    Solo: Come Home to Yourself Through Minimalism

    Have you ever cleared the clutter from your home, only to realize there was deeper clutter within you? In this solo episode, Kelly shares a short personal essay called Coming Home to Myself Through Minimalism. In this reflective piece, Kelly explores how minimalism has helped her let go of more than physical clutter, creating the space to notice old beliefs, self-doubt, worry, and the thoughts we often try to avoid. She shares how embracing a more intentional way of living has helped her become more aware of her inner world, release what no longer serves her, and feel lighter, freer, and more grounded. Be inspired to reflect on your own inner clutter, create more space to hear yourself clearly, and consider how minimalism may help you come home to yourself, too.

    How Our Spaces Help Us Thrive with Leidy Klotz

    Are your spaces supporting you or stressing you? If you have ever noticed that you feel calmer, clearer, or more like yourself in certain places, and more mentally cluttered in others, this conversation will explain why and help you become more intentional about your spaces and where you spend your time. Kelly is joined for a second time by international bestselling author, scientist, and professor of engineering and architecture, Leidy Klotz, to discuss his new book, In a Good Place. Leidy shares how our environments can either support us or work against us, and breaks this down through three core psychological needs we all share: agency, competence, and connection. Together, Kelly and Leidy explore what it looks like when a space supports these needs, and what happens when it does not. They also talk about practical ways to make your spaces feel more intentional without buying more, how to create a sense of agency in places that may feel out of your control, and how to think about spaces as containers of meaning, especially when decluttering, grieving, or renovating. As you listen, you will be invited to reflect on your own surroundings and ask: are these spaces helping me feel grounded and supported, or are they weighing me down? Be inspired to look at your spaces with fresh eyes, simplify what is no longer serving you, and make small, meaningful shifts that help you feel lighter, more capable, and more at home wherever you are.

    What's Essential to You? With Greg McKeown

    What is truly essential in your life, and what might you be holding onto that no longer deserves your time, energy, or attention?

This snippet comes from Episode 85, where Greg McKeown, two-time New York Times bestselling author, shares insights from his bestselling book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less.
