  • Simple and Practical

    I love her perspective. While I don’t consider myself a minimalist, I am easily overwhelmed by clutter and she has given so many solutions for my family to use in navigating

    and minimize clutter. The biggest thing that has helped overall is her perspective on disassociating guilt with paring down and letting go of the clutter.

  • My Favorite Podcast

    I started listening to Paring Down when I was battling postpartum depression. I was so overwhelmed with my home and couldn’t imagine how to get things back on track. I would listen to the podcasts during nap time and I slowly started working throughout my home by taking Shannon’s advice. I truly believe that Jesus and Paring Down helped pull me out of one of the darkest seasons of my life! My home is now so peaceful and easy to manage. Shannon’s advice and tips are truly gold! I will be a listen... more

  • Best decluttering podcast out there

    Shannon sounds like she’s your best friend just talking to you. See? I even referred to her like she’s an old friend 😂

    She not only gives amazing advice which has changed my life, but she does it without judgement and with so much love. I wish she could put out a podcast daily!! In the loneliness of motherhood without a large village she’s been a large part of helping me thrive. I could write an entire essay on why you should listen to this podcast, but we all know people don’t read past the fi... more
