About this episode

Kelly and Lauren continue their discussion on living with less, addressing common misconceptions and sharing personal insights on minimalism.

When life feels overwhelming, do you ever wish you had one simple phrase to ground you and help you reset? Kelly shares part two of last week’s one-on-one Q&A with Lauren, the show’s original co-host, where they continue answering your questions with the goal of helping you live more with less. In this second half, Kelly and Lauren share the common items they don’t own and why they don’t miss them, what “underbuying” looks like for them (and how they handle it when it happens), and a few things they’ve recently added into their lives. They also chat about the minimalist misconceptions that come up when they tell people they’re minimalists. Plus, they discuss the phrases they repeat to themselves when life feels overwhelming, the simple living mantras they live by, and they share their favourite minimalism and simple living books, including a few YouTube recommendations too! Be inspired to take one small step toward a simpler life.
