Ever fantasized about setting a match to all the toys scattered across your living room floor? You're definitely not alone. That overwhelming feeling of drowning in stuff is precisely what led Julia Ubbenga – mother of five, minimalist living coach, and author – to radically transform her family's relationship with possessions.
The relentless clutter of toys, clothes, and household items can transform parenting from a joy to a constant struggle with stuff management. Julia shares her journey from shopping addiction to simplified living, offering practical strategies for decluttering both our physical spaces and our inner lives.
• The state of our homes frequently reflects the state of our souls – creating physical space can lead to spiritual and emotional freedom
• Starting your decluttering journey by identifying which areas cause you the most stress rather than arbitrary starting points
• Taking a middle ground approach to minimalism – testing what you can live without before permanently letting go
• Addressing gift-giving with family
• Minimalism teaches children generosity, contentment, and that abundant life doesn't require abundant stuff
