- These are all my best tips from deciding to embrace a lower-stress life 5 years ago. I've been slowing down, minimizing and learning lots about myself in the process. I hope this video leaves you with some fast-acting relief that you can apply to your own life today!
So grateful for the kind of women who find this channel.
I love reading your comments, and emails!
Big love as always,
Madi

If you're new here, welcome! I'm Madi, I'm passionate about helping women live life that's truly life, not just life as everyone says it should be. I love creating videos about minimalism and slow living and upload them often enough. 💫
In my videos you will see my minimalist home, my capsule wardrobe, decluttering, inspiration for slow living with kids, intentional living, minimalist finances, things I no longer buy, things I no longer own, things I buy more of as a minimalist, and just overall my passion and inspiration for simple living!

I am in the middle of my healing phase. I just quit my job as a professor to become a nanny. While I did not pursue entrepreneurialism, nannying for a good family has allowed me to live slowly while I am at work and feel all the oxytocin from caring for a child. I have started to love my life more than I have in years. This decision was inspired by your videos, so thank you ❤
I have done the same thing and have found the same reward!!! Although, I only work one day a week or less (which is not sustainable), but it is highly rewarding. I am so happy I found your comment. Being a nanny makes my soul sing again… I was a nanny before I chose to “adult” in this world. I realize now, I chose wrong, but now want to make it right. I’m healing too, and I hope we come out a new woman ❤
This wonderful,I’m currently a stay at home mom .
Im planning to get a daycare license for when my kids are older later.
I want to work with small children daily.
I also took care of my 4 siblings from when I was 8 to 22 years old I love kids.
Omg I did the same thing 9 years ago!
“You control because you don’t feel safe” hit that one, tears are flowing. Keep speaking to those deeper fears of how they play out in life. Whew!
“Normal people are not happy” “It’s time to start savoring your food” 😳Word! Love this video! Thank you! 💜
Making a home is one of the most noble gifts we balance
Girl, you have no idea how perfect this timing was.
ah so so happy to hear that
Was literally spending a good chunk of the morning ruminating on how I wanted to get rid of this unwanted energy of stressing about the world and I needed the softness of this video❤
@@C0smicdaisy we're so connected!
“It’s time to start eating again. Can we end there” ahhhh I love that! And giggled cuz man, this shiz is tough to hear at times
11:25 “It’s not gonna look normal.” This hit home for me. That’s been one reason it’s been hard to live this unconventional lifestyle. Everyone expects me to live like them and do the 9-5 and be stressed and always go, go, go. It’s hard when people just don’t understand this is actually what I want and it’s good for me. I need to accept that in today’s modern age, it’s not normal and that’s ok.
This! Exactly this! I had a television for 17 years even though I have never watched it. Everyone told me I couldn’t get rid of it….everyone has a tv. So I kept it. Paid the tv bill (UK license) £2500 I’ve wasted. Never switched it on once. Everyone lectures me about having a kindle because I read. I got a kindle. I hated it. I love books. Now everyone is telling me I need an air fryer. I don’t want an air fryer or a bread maker or a mixer. I do things by hand and just in the oven. I don’t need all the clutter. I’m finally learning to say no. I don’t like or need these things. I’m happy being the way I am. People still struggle to let me be but it’s improving because I’m certain of myself now I’m older. Respect peoples wishes and let them be.❤😊
@@Chrissyhappy ooh, I like your examples! I totally agree with you!
Madi you nailed it! What I love so much about your videos is you don’t give a list for everyone to follow you give practical real life examples of where disorder in your personal life caused chaos and harm. That healing process of re- prioritizing can be difficult but so worthwhile if we allow ourselves the room to be like a little child learning to do something for the first time. We all need grace and you are so gracious with giving grace and love in an area where someone could feel like a total failure. There is no failing. There is only ever growth! ❤
Madi, I found your channel just a few months ago. I don't do social media and not much on youtube. Your channel is the only thing I'm wanting to receive right now. Except a few pretty gardening channels. Trying to live light. I have to finally leave you a comment because your content is part of my healing and I am loving you. My husband was taught people pleasing from childhood. The thing about people pleasing is you don't know that's what it is. And so I "learned" it too. I am realizing this. I have been a mother for 13 years, I have three boys, have always homeschooled, and have invested my heart and soul. I have savored every moment, and yet I have slowly realized that really I've been in survival mode for so very long. I have worked for years to naturally manage adrenal fatigue and high cortisol has actually harmed my hormones and liver/gallbladder. It's all connected! I eat clean and am natural minded. So I can 100% see how it's stress that harms more than anything. Working to heal completely. It's a delicate act because we can even stress about healing. (Currently I am trying to minimize my house more and with three wide open boys and my husband's odd work schedule I'm feeling it.) You encourage calm and I appreciate that and just wanted to say so!
The dark chocolate tastes different when you're not running around your kitchen doing a million things.....oh I gasped and laughed because i do that! I don't even taste it! Thank you for this one-really hit home in a lot of ways. I'm still trying to believe that when I let go of what really is not for me, that I really will still be there on the other side of it and maybe more recognizable to myself than I can even imagine.
Your videos absolutely inspire me in my current journey. I see so many things about goal planning, achievement, work hard, push, etc. But to see someone talking openly and more deeply on how our feminine energy loves to receive and slow down and be intentional, has been a breathe of fresh air in my life. Thank you so much
I love my life I’m 59 and I’ve learned a lot over the years. Blessed to listen to your words, and so THANKFUL we have a choice! My 27-year-old daughter said the other day “I love my life. Mom and I feel my life is good because I really try my best to make good decisions.”
We’re blessed to share that our daughter is one of our biggest fans. Relationships matter!
Love that girl!!!
I love your words and I feel them! I’m in my healing phase. I had 3 small umbilical hernias and knew I needed to fix it but …life. I can proudly and bravely say I had the surgery done on Tuesday and I’m recovering. It’s not fun but I’m starting my dream farm and I need my body to be strong and healthy. Thanks for giving me inspiration during my recovery 🥰
I learnt to ask myself this one question every time I lack of self discipline or just too tired to make a good choice..."Is this purchase or this item getting me CLOSER to living the life I envision or ot actually going to set me back further away from living my dreams?😊
beautiful.
When I was 12 I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. The career I wanted involved a lot of higher education. God opened so many doors for me to complete that education debt free and I'm so thankful for that, but college is stressful, and 7 years of it was really stressful. Throw in the major life changes of getting married (going on and back off the pill), covid, job changes, and buying a house, and it's been a tough but good few years. I found your content, Madi, and Margaret Matheny's around the same time when I was at my most stressed and anxious and you guys helped me see how I could heal. God has been so good to me and now it's my first summer working the job I love and I'm starting to grow into living slowly while working my 9-5. This stage isn't forever and there will always be more change ahead, but now I can see how much more I am able to savor what I have and receive good things with most of the physical and mental clutter gone.
Madi, your videos have changed my life for the better. God is using you in amazing ways. Thank you for what you do here. I wish I could afford your course because I’d buy it in a heartbeat! Blessings!
Ah thank you so much! so so kind
This video is why you are my favorite! You have helped me so much for the past year. Now, i have been dealing with a back injury and im so happy i started this 'invisible healing journey' slow living! 🐌 I am enough, i have enough, energy to just be. Its absolutely beautiful to be in this space. Hard too, but with support and confirmation its working for soo many. Love this community you've helped to build ❤ thank you
Such a great message for me! Thank you so much. Yes, I’m totally stressed- this will help me so much!
I admire your knowledge to have gained that much insight at a young age. I am recently retired and only now am I forcing myself to gather all that knowledge and insight!!! Hooray for you to recognize the value of ‘slowing down’ and being your authentic self at such a young age!!! I am diligently working on that now-never too late but wish I had that insight decades ago!!!
I love that, to further enjoy whatever it is you are doing. You beautifully put this video together (and your husband's input is lovely too).
I love this!!! ❤😊 You are so right!
Your videos are a gift to me. Thank you Madi
Thank you! Your content has been so very helpful ❤
Whew great video! So many nuggets of wisdom. Thank you for sharing ❤
Always love your videos!! Thank you for being here on TH-cam!!
I couldn’t love this video any more. Your words resonate with me so strongly. So important to help me remember my why. Thank you for sharing.
Yes!!! Thank you for this excellent video! ❤
You are my
Little light in this world
Of momming
The Lighthouse I suppose
( also sometimes women just need that random intuitive talk time … it’s how we as women communicate naturally )
The end of that vid gave me life
I always get so excited to see your videos! Thank you for sharing your soul with us.
Wow (just watching this part now) that bit about greed vs envy and the beauty of contentment, it’s so beautifully said and has awakened me about some of my own vices. Thank you
I just love all of your videos💜 Thank you💜
I always look forward to watching your videos, they give me a little inspiration each week to slow down and embrace the moments I’m in. Today was gorgeous outside, and so my daughter and I cuddled on the porch swing, listened to the birds, and read books.
Your words resonate with me so much, their a gentle reminder to trust myself, my intuition, my choices. Thank you
Madisun❤ you are breath of fresh air love your channel girl ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love your words!! ❤Thank you!
I always love hearing what you have to share. But something about you lately 🥹💗! Just undeniably humble, honnest, yet cuts through fiercly. And that sweet belly growing life 🥲. Love it. Thank you!
Love the way you discussed the cycle of giving and receiving. As women we are wired to be givers.The hard part is being open for receiving the gifts of others. My daughter in law has blessed me with my first grandchild. It has brought my son and DIL closer as they are both looking at their family lifestyle and have been open to my perspective as a woman who worked outside the home. I have encouraged them to embrace SAHM and simple living.
I can relate so much to the healing phase it started with decluttering for me. 2020 was so good for it. It forced me to stop and re-evulate everything.
I love love love this conversation
Loved your ending saying that your body has listened to this... It woke me up in a way, that all the information that I receive while watching TH-cam my body also get. And I guess that i should start to listen to what reponse it has!
This was an amazing video. I have never been able to put it into words before but...... my feminine energy was so hurt, so I grew into my masculine energy so I would feel safe and control everything, but I wasn't happy there. Time to reclaim my feminine energy. Thanks Maddi
You are so right
I would love to see a video talking more about how you became debt free, how much debt you paid off, how you stay out of debt. My husband and I recently went through financial peace. I think it would be helpful and inspiring ✨
I absolutely love watching these videos from you. There’s so much goodness that comes from you and I learn so much. I’m trying hard to live with less and be happy with it. I heard a quote that said do you want to appear happy or do you want to BE happy and it’s really stuck with me. And in this video I just kept hearing it over and over and I love it! Thank you!!
I have 1 questions for you, how do you gracefully accept a gift as a new minimalist and someone who is actively trying to declutter their life?
that resonates so much with me. I just feel guilty slowing down, not doing more,...
not me bing watching your videos all day and now this! lucky me!! lol thanks girl!
binge *** lol
hahaha awww so happy to spend the day with you!
WELL SAID MADI ❤
Hi Madi! Sending love to you from long island, NY ♥️ where do you find your background music? Id love to play that on my Alexa through the house. Thank you for all you do, and share. You are spreading such wisdom & inspiration. 🙏🏼
Big smile, thank you for the reminder to enjoy life and be yourself. Your advice make sense. Greed and envy no way, don’t want that haha 😊 bless you
Hi Madisun 🤍 I believe you mentioned before that you healed your hormones by reducing toxic products in your home. Can you make a video about what switches you made in your household? I’d love to know as I begin to do similarly :)
Amen, it IS time to start eating again!!
That is so lovely. Thank you for sharing this. 🌹 Red
❤❤
Could you link the book you talked about? The one about giving. Thanks 😊!
As an FTM, I have to say that your channel has really helped me a lot with exploring feelings concerning "feminine energy." Slowing down and decluttering has definitely made me a lot happier and made me feel a lot safer. Just wanted to let you know that your content helps more than just women I think there are a lot of men and nonbinary who enjoy your content and commentary too (:
I think living the way you do in the US is much more “rebellious” and “courageous” than living like that in Europe or other countries. Not that mass consumerism doesn’t exist over here, too, but living simply is so much more common over here, so much so that people wouldn’t even call it that way, because it’s just “normal”. I think your work is very important and I love that you inspire so many to look beyond. x
❤❤❤❤
You inspired me to make a video on TH-cam :)
I know you've mentioned your health issues you had as a child/ teen. Do your parents or you have any advice for staying low stress when your child has a health issue? I feel like im constantly anxious about it.
Nice conversation. It was a bit hard to hear you over the music in certain parts. Just for feedback, not to gripe because your channel is awesome.
i have 6 packs you have 1 😂❤
