Mollie of This EverGreen Home talks about breaking the dependency to her phone
Episode 2700: Breaking the Dependency to My Phone by Mollie of This EverGreen Home
Mike and Mollie met in college. They both arrived a week early for their freshman year at Messiah College for a grueling week of cross-country camp.
Between logging endless miles on the trails and getting to know his teammates, Mike took a noticing to Mollie. It would be months before she truly noticed him. Well, at least in the way he hoped to be noticed by her.
Over a decade later, they are now married with 3 wonderful offspring: Sophie, Leo, & Milo.
Mollie enjoys all aspects of family life. She homeschools their oldest daughter and has a flourishing family photography business. She especially likes taking pictures of newborns.
Mike has a career in digital marketing, enjoys playing softball, and loves to read. He likes to keep himself busy with a handful of side projects at any given time (currently working on Indoor Marketplace and Kairos University). But mostly, he’s just a guy who loves his family and laughing with friends.
While Mike & Mollie are serious about having fun and enjoying each day, their highest aim is to live a life filled with meaning and purpose. This blog follows their journey of living simply and intentionally in order to create more space for the things that matter most.

Rachel Jones of Nourishing Minimalism talks about the clutter-depression-anxiety cycle
Episode 2699: The Clutter-Depression-Anxiety Cycle: How to Stop It by Rachel Jones
Rachel started her journey to minimalism in 2008, struggling with depression and horribly embarrassed by the messy state of her home.
Her goal for pursuing minimalism was to find contentment and joy in spending time with family and being able to focus on Christ. What she found was that minimalism wasn’t the answer. But it is a tool to use to help you focus on what’s important.
Her mission is to help others turn their home into their own personal oasis.
Having found an immense amount of freedom with minimalism, it's her goal to share the methods of simplifying and the tools that she had to rely on (and still does!) to maintain a home that is easy to take care of and a joyful space to live.

Mark Manson shares his thoughts on minimalism. This is part 2 of 2.
Episode 2697: [Part 2] Minimalism by Mark Manson
Mark Manson was a full-time professional dating coach for men from 2008 until 2011. Sick of the industry, he wrote his first book, Models: Attract Women Through Honesty, and changed the name and focus of his business to address broader self-development topics for men. The book took off, selling tens of thousands of copies. As he branched out into deeper issues of masculinity, self-worth, and the changing cultural landscape, the site grew.
By 2013, he had begun writing about larger cultural issues — gender relations, happiness, ambition, life purpose, and cultural perspectives he had gathered while living in various countries around the world. Despite the fact that the business was still directed at men, thousands of women began reading and asking for advice as well.
That same year, he made the leap to his own site and domain, broadening the demographics of his audience. The site exploded, garnering millions of views each month.
Check out his book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F--- on his site or Amazon.

Courtney Carver of Be More With Less talks about what to toss when decluttering your kitchen
Episode 2691: Declutter Your Kitchen By Tossing These 10 Things by Courtney Carver
Courtney Carver was stopped in her tracks with a scary MS diagnosis after decades of debt, discontent, and trying to do it all. She had to slow down, prioritize her health, and figure out what was really important in her life. She discovered what mattered most by getting rid of everything that didn’t matter at all. In the end it all came down to love and health.
She went from a busy, overwhelmed advertising director to spending 2-3 hours every morning taking care of herself, loving her work, and being present and engaged with the people she loves. Her family changed, too. They moved from wanting bigger closets, nicer furniture, and more stuff to downsizing into a 750 sq. ft apartment with no storage.
Courtney has written books, courses, and hundreds of articles to help you simplify your life and work so you can focus on what really matters.
