Addicted!

I SO enjoy listening to these ladies. Helpful and relatable content that’s also enjoyable. Little by little I’m decluttering and letting go of things that no longer serve me.

Incredible Podcast

Are Kelly and Lauren my best friends? Not really, but it feels like they are! I listen almost daily as I’m working through some of the past episodes and I can say that the girls have changed my life for the better.

They offer so many practical, easy to implement solutions and mindset shifts that anyone can apply this work to their lives. Even though I am married and have three kids, I still find so much value in their advice.

I’m also a teacher and I love that this shift in thinking has made its way into my classroom and with my students. I am striving for contentment and simplicity in all areas of my life and hearing the girls chat it all up, is the highlight of my journey.

I seriously love this podcast so much and share it with all of my friends as much as I can! Keep up the incredible work, girls! We’re all rooting for you!
