The same thing happened to me. The less things I have the less cluttered my brain became and it left room for me to realise who I was and what was important. I struggled to declutter the clothes. I now have 13 items. Good quality ones. I’ve literally donated over 160 pieces. Shoes. Bags. Clothes. What I now have I use. I think I can even declutter a few more even. I feel like a weight has been lifted. And ironically I now don’t want to buy things. I realise that if I do that clutter will ‘dull’ my brain again. It’s also helped me to accept myself the way I am. I no longer feel like I need to dye my hair or have my nails done. I am the happiest and most comfortable I’ve ever been. Good luck to everyone on their own specific journey.❤

To me, as a mom especially, it came down to realizing how I was in a certain way, pausing my life by simply not getting dressed for the day... as if being alive and with the people I love wasn't a good enough reason to get myself together in the morning....
I was also sending my inner self the wrong message every day.. like everyday life is not worth the good and best we have.
I went through pregnancy and nursing 6 times in the past 12 years and only with reaching a certain understanding about myself and selfworth, helped me breaking free from many insecurities I was allowing to creep in through comparison.
You're doing such a great job as a young mama, Madi!

I realize that when I was younger and needed lots of clothes in my closet I was insecure, so I needed new things to make me feel better 😅 Now my life has completely transformed ❤. I love your minimalist clothing and how well it works for you.

Today in the UK, in one day, it was warm enough to not need a jumper then cold enough to need a coat, then hail stone and rain and thunder then sun, all within an hour, 5 minutes between them. 🤣

[szfrj]

Beautiful 😍 anybody living in a cold climate, don’t be feeling guilty 😅 I’m still wrapped up in my rain coat, boots, layers hats and scarves…

[katie]

woohoo..100K!! Congratulations; well deserved! Always love your videos!!

[AM-bmxw]

I love what you said about it being about taking care of yourself better and not strictness or deprivation. Thats something I needed to hear, thanks!

[shannonhauser]

Loved this, I re-wear the same few things and I love that I care less and less how I look and focus more on how I feel.

[Nature.nurture.nirvana]

beautiful! I wish so badly I could have a minimalist wardrobe but living in Vermont means 30 one day, 65 the next. Warm and sunny one day, snow the next. love the idea of this, though!

[litame]

I love that you are so mindful to say, don’t feel pressured the items you previewed in this video! But just showed a capsule wardrobe based off your lifestyle and this season God has you in ❤ I have been following you for from beginning and so blessed to see your family and you blossom, grow and empower 🌱

[pamelasimmons]

I really love your clothes. They show your free spirit and gentleness. Although yes it does make me want to do similar, my reality is that I know I'd stain everything and I'm dealing with well water. So it just goes to show that everyone needs to find what works for them.

[tinamcclurg]

I’m choosing to eliminate synthetic clothes and the cotton and wool makes me feel more natural lol 😝
When I put it in parameters that are more carefully chosen I not only found freedom from clutter but mindful on a more sustainable path through this one life I get. So much to learn but starting is a first step. Thanks for everything. Happy baby time !!❤️

[ashleighdavis]

Love this Madi!
I would love a video on natural products you use…
Kids sunscreen, deodorant, dish soap etc.
Ive already been on a minimalist journey and using more natural products, but I dove into the book “Fatal Conveniences” you mentioned in another video and I’m a bit overwhelmed with making more changes!

[sarar]

Love your wardrobe update videos, Congrats on 100k, I found you when you had less than 10k, just shows how living from the heart makes you grow in so many different ways x

[alijane]

I love a capsule wardrobe and having less clothing. I live in a four season country and have struggled with keeping my wardrobe small, but as you said, the number of clothes we have doesn’t matter. And if you love the items that you own, that’s all that counts ❤

[tribeccalife]

Thank you for stating that you hope this doesn't trigger us to go buy anything. It's so refreshing to watch something that maintains my focus and doesn't influence me to buy something but rather change something about myself.

[lauragraham]

Congrats!!! 100k! We LOVE your videos! My daughters and I watch you every week!

[annamacfarlane]

I get so much value from this channel. Seeing the way you live and raise your family is so inspiring. I gave birth to my second child a few weeks ago and she has Down’s Syndrome which we were not aware of during pregnancy. I’m so scared of all the challenges that lie ahead and honestly somehow these videos help me relax a little. Thank you for your honest and simple content.

[Alex.Harward]

Your storytelling is so captivating. I’ve always been inspired by your 10 item wardrobe videos and have used it to customize my own! I learned through the process that during the spring/summer months I really don’t wear more than 10-15 different items, it’s the colder months that get me. But I’m still figuring out what serves me and a happy medium that’s not too much and not too little ☺️

[hannahbentson]

The same happened to me! The less I had the more calm and fulfilled I felt. I was so overwhelmed by all the things I did have bc I just didn’t know I could have less.
