The Inside Story Podcast with April Adams Pertuis


Aug 11, 2021

Clutter is defined as “a collection of things lying about in an untidy mass.” But lately, with all the talk on minimalism and doing away with excess stuff, we’ve come to realize that clutter is more than just the physical and tangible things.

On today’s episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I talk to certified health and wellness coach Heather Aardema about decluttering and focusing on “finding the more in less”.

My conversation with Heather is so enlightening, and I invite you to join us as she shares:

  • How she went from being a self-professed maximalist to a proud minimalist
  • What minimalism means to her, and how it relates to being intentional and paying attention to the more important things
  • Her decision to leave the corporate world to become a health coach, and serve those who wish to live light both physically and emotionally
  • Her favorite quote from Joseph Campbell that is so, so good!! (Hint: it speaks of Stepping into your Brave!)
  • How our surroundings heavily influence our actions and decisions
  • How her FOMO shifted to JOMO and the way it has transformed her life

We gain so much by living simply and only taking on what is important to us and our purpose. And when we shed what is cluttering our minds and our bodies, we find peace, contentment, even freedom. These three are pretty much everyone’s goals -- so isn’t minimalism worth a shot?

It’s never too late to start.
