6. Minimalism or perhaps Conscious Consumption: Simplifying life with intention.

Tower Healing

In this episode we talk about minimalism and decluttering our home, the impacts it can have on our life and how to get started. I talk about where I've struggled, what I've tried and my mindset through the process. It can be as simple as starting small and be patient and kind with yourself, you know what's best.
