110 // The Connection Between Simplicity, Self-Worth, and Reaching Our Greatest Potential - with Rose Lounsbury

As you embark on your decluttering and simplifying journey, you start to ask yourself questions such as:
What am I making space for?
What dreams have been buried in the stuff and chaos around me?
Where do I find my self-worth as a mom and woman? Is it in the roles that I play and the things I own, or something deeper?
When we start simplifying and creating space in our homes, calendars, and minds, it opens up so much more than extra square footage or hours in our day. It allows us to dream, to see where our self-worth truly comes from outside what we have and what we do, and to reach our greatest potential as moms and women.
On today’s episode, simplicity coach Rose Lounsbury and I discuss these topics and much more!
Rose helps busy working moms declutter their homes, simplify their work lives, and clear their minds. After struggling to balance a teaching career and 2-year-old triplets, Rose was introduced to minimalism in 2012. Inspired by the “less is more” philosophy, she let go of 70% of her family’s possessions in eight months. She eventually left the classroom to pursue a career helping other working moms create happier lives with less stuff. Rose’s advice has been featured on TEDx and USA Today, and she’s been a guest on Good Day Columbus, WYSO, WVXU, and Good Morning Cincinnati.
