Do you have too many dishes?


Hey Reader,

Did you know that the number of dishes you need is much smaller than you think. šŸ¤”

I’m still dealing with the mistake of accumulating too many! So I'm asking you to reconsider before buying another souvenir coffee mug. ā˜•ļø

But have you ever thought about How Many Dishes You Really Need?

Start by asking these questions:

  1. How many people live in my house 24/7?
  2. How many people do I frequently entertain?

Hey Reader, Last week, a client shared something all too familiar: she can’t stand working in her home office. Every day, she moves her laptop to the couch or the dining room table—not exactly ideal or ergonomic. When I asked why she avoids her office, I already knew the answer. It’s the family dumping ground. Every drawer is packed with paper. Finding anything important feels like a chore. She even had to reorder her son’s birth certificate—because it vanished into the mess. If paperwork is...

Hey Reader, I had the honor of joining Shannon Leyko on her top-rated show, The Paring Down Podcast—and I’m so excited to share it with you.

We talked about: how advertising shapes what we think we ā€œneedā€ how social media fuels the ā€œnot enoughā€ feeling and how to come back to what really matters—to you This was such a joy to record, and I...
