What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Discovering Minimalist Moms has been such a blessing to me in my current stage of motherhood. Diane is genuine and someone I would want to be friends with in real life. I really appreciate that she doesn’t pretend of he “perfect” at minimalism. She also takes time during many episodes to point out ways listeners could consider incorporating just one thing a guest has suggested into their own lives - I’ve been able to learn so much without feeling overwhelmed. As a Christian, I love a lot of her “bonus” episodes too! 100% recommend this podcast for any parent, or even grandparents!

Lissa5 · Jun 2025

I have been listening to Diane for quite a few years. I love her genuine interest in learning more and sharing what she finds with her listeners. I have really loved her rebranding of clear intentions. It really fits well!

Kris Leigh 88 · Apr 2025

By far one of my favorite podcasts- maybe it is my actual favorite! Combines all the things: motherhood or parenthood, decluttering, minimalism, and now “clear intentions”. Great topics, interesting and relatable conversations, guests from all walks of life- give Clear Intentions a listen, you won’t be disappointed!

theMrsSV · Apr 2025

Diane is a creative and thoughtful host who continues to bring on excellent guests! I’m so grateful I found this show and connection with this community of people committed to living intentional lives. Easy listening to help you reflect and reset your day.
