78: Addressing the Mental Load of Clutter with Dr. Morgan Cutlip
"What if our partner says they'll do something, but they don't follow through?"
"How do we get our partners to care about all the details of home/family management?"
These are just two of the questions I ask relationship expert and author Dr. Morgan Cutlip on today's episode of Paring Down.
"The mental load" is a big term getting a lot of attention these days because it's an important component to healthy, happy relationships. Clutter can feel like one big "to-do" list, and if we shoulder the responsibility for dealing with it by ourselves, it's recipe for resentment and disconnection in our relationship.
In today's episode, relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip shares about her new book "A Better Share: How Couples Can Tackle the Mental Load for More Fun, Less Resentment, and Great Sex," coming out April 15th. I think you'll love her positive yet realistic take.

76: Is Celebrity Self-Help Advice Useful? with Jim Oliver
Introducing my brother, Jim Oliver!! We talk about losing our mom 12 years ago, and what that has meant for both of us in terms of living our lives with clear intention - even though that intentionality looks different between the two of us.
Jim also shares about his fascinating career as a booking agent for celebrities and major motivational speakers, offering us insight to how to make the most of "self-help," along with answering my questions about the potential underbelly of the self-help industry.

75: Minimalism Hot Takes
The beautiful part about intentional living is that we get to decide what resonates with us and what doesn't. Not all advice is for everyone, and that's A-okay.
In that spirit, there seem to be some generally-accepted viewpoints in the minimalism and decluttering world that I, personally, disagree with. So here are some of my hot takes! From sparking joy to the 20/20 rule...I have thoughts!

74: Removing the Chaos from Our Email Accounts & Desktops with Shawn Lemon
Ready for some truly practical help that will change your daily life?
Shawn Lemon of The Digital Organizer delivers just that in today's episode as he shares with us practical steps we can take to make our email accounts, desktop, and digital storage less chaotic and far more streamlined.
I personally was so motivated after our conversation that I went to town on my own digital spaces as soon as our interview ended, and can say - without being dramatic - that his simple, understandable approach changed my life. I open email and my computer and feel like a new person.
I hope you will, too, when you're done listening to this episode and taking the easy steps to implement his advice into your life!
