We live in a culture of more. More toys. More shoes. More jumpsuits buried in the back of the closet. But what happens when you try to break free from the endless cycle of buying, decluttering, and buying again?

This week’s episode takes you inside a self-proclaimed “low-buy summer,” a real-world experiment in owning less and living with more intention. The first half features Diane Boden of Minimalist Moms on how to reset your relationship with stuff—practical hacks like closet tricks, tiny habits, and the emotional archaeology of letting go.

In the second half, we tackle the chaos of kids’ closets with Jackalo founder Marianna Sacks, exploring how fast fashion took over children’s clothing and how parents can push back with sustainability, hand-me-downs, and circular fashion that actually works.
