LIVE Webinar - Minimalism: How owning less changed our lives.

Minimalism will look different for every family; our version is more "Minimal-ISH."
I'll help you decide how you want YOUR home to serve YOUR family, and how it will change with your family's different seasons.

In this one-hour webinar (+ 30-minute LIVE Q&A):

I'll show you how to:
- Change the way to think of your home and its purpose.
- List the unexpected life-changing benefits of owning less.
- I'll show you just how we tackled it and how we've maintained for 10 years

Don't worry - the process is broken down into easy (ADHD-friendly) steps you can put into action right away.
