Hi there! I’m Mia Lee, author of Nourishing Minimalism.
My minimalism story.
My journey with minimalism began as I left my parents’ house for college and realized: I’d never gotten rid of a single thing. I had to majorly downsize. I used my parents’ attic as a little bit of a decluttering crutch, opting to store some of the harder decisions there.
As I moved from house to trailer to house to apartment to across the country–I downsized again and again. It really made me look at my belongings. Why was I keeping all of that stuff? A lot of reasons… Guilt, anxiety, obligation, growing up with a scarcity mindset.
Once I did that internal reflection, the ball was rolling too quick to stop. When I ran out of things to declutter in my house, I started helping my family with theirs, then my friends, then my friends’ friends, then anyone who asked!
But I can only travel so far to help people, so this blog has been an amazing way to offer assistance to others who are struggling with chaotic, overwhelming homes.
That’s why I write this blog!
I, along with my partner, Sam, have always been passionate about self-improvement, and most of our careers have been focused on helping people find their purpose and live life intentionally. But building the life you want requires time and space, so no matter where you’re going, minimalism shortens the distance between you and your goals.
My mission with this blog is to share my experience and knowledge to help you uncover the same focus and contentment I have found in minimalism.
