Podcast 000 | Who Are The Minimalists?

[m.peterson]

My husband and I lived in a very expensive area. We watched Ted talks and the minimalists had a profound effect on us. We sold everything we owned and moved halfway across the country to Minnesota and we are happier then ever!! Thank you to the minimalists for inspiring us 😀

In 2010 the stuff went with the kids as the kids emptied the nest, the husband left for his newer model, I short saled our 2300 sq ft house during the housing market crash and I moved to 800 sq ft. This all happened in a 9 month time frame. Since, I've purged stuff, people, attitudes, judgements. Instead I gained a meaningful life, healthy minded people, a closer relationship with my kids, more time for my community, more money to travel and passion to share my journey. A couple years ago Joshua came to Phoenix for Word Tasting. It was inspiring. I've followed your FB and read your blogs and web site for about 5 yrs now. I loved your movie and now I'm joining your pod cast audience because it allows me to multitask and I can listen while I drive. I love you guys. I love your laid back style and unhurried attitude. Thank you for too much to list.

Hi, I'm Leila from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I'm happy because you both speak so well. English is not my first language, but I can understand everything you say. Thank you for that. I am also trying to declutter my home and the minimalist life is a great goal for me.

Thank you very very much you two.

Hello from ND. I found your documentary on Netflix and am hooked! Have watched both documentaries, and found you on Facebook and YouTube.

I started paring down a couple years ago, including moving to a much less expensive house so I was able to cut expenses. I'm still working at purging the excess, and finding gems that I've been looking for for years in my multitude of boxes. It's a process and I love that you know everyone will have different levels and priorities.

For example - I LOVE books and reading and crafting. However, I decided to limit my "collection" to my favorite authors and a few miscellaneous because I reread them. Multiple times. I have purged huge amounts of books I know I'll never read again. With crafts, again I limited the crafts I want to continue and have eliminated the ones I no longer enjoy or want to pursue.

Thank you for sharing your ideas and wisdom!

Yay. So ready for the film. I have been working towards my minimalism journey for a year.

I was so anxious for January because of this! Yes, thank you! Learn how to be happier with less is my main goal for 2016! Thank you xx

Anyone in 2020?? I want to make a connection with the people who are trying to be minimalist. Anyone out there??

[jenniferknowles]

Thank you for starting the podcasts. They are great for company on my way to work, instead of the unintentional radio. I have a question for you both...

I am very good with resisting the urge to shop and buy things, anything really, it isn't a problem, I can talk myself out of things I actually need. However, I don't know what to do where grocery shopping is concerned. If I don't have a budget, I spend (what I deem) too much, and if I do have a budget, I deprive myself. What do you do about food, hunger and greed?

Hope you are both well and having a good day.
