    In this episode, my guest Kassandra Botkin shares her journey from a non-tech mom to creating an AI-powered tool that helps busy moms save time and reduce mental load. We talk about how AI can be accessible and practical for everyday life, and how we can use it intentionally instead of haphazardly.

  • Distractions that are Keeping You from the Things That Matter with Joshua Becker (Minimal-ish Replay)

    Distractions that are Keeping You from the Things That Matter with Joshua Becker (Minimal-ish Replay)
    2026/10/02
    Today I have another edition of the Minimal-ish Replay series where I'm bringing back episodes from the archives that need a second (or first) listen. Today's replay is with Joshua Becker - it is the second time I had him as a guest on the show and it was a conversation I'll never forget about intentional living. We talked about his book, ⁠Things that Matter: Overcoming Distraction to Pursue a more Meaningful Life.⁠ In his book, Joshua details 8 distractions that keep us from living an intentional life, and in our conversation, we talked in depth about two of those distractions. We cover the distraction of fear and the distraction of technology - two distractions I believe so many of us struggle with.

    Stress Less for the Back to School Season (lunches, school papers, and getting out the door) with Diana Rene - Mid-Week Replay #1
    2026/08/25
    Today's episode is part of a new Minimal-ish Mid-week Replay Series. Now that we've hit 300 episodes, I'm digging into the archives to bring back some of my favorites which I will bring you as an additional episode each week. You'll still get new episodes, but I want to bring my favorites back to the surface, too! It's that time of year when a shift in the routine is coming for many of us. Diana Rene is my guest today, and we're focusing on systems that can simplify some of the most overwhelming parts of the season, like the influx of paper that comes into our homes or the amount of school lunches we have to pack over the next several months. We also talk about simplifying getting out the door in the morning. Stay tuned for our new episode later this week where I'll have "The Nester" as my guest talking about hushing our homes!
