Minimalist Moms Podcast | Simple Living for Overwhelmed Moms

Join me today with author, Christy Wright as we discuss time management, priorities, and balance in motherhood. As a busy mom with three young kids and a career, Christy knows how chaotic life can be - how balance feels like something that can never be achieved, no matter how hard you try. In her latest book, Take Back Your Time: The Guilt-Free Guide to Life Balance, Christy argues that balance doesn't come from getting more done. It’s about doing the right things at the right time. Links Discussed in This Episode |Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityConnect with Christy:WebsiteInstagramAbout Christy |Christy Wright is the #1 national bestselling author of Business Boutique, Take Back Your Time, and Living True as well as multiple annual Goal Planners.

For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes with unique topics that may not interest my wider audience so if this topic doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation about decluttering self-talk that you don't want to miss!Busy moms often have trouble with their digestive health. What could be a possible culprit? One possibility is the pantry. We find ourselves running into issues: feeling bloated, uncomfortable in our favorite clothes, and left not knowing how to navigate this health space in a way that works for our bodies. On today’s bonus episode, Leeann Rybakov joins me to discuss ways that the pantry is contributing to digestive health issues and how to swap out for healthier options! Even just "minimizing" the ingredients (knowing what should stay and what should go) list can be a game changer!Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicitySubstack: Minimalist Moms Podcast Connect with Leeann:Pantry SwapsWebsiteInstagramEpisode Sponsors |The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors.
