ABOUT A TO ZEN LIFE
Along my journey to let go of 30 years of clutter, I accidentally became a minimalist and it was life-changing.

Before, I was an emotional hoarder with nothing but the clutter from lost loved ones — and $25,000 of debt — to my name. Now I have a beautiful home in Europe, a happy family, live debt-free, and — best of all — wake up to a life that I’m EXCITED to live every day.

Thank you, Marissa! I discovered your channel over the last few months and you have become a favorite creator. I really appreciate all that you share and how you share it. Much appreciated. In this video, I enjoyed how you explained your reasoning AND plan for dealing with each adjustment. Wishing you and your family blessings in 2023!!

Holy cow that audio difference is huge! The echo never bothered me by the way but that comparison was fabulous!

[mariaclaraps]

You have no echo anymore 🎉🎉🎉 I'm so happy, because I love your content but the echo made it impossible for me to watch much 😅 That's excellent now

I also took advantage of the free 3-month trial from Audible, and my first book was Atomic Habits! It is an incredible book! It is helping me to set up "routines" that are saving me so much time. And habit-stacking makes new habits so much easier!

[Lola.sweets]

Audio is awesome! Although I was never phased by the echoes but yay!

[maribethnewell]

Omg YES to the sushi making video Marissa!!! My 13 yr old daughter would definitely watch that video with me. We 💜 sushi

[Sisters.]

Yeah for sushi video! Looking forward to it! Thanks!

When you were talking about the Staub Pan - I was wondering if you „broke it in“. Staub products are most probably cast iron and they work way better if you do the „oiling process“ before using it. (Really not sure about the right usage of words here in English - so please don’t judge guys 😅) 🤔 cast iron tends to take a long time to get hot for sure and then retain the heat longer on medium heat - so I would be on your side with the „nothing if you want to do something quick for yourself or three children 😅.
This year I am more focused on using stuff up whilst not repurchasing. Otherwise I would have joined the no buying/drinking Alkohol.
Enjoyed the video. 😊

All good tips. I'd like to see the video about making sushi. TY

[enchantinglysimple]

I would love to see a what I eat in a day, and learn to make sushi! Also any food related content you want to post I am here for!

[sandraanthamatten]

Once you learn how to make sushi, could you please make a video about how to do it? I would love to learn as well. Thank you!!

[ariellelewis]

Oh my goodness, YEEESSS! I would LOVE to learn how to make sushi from a master sushi chef! Our family would save so much money.

We would also love any secrets he has to getting the sushi grade fish, since that can be hard to find.

[wandaromero]

Love all your videos! Would love to see how to make sushi! ❤

[samanthahemingway]

Yes please to 'how to make sushi at home'.

[philippatill]

Congrats on the echo. And you can buy beanbag beans?! This is amazing!

[veronikab]

Yes, (vegan) sushi and Korean sushi sounds amazing!! 🤩

[aprillauman]

Yes!! All the sushi making lessons!! 🍣 🍱

[noelcarter]

I would love to see you learn how to make sushi from home ❤

Never spend $$$$ money on non stick pans. They cannot last. America's Test Kitchen does a how many eggs you can fry before sticking starts test. Some are better than others but all will fail fairly quick. Save your money.

Proud of you for doing 1 year no alcohol!!!🤩🥳 I just turned 36 on January 1st. And come April it will be 10 years that I quit drinking! I had alcoholic parents growing up and my father commited suicide when he was drunk. I was only 14. My mother still drinks and it’s a shame. She has no relationship with her daughters or grandchildren. My older sisters and I all don’t drink. We learned it isn’t worth the temporary fun.
