| 07 Mar 2023 | 032: Growing Out of Your Comfort Zone | 00:29:50 | |
This episode is longer than usual, and the topic is a little different than a typical episode, but Diana wants to share an important lesson that was helpful in her life. It’s really tempting to stay in our comfort zone, especially in the past few years, and not add anxiety, worry, or fear to our lives. Diana was told years ago by business coach James Wedmore, “Growth happens out of your comfort zone.” Challenging yourself to be okay with being uncomfortable, whether with something big or little, once a month or once a year, can help you grow. We all want to grow, whether in a business, personally, in parenting, or marriage. Try and think of an area in your life where you can take a tiny uncomfortable step and just sit it in for a while and see how it feels. In this episode, Diana shares times when she went out of her comfort zone in order to grow. We’ll also discuss:

| 14 Mar 2023 | 033: Declutter Your DMs | 00:21:35 | |
The Decluttered Mom’s Instagram account has steadily grown over the past five years to almost 140,000 followers, which is mindblowing! Instagram is a creative outlet for Diana that she enjoys. It’s also where she connects with all of you in stories, reels, and comments. And she loves connecting with this community in her DMs. There is success in having an Instagram Reel go “viral” in that more moms can find The Decluttered Mom, relate to the content, and get some tips on how to make their lives easier. However, it can become negative and draining when those viral reels reach people that aren’t the target audience. In this episode, Diana shares a new process she’s implementing to protect her energy while continuing to communicate with this community.

Have you ever struggled with what to do with gifts that are given to you or your kids and you don’t want? It could be because it’s something you don’t like, or maybe it doesn’t fit, and you can’t return it. Whatever the reason, there are many occasions when we don’t want to bring an item into our home, especially when we are on a decluttering journey.

After the new year, many people start thinking about decluttering their homes. And this is when we tend to hear how decluttering and minimalism go hand in hand. When you hear the word minimalism, what do you picture? It can look like a lot of different ways for different people. But it’s not decluttering.
