Why are we so preoccupied with buying things, saving more, and accomplishing more? Are there ways in which physical or spiritual clutter is getting in the way of your life's purpose?

I speak with cohost of the incredibly popular Minimalist podcast, T.K. Coleman to discuss a simple question: how might our lives be more with less?

Discover how stripping away the unnecessary can help you experience more freedom, peace, and clarity. We also discuss T.K.’s recent conversion from Pentecostal to Catholicism and unpack some common objections to the faith.
