About Me: msha.ke/madisungray

It's crazy to think back on my story with minimalism but here it is! If you're new here, welcome! I'm Madi, creating videos about minimalism and slow living every Wednesday. In my videos you will see my minimalist home, my capsule wardrobe, decluttering, inspiration for slow living with kids, intentional living, minimalist finances, things I no longer buy, things I no longer own, things I buy more of as a minimalist, and just overall my passion and inspiration for simple living!

    Where can you remove the excess? Thank you so much for the support!
  • @snowfoxxie
    I try to own only things that bring me joy each day and keep them dust free and very clean. When I clean I practice gratitude and thank the things I own individually -even the floors or walls keeping me safe and warm. I even thank the toilet 😂 This practice helped me a lot to not just clean but feel more abundant, grateful and happier.

    I deleted social media. I don't feel like I have to show off my life to others
  • @itsnoterica
    I’m in the early stages of decluttering & I already got rid of 5 HUGE trash bags worth of stuff. I still have a very long way to go but I already feel so much lighter it’s incredible
  • One thing I love about all the minimalism videos I find online is that it gives me hope for a future where as a whole we can agree that material things we have worked so hard for are not what life us truly about. We don't have to live life the way we have been conditioned to think we have to. Love this.
  • My mother is a hoarder. I am a minimalist. I am 72 and she is 93. So for 72 years, I have dealt with her mess. She has been in a care home for the last three years. I hoped the care home would mean the end of the hoarding. But, she has managed to fill her room to the brim with anything that she can get her hands on. I can't deal with the mess anymore! I understand that hoarding is a mental illness. So sad that she never got the help she needed to deal with letting go of stuff. I am so thankful everyday that somehow my mind works differently.
  • Wish my spouse would dare to vision and think about living an alternativet lifestyle. I would love to leave the high-speed, stressfull society. Thank you for a good video. I'm happy for you 😊
  • I love this! We got rid of everything and even ended up selling our home to live nomadically in our RV. People dont even realize how sucked in to the “norm” they are and soul crushing and planet wrecking this “norm” is.. I know I didnt realize this until we pulled out and finally felt freedom. RVing and living minimally saved my life and gave my family unity. The “American Dream” is being sold as the right and best way to live but really, its just a way to control the masses, to keep them working like little worker bees keeping the queen (whoever that might be) nice and fat.
  • This is amazing. We recently moved from over a 3000 sq ft home to one right under 900 sq ft. We have been in our new home for 6 months. It’s been an adjustment, but it has been the best decision. We are so much happier

    Awesome. Great for you and your family. We did something similar 8 years ago. Not to the level that you did, but we sold our high end suv, sports car, motorcycles, house, rental house, ALL of the excess (as you mentioned). We paid off all of our debt, then bought a simple house, quit our careers, started a small business, and 8 years later we have maintained this simpler life. We work 3-4 days per week, and spend time together doing things that bring our family closer. That is living life. It was scary at first, but we soon realized an invisible weight was released with each item we got rid of. Will never go back
  • I have 6 kids so I spent soooo much time cleaning this is one reason simply was necessary in our house. Now I'm working on all of the other areas.
  • @bentrider
    Nice video. Although I live a minimalist lifestyle and have for many years, I realize that minimalism isn't for everyone. Just because I enjoy it doesn't mean others don't enjoy their particular lifestyle just as much.
  • @Dana_Bellamy
    My husband and I have six kids and we have given away everything except what we could fit in our suitcases as we moved overseas. We've done this multiple times over the course of our marriage as we moved from the USA to Australia and back. Each time it was so liberating. I loved watching this video. I am like you. I want to keep the most important things as the most important. I don't want to value the frivolous things that society values. Family and relationships are everything.
  • @Anoneymouse
    I have always had a huge disconnect to what I "own" and have never had issues to have less and get rid of things. Only on rare occasions do I get upset with myself for getting rid of one thing lol like my favorite pair of overalls that I didn't feel I needed anymore that one day. I battle with my husband and kids though constantly on having material objects. I'm more of a slow living and looking forward to each healthy meal type of girl. A book, banana, hammock, tea/coffee and music is all I really need and that all could fit in a backpack.
  • @rachelc586
    I started this life style 5 years ago and it changed my life for the better. It makes you appreciate what u do have in life....even small things 😊👌
  • Thank you! I come from a family of horders, I inherited family heirlooms and some junk. I can’t tell you how difficult this journey of getting rid of unnecessary things has been for me! I praise you for being able to do this!
  • @jessika3288
    "Whatever helps us process emotional events, we don't have time for". Wow that really hit accurately. Powerful video. Thanks for sharing!
  • We just did this! We're living in a bus after spending a solid year decluttering and downsizing. It was a HARD year, but SOOO worth it. We're so excited to spend time together and not have the clutter ruling our lives. 💜 best wishes for you all! We subscribed :)
  • @NaomiKrepfle
    I lost everything I own, down to two outfits and one purse (completely that’s all.) Now I am starting over minimal style!
  • Love this! I have been clearing out so many things before our third baby comes because I have realized that a lot of physical stuff takes away from quality time with my babies. I love your videos because they help me focus on what is really important too me and make it easier to let things go. 🥰
