After the new year, many people start thinking about decluttering their homes. And this is when we tend to hear how decluttering and minimalism go hand in hand. When you hear the word minimalism, what do you picture? It can look like a lot of different ways for different people. But it’s not decluttering. You can’t have a minimalist lifestyle without decluttering, but you absolutely can have a decluttered lifestyle without being a minimalist.

In this episode, Diana explains how she's considered minimal-ish and why you don't need to become a minimalist to feel the benefits of decluttering.

We’ll also discuss:

• What’s minimal-ish?
• Living without the excess.
• Benefits of decluttering.
• Don’t let the idea of minimalism scare you.

What can you expect from this podcast and future episodes?

• 15-20 minute episodes to help you tackle your to-do list
• How to declutter in an effective and efficient way
• Guest interviews
