Episode 3331:

Antonia Colins shares her journey of balancing her love for collecting with a minimalist lifestyle, emphasizing that minimalism isn't about deprivation but intentionality. She encourages us to focus on keeping items that bring joy and value, rather than adhering strictly to reducing possessions. This approach allows for a personalized, fulfilling minimalist lifestyle that aligns with individual values and priorities.

Quotes to ponder:

"When I understood the ‘why’ I began to feel more comfortable in getting rid of some things and keeping others (like my elephants)."

"Minimalism is meant to have a positive impact, not spoil my fun and enjoyment of things!"

"The Minimalist lifestyle isn’t just about the stuff in your home. It’s about personal choice and intention."
