What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

As a mom of four, I’m always looking for ways to simplify life and make more room for what truly matters. I love how practical, honest, and relatable this podcast is. I’ve walked away from so many episodes with simple ideas I can actually use in everyday mom life. Highly recommend!

Emotionally Healthy Legacy · Aug 2026

This podcast covers so many topics and always with the thread of intentional living and doing life with less. I have 2 teenagers at home and 2 in college and still benefit from the topics and interviews Diane does. I especially enjoy the Bonus episodes. Thanks Diane!

The Robinsons! · May 2026

I love how concise this podcast is. Knowing that busy moms might only have 20 minutes to listen to something, each episode feels very to the point and relevant. I especially love the faith based topics but also enjoy that many of the episodes can be of interest to anyone.

Desert Mom Katie · Apr 2026

This podcast is everything I ever needed to feel like I could be strong in this parenting journey of 5 kids, a husband with ADHD and add an aging mom that refuses to look at her clutter mess dead on and in living more minimally. On my way here ( to New Zealand), my luggage got lost, and I suddenly had the idea to use my travel insurance to buy a new wardrobe. At first I was so irritated that I had to shop for clothes, but I was listening to one of your episodes while I was in the store, and it really helped shape my perspective about what kind of clothes I should buy. One detail I didn’t mention is that my suitcase was actually filled with clothes I had cleaned out of my closet to donate. So in a way, I was going to be replenishing my wardrobe anyway. What ended up happening was pretty amazing! I bought six items and was able to reinvent them into six additional outfits. So while I’m here in New Zealand, I’m able to wear at least 14 different outfits from just those pieces. Diane, you have no idea what a gem you have been to me. Your podcast has been such a comfort while I’m away from home and navigating a lot of transitions in my life. I truly hope I get to meet you someday and tell you in person how meaningful it has been that you chose to record and share this work. 🫶🏾

BonusMommyMinimalist · Mar 2026

I used to really like this podcast but I’ve noticed in the last two years, there is a clear shift in Diane’s content. It’s moving away minimalist lifestyle content and more pseudo science, Christian religion, home schooling, trad wife style info. The most recent example is the MAHA based doctor interview. It’s well known that the RFK based studies are not based on real science. I can’t listen any longer due to the clear bias.
