Miscellaneous
Military life often lends itself to clutter – we keep a lot of things “just in case” we get stationed somewhere we’ll need them. Or we have trouble letting go of all the military memorabilia we pick up after each tour. Maybe family members who can’t spend time with us due to distance make up for it with (maybe excessive) gift-giving, and we struggle with guilt when those gifts just aren’t our thing. In this episode, we talk to Stephanie, a professional minimalist who helps military families identify the purpose their possessions serve, and down-size those things that aren’t working towards that purpose. Stephanie walks us through her process and lots of incredible, practical tips. She really digs deep into the roots of why we keep things, why we can’t let them go, and how we should think about our possessions in an often chaotic, unpredictable military life.
