in the UK, in one day, it was warm enough to not need a jumper then cold enough to need a coat, then hail stone and rain and thunder then sun, all within an hour, 5 minutes between them. 🤣
Where I live is exactly the same. You need so many more clothes for the extreme temp changes. I wish it wasn't so!😢
I feel this in my soul. ND girl here and our weather is all over the place. 😂
Same here in Norway. In spring weer van have snow in the morning and sit in a dress in the garden an hour later. And have pictures of us wearing winter coats in the summer holiday😅
We live in South England and exactly this happened to us too. 😂
We have to keep reasonable amount of clothes.
I live in Ireland and I feel you. Same exact weather this week!
Beautiful 😍 anybody living in a cold climate, don’t be feeling guilty 😅 I’m still wrapped up in my rain coat, boots, layers hats and scarves…
I’m choosing to eliminate synthetic clothes and the cotton and wool makes me feel more natural lol 😝
When I put it in parameters that are more carefully chosen I not only found freedom from clutter but mindful on a more sustainable path through this one life I get. So much to learn but starting is a first step. Thanks for everything. Happy baby time !!❤️
Loved this, I re-wear the same few things and I love that I care less and less how I look and focus more on how I feel.
I recently decluttered my clothing, and it’s amazing how I feel like I have more to wear because I love everything I kept.
woohoo..100K!! Congratulations; well deserved! Always love your videos!!
🎉❤ very nice
Well deserved! 🪩💃🏻✨
I love what you said about it being about taking care of yourself better and not strictness or deprivation. Thats something I needed to hear, thanks!
Love this Madi!
I would love a video on natural products you use…
Kids sunscreen, deodorant, dish soap etc.
Ive already been on a minimalist journey and using more natural products, but I dove into the book “Fatal Conveniences” you mentioned in another video and I’m a bit overwhelmed with making more changes!
I love that you are so mindful to say , don’t feel pressured the items you previewed in this video! But just showed a capsule wardrobe based off your lifestyle and this season God has you in ❤ I have been following you for from beginning and so blessed to see your family and you blossom, grow and empower 🌱
Thank you for stating that you hope this doesn't trigger us to go buy anything. It's so refreshing to watch something that maintains my focus and doesn't influence me to buy something but rather change something about myself.
I really love your clothes. They show your free spirit and gentleness. Although yes it does make me want to do similar, my reality is that I know I'd stain everything and I'm dealing with well water. So it just goes to show that everyone needs to find what works for them.
Same! I began decluttering my house over two moves and after I got rid of a lot I began to lose weight and take better care of my body and mind- it’s like I needed more mental space to really think and see what I felt and looked like and what I was dwelling on. Aiming for some type of minimalism is a move in the direction of finding what really matters in your life.
Madisun! Been loving your videos for about 2 years ❤
Please make more content on how to practically manage all the duties of motherhood/ running a household. I feel like between breakfast, homeschool, laundry, lunch, nap for the youngest, cleaning the house, and cooking dinner every night I still struggle to slow down. How do you do it with toddlers? Even after 3 years of going minimal I feel like there’s hardly time to slow down.
beautiful! I wish so badly I could have a minimalist wardrobe but living in Vermont means 30 one day, 65 the next. Warm and sunny one day, snow the next. love the idea of this, though!
Yup! Fellow Vermonter here. Well said.
@@bellesky8718 Aw hi! Thanks gf💜
Hello fr anywhere NE USA 🙋
That’s still an excuse
Yep. I'm interested to see a take on this from someone with four seasons.
I love a capsule wardrobe and having less clothing. I live in a four season country and have struggled with keeping my wardrobe small, but as you said, the number of clothes we have doesn’t matter. And if you love the items that you own, that’s all that counts ❤
Your storytelling is so captivating. I’ve always been inspired by your 10 item wardrobe videos and have used it to customize my own! I learned through the process that during the spring/summer months I really don’t wear more than 10-15 different items, it’s the colder months that get me. But I’m still figuring out what serves me and a happy medium that’s not too much and not too little ☺️
I wear the same in Summer or winter, only difference in winter i wear leggings and cardigans with my dresses.
Love your wardrobe update videos, Congrats on 100k, I found you when you had less than 10k, just shows how living from the heart makes you grow in so many different ways x
The same happened to me! The less I had the more calm and fulfilled I felt. I was so overwhelmed by all the things I did have bc I just didn’t know I could have less.
I just have to share that you are getting so so good at editing!! The “it’s a nice day out” clip in the beginning was just great. I simply love your videos, you inspire me, that is all.
I really loved this. As someone who's been on the slow fashion journey for years I appreciated the "don't go buy these" things comment because I saw a few things and went "oooh!" but having the reminder up front allowed me to appreciate your video as a whole and focus on the intent behind it rather than seeing it as an accidental influence to buy things. Well done, appreciate your curation.
When I saw you throw the shirt without elastic anymore I was like oh noooo that’s Kyle’s favorite shirt! Hahah cuz I’d just watched that video recently of your wardrobe! Love this pregnancy edition. And can’t wait to see a PP one also!! Congrats on 100k, you deserve it!
Decluttering and minimalism really is a part of their own. You cannot compare your things or how much somebody has with your own belongings. It is deeply spiritual to let go of things and everyone „awakens“ in their own time ❤❤
Madi❤. I’m struggling and I needed this encouragement today…. Planning on taking your course soon. Your channel is a blessing. Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers.💖🙏
❤
I’ve been hoping you would do another minimalist wardrobe video soon. This is the push I needed to do another round of refining my wardrobe. 😍
I was so distracted by the beautiful eggs in the adorable 1/2 dozen egg cartons, that I forgot listen to the video! Oh my goodness!
Wait…were we talking about clothes??😂😊
This is amazing! Thank you so much❤
Congrats!!! 100k! We LOVE your videos! My daughters and I watch you every week!
Congratulations on 100K! Love your videos and look forward to them ♥️
Congratulations on 100k!! You deserve it!!! Still loving all of your videos since way back when ♥️
Gorgeous! Love the video and your personal style
Congratulations on 100k, Madi! Thank you for putting out beautiful and inspiring content always! 🌸
Thank you Madisun! Always a treat to watch your videos, so inspirational. I however, don't have enough clothes (really dislikes clothes shopping). 3 Outfits for summer, and 3 for winter, ouch! But definitely inspired to get myself beautiful pieces in which I would feel good!
Congratulations ro 100 000 subcribers!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
I would have stained all those nice white, cream dresses in the first week 😂😂😂 props to you! 🎉
100k!!! That's amazing my sweet sister friend!! You know I've been here since the very beginning and I'll be cheering you on until the end. 🎉✨️🥰
Your videos are so well put together. It’s truly a treat to watch what you create! ✨
Great video I was just getting ready to clean out my closet. 😊
Oh Madi, this is my most favorite video of yours ever. It really hit me and registered this time more than ever. Im 52 art teacher in public school with two sick old parents. Just a huge thank you! 🙏🏻 That is all!
Congratulations on 100K!!!! I've been really working on decluttering my home. It's a slow process but I'm so happy I started
Oh Madi!!!! Congratulations on 100K! Gosh I remember the early days and it was so precious! You have stewarded your gift and we have all benefited! I took a 6 month social media hiatus and it was beautiful but I missed your videos! I’m so happy to hear about your little one coming! Missed you! Much love. ❤
I love that white musselin dress with lilac flowers, looks so flattering on you 🌸 congrats on 100k subscribers! You deserve it ✨
Madi, I very much enjoyed this video! I remember you mentioned you wanted to become better at story telling and though I think you have been very good at story telling ever since the beginning I do see you have become better! Thank you for the loveliest content ❤. Very grateful for you!
This was such a feel good video💛
I just reorganized my closet yesterday. It was so overwhelming and I don’t know why I have so many clothes. I’m a homeschooling mom. I don’t go enough places to justify having so many clothes. I just keep organizing it all … it’s stressful going into my closet. It just feels messy and chaotic.
Thank you ❤
Such a beautiful video, Madi, with profound wisdoms from you. ❤
Your children always look so joyful and loved. Great job Mama Maddie ❤️
Oh I love that you’re pregnant rn! I’ve been trying to simplify my clothes but struggling to know what to keep as I’m pregnant rn. This helps a lot.
I LOVE listening to you while watching you live your life. Your kids holding those chickens 😂
You keep outdoing yourselves!!
Love seeing you show off your baby bump!
Congratulations !!! From France 🇫🇷
Your videos full of peace and sincerity are little sweets in my Life ❤️
You are adorable.Your clothing is perfect. When I was young & having children, the clothes for pregnant women was horrible!
I love minimalism. It has made life so much stressful. You are blessed to find minilism when you are young. I am 76 😊
With your wonderfully beautiful and inspiring videos you really deserve 100,000 subscribers and I hope there are many more who find this wonderful channel because I think we all need to hear your messages in this stressful world. Big congratulations to you.❤❤
I love your natural hair ❤
This is the most poetic video about minimalism
Packed up some more today, as a matter of fact! I’m down to linen, cotton and other natural materials. I’m loving my closet these days. ❤
I had a small maternity wardrobe of 12 items for both pregnancies. It is only for a defined limited period of life.
No point buying a huge amount for this stage of life.
I think I’ve watched this video 3 times already. I love it! I find your videos very therapeutic and calming. Do you find you are more attracted to natural fibres like linens since slowing life down?☺️
Another great video Maddi, I love it ❤️ and thank you so much for showing your beautiful baby bump, women are creators and nurturers 🌸
I’m struggling with how to declutter with my 6 year old. He’s old enough I feel like it should be his choice. But I don’t want to force him, and I don’t want him to feel like he’s ‘losing’ by minimizing. Been working on this with him for about a year and a half. Wish I’d found minimizing before he was 4. I think that would have helped sooo much, because I could have done it for him more. Any suggestions anyone? Without it being a losing battle? And without breaking his trust? ❤
Perhaps letting him see you declutter and the reasons behind every piece you are getting rid off, ie stained, or doesn’t fit. Might be a drip feed type way for him to understand and do it for himself. Im sure others with little ones can give you helpful suggestions as well.x
I will say, in my pregnancy/postpartum, I spend money on clothes and then once I go back to my small usual wardrobe, everything feels more simple. I am almost back to my normal clothes again now and it is so near, but I also plan on getting pregnant again for the last time before I age out (I'm 40). I typically wear x-small tops but am in medium right now. I typically wear medium pants and underwear but have been wearing a mix of some medium/some large. I typically wear size small dresses but am in medium and large. My bust is huge when I am nursing (I am usually an A/B cup and right now am a G/H cup). I think this is the only time I have given myself permission to spend money so I can wear something that makes me feel "normal."
I loved seeing your downsizing here. I know you have had videos before showing your wardrobe, and I do think you always have kept it pretty simple and lovely.
Just curious what you use for washing your laundry?
Love your content, thank God for guiding me to your channel 💕
I am obsessed with the flower dress.
Where can we buy it? It’s lovely.
Thank you for all the inspiration and help!! I have significantly pared down my wardrobe and buying high quality fabrics, etc. However, I live in MN and we value spending time outside and I have 4 kids and a small house. Soooo, how to minimize a 4 season wardrobe with all the necessary outer gear?
Love this! I like project 3:33. It's 33 pieces for 3 months, excluding true workout clothes and underwear, but i think mine includes those. I live in MN, a 4 climate state, so i need a new capsule every 3 months, give or take. I pack the rest away from my hanging rack during the off season.
Madi, what a beautiful wardrobe. You have some very y stylish pieces that suit you. The things you have chosen are so suitable for you. I live minimally too with two extreme seasons mild and hades 🥵. Summer is always my problem. You hit the nail on the head when you said if you need more you don’t need to buy tons more and this is the mindset I take in a store. Getting the wardrobe as close to right takes time and it evolves constantly. I really enjoyed your work on this video, adorable 😊
I’ve been slowly but dramatically downsizing everything. My clothes being one area. Almost everything in my closet is secondhand or Sam’s Club clothes 😊 Which, I’m generally ok with. Clothing budget isn’t an issue, but I do have a hard time spending money on myself. I have a 6yo,4yo,2yo and baby #4 due in July. My body has fluctuated so much in the last 6 years clothes hasn’t been a huge priority. I find myself stuck now, with HOW to add quality pieces when I’m ready, after baby. I rarely go shopping, and quite honestly have no idea where to start. I don’t particularly like ordering online because trying things on and feeling good in my clothes is most important. Recommendations for my excuses?!
Madi, what about doing a video about how to create a course for those of us who wish to live a slow life, have ideas & need income? I have all the ideas but a lot of the course creation videos on you tube are intense. You're soothing to my nervous system 😂
I love this!!!! But I NEED a minimalist video for toys 😅😭
I love your wardrobe! How would you find key pieces in a thrift store? I end up accumulating way too much, but prefer thrift store shopping. Would love to hear your thoughts! Congrats on your new baby 🙏❤️
Recognise a lot of your pieces glad you enjoy our Australian brands
Ah where are those blue jeans shorts from? 😊 I see a link for shorts in description but it’s not populating for those. Loving the simple wardrobe!
💕 yes!!!
Any tips on keeping white clean? I read fatal conveniences and am so mindful of cleaning products but I can never keep my white items clean but i love them 😅
I notice my style has changed i love basic plain color t shirts, some cute light color washed denim jeans and a pair of Dylan crocs or my brown Nike blazers. I want more because i felt like i deserve it (i do) but i rather have “more” in nature. More self care, more nature walks, more laughs and happiness and more money in investments and savings.
Need that ravioli recipe tho!
Hey Madi. What cookbook is that?! Pasta looks good! = )
After being pregnant and knowing i was going to breastfeed my second babe for years, i decided to move on the clothes that don't fit or not comfortable to bf in. I wont be doing this all the time, but from these videos I've learnt to only hold onto what is serving me now. This includes baby clothes (so many)
Hello thank you for vidéo 🙂
Would it be possible to have a video on your children's wardrobe please ?
I live next to a swamp with woods so I need many pairs of shoes lol
We treat our outdoor gear w WD-40 to aid in preservation
@@kimgordon3695 that's a good idea thanks!!
Gardening vid soon? 🤓🌺🐝
What's the cookbook you are using?
I think I recognize it as I have the same one. I think it’s a Sardinian cookbook called “Bitter Honey”
100k 🎉
😂 me laughing as I realize I have the exact same shoes as you, both pairs 😂
This is a question for all. How many outfits can you wear with a 10 piece wardrobe? How often are you doing laundry? What about those in a 3 or 4 season clime? Do you have a "uniform"? For those over 40, how are you fighting the frump or the sad chase of looking 20? How to keep the look casual and pretty without looking like you gave up? ( Looking at you young ones wearing baggy shirts and PJ bottoms out in public). Really struggling to focus my style in such a limited collection.
If you live in Hawaii and don't work, you don't need many clothes.
❤
💜💜💜
I ❤ your channel. I have a channel too I speck about wellness and what to do for our goodness. 🎉
💖
My problem is I keep buying dresses to curate the "perfect wardrobe".
Estás muy guapa 😊
No criticism at all, I thought you were plant based so when I saw you use eggs I was just confused. I am not plant based and enjoy eggs, so eat on girl!
Inspiring video 🤍 I definitely want to get my closet down a bit.
