278: Decluttering WITH Your Kids with Deanna Yates
This week on Minimalish, I’m joined by Deanna Yates, the voice behind Wannabe Clutter Free, for a super practical and encouraging conversation about decluttering with your kids.
Deanna shares her own journey into minimalism and offers helpful strategies for making decluttering a normal (and even fun!) part of family life. From age-appropriate tips for getting kids involved, to using children’s books to spark conversations, to handling the unique challenges that come as kids get older—this conversation is full of ideas to help you create more space and peace in your home without constant battles.
If you’ve been feeling stuck in the clutter (or dreading the idea of tackling it with your kids), this episode will give you the tools and perspective to move forward with more patience, creativity, and confidence (and you’ll hear why we actually think back to school season is the perfect time to get started!).

275: Fostering Connection, Independence and Confidence in Our Kids with Nicole Runyon
This week on Minimalish, I’m back with my first guest interview in a while – and I couldn’t think of a better way to start the summer! After wrapping up my long-term sub position at the high school, I’m so excited to get back to conversations that help us live a little more intentionally.
Today, I’m chatting with Nicole Runyon, a former psychotherapist turned parent coach, all about how we can set our families up for a simpler, more connected summer. This conversation is full of helpful, down-to-earth advice to help you feel more confident and grounded heading into summer with your kids at home.
In this episode, we talk about:
Why independence and responsibility is so important (and how to encourage it)
How to navigate technology and set boundaries for different ages
Why boredom is actually good for kids—and how to help them through it
Whether you’re craving more rhythm, rest, or just want to avoid constant power struggles this summer, this episode is for you.
