Lately, everything has felt like… too much.
Too many activities.
Too many Amazon boxes.
Too many decisions.
Too many tabs open in our brains.
In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Seferian, host of the Sustainable Minimalists and author of Sustainable Minimalism, to talk about what minimalism actually looks like in midlife.
Not the white-wall, aesthetic version.
The nervous system version.
We explore:
• Why our generation struggles with overconsumption
• The pressure to over-gift and over-schedule our kids
• How social media quietly fuels “more”
• What white space does to your energy
• Why your tolerance for chaos drops in your forties
• And how protecting your capacity might be the most radical shift of this phase
Because minimalism in midlife isn’t about decluttering.
It’s about asking:
Why am I carrying so much in the first place?
If you’ve been craving more space — in your home, your calendar, or your brain — this conversation will feel like an exhale.
