    Minimalist Journaling: A 20-Minute Weekly Practice That Can Change Everything | Erin Loechner (EP425)
    Jan 5 2026

    What if living more intentionally didn’t require a total life overhaul — just 20 minutes a week? In this episode, Erin Loechner shares how a simple journaling practice has shaped her minimalist journey and helped her slow down, clarify her beliefs, and make more intentional daily choices. We talk about letting go of perfection, asking better questions, and using reflection — not productivity — as a tool for meaningful change. If you’re craving more clarity, presence, and simplicity this year, this conversation offers a gentle place to start.

I love everything about this podcast and the previous show minimalist moms. My favorite episodes past and present address increasing time outside/reducing screen time, parenting, people pleasing/boundary setting, and how to declutter individual places in the home and non-physical areas of your life.
