Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Shannon is so fun to listen to and I love her natural way of talking. It’s like having a conversation with a friend. I follow mostly for the decluttering tips and tricks but in a recent episode she was talking about a parenting tip. She mentioned singing when she was frustrated to keep her from yelling at her kids. I tried it and it is a game changer! Such a cool trick that helps everyone keep calm.

I really live Shannon Leyko’s approach to decluttering. Full minimalism is austere and the 20/20/20 rule is one of privilege and waste, but Leyko talks through ways to declutter that leave your house and life alive but free of too much. And rather than “environmentalism” (which is great) she brings us back to the point: leaving our home (house and planet) in a state fit for our children and their children.

She breaks things down in a way that you could follow. Her advice is very practical and motivating.

I love Shannon’s approach to minimalism and decluttering! Her suggestions are relatable and accessible, and I love her podcasting style and voice that shines through each episode. 10/10 recommend!!
