  • Thank you for being real!

    Your podcast is my go to when I need tips, tricks, and motivation. Also, I wanted to tell Tanya that we don’t have a bathroom countertop or cabinet under the sink either. My solution is a cute sink skirt. I love it that you gals don’t have perfect mansions to work and live in. We raised four daughters with this one bathroom. They learned valuable lessons on sharing, time management, and scheduling techniques. 😉

  • Always So Kind…?

    I am a longtime fan and follower of Kathi (love the books, the show, etc.), but lately I have felt like I am not the listener/follower that Tonya and Kathi like. In today’s show, Tonya had derogatory remarks about “Evangelicals” that didn’t at all reflect who I am or anyone I know (I’m an Evangelical Christian). I was in BSF for many years, and I ABSOLUTELY was allowed to speak even when I didn’t do my homework, Kathi. And I’m conservative politically. Please don’t paint us all with a wide brush... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Thrift Wish List: How to Shop Secondhand Without Bringing Home Clutter
Q: How do you gauge whether you buy something? Does it have to be the perfect item? Is it near perfect? Like versus full price? Like how do you think about that?
Tenneil suggests checking whether the item would still be desirable without the discount, identifying a clear purpose, and considering storage, usefulness, capacity, and the time needed to prepare or maintain it.
Your Thrift Wish List: How to Shop Secondhand Without Bringing Home Clutter
Q: So talk to me about some things that make it so the stuff you buy, and I know you don't get it 100 percent right all of the time, but how you approach your thrifting.
Tenneil recommends keeping a thrift list on a phone and adding items when a real need becomes clear, such as kitchen tools or clothing that fills a gap.
Cluttery People Are Great Storytellers—It's the Editing We Struggle With
Q: How do you strip away the things that may seem fun or interesting but aren't necessary to the story?
Flory recommends making lists on paper to identify what matters, which forces choices and helps shape the story.
Cluttery People Are Great Storytellers—It's the Editing We Struggle With
Q: Where does the story live? Is it in the retelling, in the thing, or in both?
Flory says it is complicated: people can preserve journals, diaries, and photos, but should identify the heart of a story and keep the full archive separate from what they want others to read.
Your Brain Has a Daily Decision Budget (And Clutter Is Spending It All)
Q: What is decision fatigue and how does it affect everyday life?
It's the gradual depletion of mental energy from making many small decisions, which makes it harder to make good choices later in the day; clutter amplifies this by adding constant decision points.
