The Summer Simplicity Challenge

Because I feel like I've been overcomplicating things

I don’t know about you… but I feel like a lot of things in life have been overcomplicated.

(I’ve literally talked about it in all of my mini-courses👈🏻 receipts.)

And as we shift into summertime- all I want to do is:

  • breathe

  • relax

  • feel the warm sun on my skin while working in my garden

  • have fun with my kids

  • create projects I fan girl over

  • and keep reading book after book in my backyard

….. And even though I’ve slowed down A LOT in the last few years… sometimes my recovering productivity-obsessed mind can give me a hard time with it.

Loading...

Which is why I’ve started to think- summer feels like a natural time for a reset.

I used to do these mini-audio summits called Simplify My _____.

Like Simplify My Biz or Simplify My Sales.

And remembering that inspired this idea of simplifying my life and a craving to create this container again for myself.

I thought you might want to join in too.


Here’s my plan:

Every 10 days or so I’ll pop in here (audio-journal style) and share:

  • The questions I’m asking myself to declutter my world and lead a more intentional, creative life (as a mom, creative and person)

  • With the journal prompts I’m reflecting on + the next step I’m taking- so you can simplify your life too.

  • PLUS we’ll be chatting it up in the comments with questions, recommendations, feedback, cheerleading and accountability- like a ‘best friends’ group chat you can opt into if you want (without being subjected to the constant notifications pulling you away from your life.)

Because I want to live a RICH CONTENTED LIFE. One grounded in the present with a lot less than modern society has asked of us.

Topics + prompts you can expect:

  • A Simplicity Excavation

    Digging into- why I’m craving simplicity right now?

  • Decluttering My Mind

    Getting intentional with what matters to me right now in this season and using that clear the clutter and those “shoulds” from my mind. Quieting my mental to-do list so I can recover from ‘productivity all the time’ overload.

  • Letting Life Be Easy- Reimagining My Day + Routines

    After the declutter I then want to infuse what matters to me into rhythms that support vs. deplete me. Releasing stress, overplanning, and pressure throughout my days for slow, letting go and letting it be.

  • A Creative Reset

    With a schedule change in our unschooling world- I want to intentionally find a time for my creativity. Making sure I come to it as a source of joy, not output.

  • Finding Peace with What Is

    Gratitude and presence practices

  • Infusing Fun + Lightness

    Figuring out how in the world I can bring more childlike wonder and fun into everyday life (not necessarily my set point.)

  • Reclaiming My Identity

    Letting go of the pressure to be everything all the time. Beyond the roles and titles — coming home to me.

  • My Simpler Self

    Identifying a simpler kind of life and motherhood and how I’ll integrate these prompts moving forward.

My goal by the end of this “challenge” is to:

  • Strip back/declutter the unnecessary noise

  • Infuse child-like fun into my days (vs. the uptight mom character I can sometimes play)

  • Find gratitude and peace with what’s in front of me

  • So I can ultimately live with a more intentional balanced identity.
