The Wannabe Clutter Free podcast is here to help you clear the clutter, simplify your routines, and find freedom in the life you’re building. I’m Deanna Yates, a busy mom who knows what it’s like to juggle family, career, and the never-ending piles of stuff. From selling 80% of what we owned to travel with our toddler, to managing the daily chaos of running a home with a school-aged kid, I’ve learned that living with less isn’t about deprivation. It’s about creating more space, more peace, and more joy. Each week, I share real-life stories, simple decluttering strategies, and mindset shifts that make it easier to let go of what’s weighing you down. You’ll also hear from inspiring guests who share practical tips and fresh perspectives on minimalism, home organization, intentional living, and building habits that last. If you’re tired of feeling buried in clutter and crave a home that feels calm, welcoming, and easy to manage, this show is for you. It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress, freedom, and finding space for what truly matters to you.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T16:21:06.048111+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wannabe-clutter-free-declutter-simplify-find-freedom-917120"},"episode":{"title":"Less Stuff, More Life: How a Bestselling Minimalist Actually Lives with Shira Gill (Ep 296)","slug":"less-stuff-more-life-how-a-bestselling-minimalist-actually-lives-with-shira-gill-ep-296-2","published_at":"2026-02-11T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wannabe-clutter-free-declutter-simplify-find-freedom-917120/less-stuff-more-life-how-a-bestselling-minimalist-actually-lives-with-shira-gill-ep-296-2","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wannabe-clutter-free-declutter-simplify-find-freedom-917120","url":"http://wannabeclutterfree.com/296","audio_url":"https://audio2.redcircle.com/episodes/089cbd58-f9cf-4534-a224-c496e8a39473/stream.mp3","summary":"What does minimalism actually look like for a busy family in a small home?
