About this episode

Dana Litz shares her personal journey with minimalism, discussing the emotional aspects of decluttering and offering practical tips for letting go of possessions.

For this week’s Minimalism Story episode I’m joined by Dana Litz, content creator and founder of Minimal Moves, to talk about what it really looks like to pursue minimalism over time—not perfectly, but through real-life ups and downs. Dana shares her personal journey with decluttering, from her childhood home to moving out—and even moving back in—and how each season shaped her perspective on stuff, space, and what truly matters. This conversation is a great reminder that minimalism isn’t a one-time project, but something that evolves with you. We also talk about the emotional side of decluttering and how to start letting go of items that feel hard to release. Dana offers practical, doable tips for detaching from possessions without guilt, along with her “Minimal Moves” approach—focusing on small, consistent actions that create meaningful change over time. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the cycle of decluttering or struggled to let go, this episode will meet you with both encouragement and realistic next steps.
