The Cozy Minimalism Podcast

This was a message I received from a reader that stated that she desperately needed my help with her garage. I sent her back a message offering up my Cozy Minimalist in Your Pocket Call for $30 and then realized after that she was looking for advice. Silly Angie! So I turned this into a Dear Angie episode because I know this is a big struggle for many of us.

If you're ready to add some real plants to your home, and you're not a natural green thumb... this episode is for you.

Sometimes, I say the wrong things. This was one of those times. I got a negative review because of something I thought was funny, but someone else didn't think was funny. But this episode isn't about the review, it's about how I didn't notice something for 6 years and how sometimes we feel unappreciated at home when we are doing all the things.

Getting too focused on the big and flashy before and afters will bog you down. Focus instead on the tiny spark. Cheer others tiny sparks. Let's start a revolution with this way of thinking on social media. 

Struggling at the verrrry beginning of your journey? Ugh, that really sucks, my friend. It can be a tough place to be in if you're spinning your wheels. I promise it gets easier! I give you some juicy tips to help you out at the beginning, even if you're feeling like you'll never make a dent.

What happens when you have already minimized all the things in your tiny bathroom and you still can't use it? You focus on function and organizing. Shayla (a cozy minimalist community member) sent me this conundrum. I figured she wasn't alone, so I created a podcast with solutions for her tiny bathroom.

Do you find you aren't decluttering but simply moving stuff from room to room or shelf to shelf? In this episode, I introduce you to a real life phase that is frustrating for lots of people: Stuff Shuffling. I give you three tips to get you moving forward with your process. I got you, friend!

If you aren’t ready to let something go... DON’T. Some feedback I received from a lady that felt I was enabling people to stay cluttered. I address that today.

Some of us are a little stuck... we want to declutter a bit but we have nowhere to send our donations because the donation centers are shut down. So what can we do with our stuff?

Me and my pal Allison came up with a list of 7 ways to get rid of your clutter during this time. Some ideas might work for you and some might not, but we are kind of entertaining to listen to!

(If you have been in the cozy minimalism community for a while, you will know Allison because she managed the decorating group as well as the facebook page).

If you want your home to be clean and tidy but don't want to spend hours and hours cleaning it... this episode is for you! My friend Rae joins me to go over a simple yet effective system she created for her own home. I'm excited to implement this in my own home!

In this episode I will cover the most common myths and misconceptions about minimalists.
