In this episode, Kelly speaks with behavioural design expert and three-time New York Times bestselling author Nir Eyal to share insights from his latest book, Beyond Belief.

Have you ever looked around at your life and thought, “Why am I holding onto all of this?” In this episode, Kelly speaks with Mike C-Roc, host of the What Are You Made Of? show, about the biggest lessons she’s learned on her minimalist journey and what it really looks like to let go. They talk through how to manage “what if” items, the three main reasons we cling to our things, and practical ways to keep life simple, including how Kelly organizes her phone. And the conversation goes beyond physical clutter into the mental side of minimalism, including how we attach our identity to our stuff, how to loosen that grip, and what we gain when we create space. Kelly also shares the experiences that led her to minimalism and eventually launching this podcast with Lauren, including her years working as a model, the connection it sparked with simple living, and the emotional pressure that came with that chapter, plus how she manages mental excess today.
