Mindful Gift-Giving: More Joy, Less Stress | Rachelle Crawford (EP421)
This week, I’m joined by Rachelle Crawford—author of Messy Minimalism and creator of Abundant Life with Less—to talk about simplifying holiday gift-giving. Rachelle shares practical, clutter-free ideas for kids and adults, from hands-on toys and meaningful experiences to useful, intentional gifts that won’t end up in the donation pile. We also discuss how to protect your time during the busy season and drop traditions that no longer serve your family.

I only want to recommend brands that I believe may help you in your daily life. As always, never feel pressured into buying anything. Remember: if you don't need it, it's not a good deal!
