Manage episode 424763714 series 3579574
What if the stuff you own ends up owning you? Join us on the Clutter Conversation as we chat with Aimee Olsen from Life Done Simply, who shares her remarkable journey from a high-flying career to minimalist living in a cozy 180-square-foot RV. Aimee’s transition from a 1,400-square-foot condo to a minimalist RV lifestyle brings to light the concept of right-sizing—aligning your life with your personal values rather than a fixed number of possessions. Aimee provides a step-by-step guide on decluttering not just your space, but also your time and commitments, emphasizing the importance of annual purges to maintain alignment with your goals.
We dive into the nitty-gritty of minimalist living on the road, discussing everything from resisting marketing temptations to the emotional challenges of letting go of impractical items—like an now-infamous waffle maker. We explore how quality and functionality should always trump sheer quantity, especially when living in a confined space. Tune in to hear personal anecdotes and practical tips on off-grid living, solar power setups, and clever storage solutions that make life simpler and more joyful.
In our final segment, we explore the balance between owning possessions and not letting them own you. Discover Aimee’s favorite travel destinations, the challenges of full-time travel, and how to set up those perfect campfires. We also offer advice for families looking to align their possessions with their values and manage the sentimental aspects of game collections. Join us for an enriching conversation that not only highlights the joys and challenges of simplifying life but also offers practical tips for anyone considering a minimalist lifestyle.
