Becoming The Minimal Mom (Podcast Ep. 12)

Thank you so much for listening and could I ask a favor? Would you mind subscribing? It helps YouTube recommend this podcast to more friends. Thank you! Dawn

We will likely never meet, but you have changed my life. Thank you.

I’ve watched you for three years now and it feels like you are a friend. Thank you for all you do.

I’d love to hear how you met and decided to work with Cas and Dana. It’s such a fantastic collaboration and the warmth between you all is lovely. What’s your origin story?

Hi! On Thursday I will be 79 and the only reason I mention it is because it’s never too late to declutter and become a minimalist. Your videos have been immeasurably helpful for me on my journey. You are a delight to listen to. Many thanks.

I am in Australia and between Minimal Mom and Rusty Judgement I visit with your family twice a week. I literally don't see some family this frequently. You have made a material difference in my life, and as a consequence the lives of my husband and sons. If mum is happy, everybody is happy. Thank you Dawn, I love you and thank God for you. ❤

I love your youtube! I am a 66 year old wife, mother and grandma and I am still trying to become more efficient in my house,..you and Cass the clutterbig are such an encouragement to me! Thanks!!

Your dream house came true! I love your entire journey story. God is so good. I can see His hand throughout your life.

Your natural speaking talent and skills makes you so enjoyable and easy to listen to. Excited for your new channel!

Just found your channel Dawn a few months ago in a time when I was feeling overwhelmed. I watched "Your stuff is making you sick" and I just sat there in awe and cried. At that moment, I felt like you were speaking directly to me.. and i realized all of my anxiety over the last year was stemming from and excess of STUFF. I was tired of managing it all, and when you said that every item is telling you something (clean this, put that up, paint this, build that) I looked around my house with new eyes and thought "We have WAY too much and I'm simply DONE with managing it all!" There's 2 of us (weren't able to have children but we have a niece and nephew that come stay with us often) and we have 3 FULL sets of dishes, we have decor that I've never liked, we have triplicates of tons random things like emergency car blankets (not in the car btw but in our laundry room 🙄🤣). And this truly is the first time I'm making the connection between my anxiety/depression and the sheer volume of THINGS we have! Thank you Dawn for your amazing content 🧡 I am genuinely blessed to have come across your channel!

Also, in one of your videos some months ago you mentioned without any detail how you explained to your family that not helping with cleaning chores they would be charged a cleaner’s fee if you had to it for them. I’d love to hear more about this. It’s a clever way to illustrate the value of your time and that everyone has responsibilities around the house.

Love this!! “And then I met Tom”…there’s a much better story to that! 😜

You're work is my life-saver. Thank you!! I'm raising my granddaughter and everybody is always giving her gifts! Really - everybody, my other daughters in laws, our neighbors, folks at school - I guess it's their way to help a little girl deal with loss. It's nice that she's blessed with this generosity. Thank goodness I came upon your videos years ago and we have a system for dealing with her toy abundance! You saved my sanity!! Thank you! Much love - Gramma Carla

So glad you are doing this!! Your story is so inspiring, and perfect body-doubling while I clean up. 😊

Hi Dawn I really love your YouTube channel. You speak eloquently and have a comforting, calming voice. I have tried so many ways to simplify my life and you are the only one who has literally saved me from drowning.❤ 🙏🏽thank you so much words cannot explain how grateful I am for your existence ❤️❤️

Keeping this comment minimal: you are genuine,realistic ,extremely helpful and joy shows on your face that comes from a joyful heart! Thankyou!

Love you and your message! You are one of my biggest role models and your advice has made a huge impact on my current state of mind. Honestly I'm so happy to have found this community!

Dawn, I have watched you since the beginning. I had 4 kids then, I’m now pregnant with our 9th. You have helped me realize I’m just managing to much stuff. I have decided that this is the year that we become a large family minimalist family. 😂 it feels very overwhelming but I watch your videos everyday. You are such a blessing. Thank you.

New Subcriber from TN. I have learned so much from you and other channels. We became Debt Free in 2020. We started deculttering in 2018. We sold and threw away so much STUFF. We are still doing it. I was able to retire from being a Hairdresser after 33 years. With 1 income, we are actually saving money now. Thank you so much! Rhonda 💚👩🏼‍🌾💚
