b'This week, I am excited to be talking on the podcast with Courtney Carver from Be More With Less.\\xa0On the blog and podcast, I frequently discuss the \\u201chow\\u201d of minimalism. But in this episode, Courtney takes us one step further. She explains why simple living is good for your heart, family, and future.\\n\\nI just wrapped up Courtney\\u2019s brand new book, Soulful Simplicity: How Living with Less Can Lead to So Much More. Courtney shares her story in moving from a stressed out, cluttered life to minimalism as a result of a devastating diagnosis. Her story is beautifully written\\u2013it will both lift you up and bring you to tears\\u2013I am not sure if I can say I have ever cried about someone else\\u2019s dog dying\\u2013but now I have.\\n\\nHere\\u2019s quick excerpt from Soulful Simplicity that spoke to me:\\n\\nI\\u2019m confident that because I got lost, disconnected, and turned upside down, I was able to come out even better on the other side and experience the kind of gratitude you just can\\u2019t tap into unless you know what it\\u2019s like to live outside of your heart. Not being yourself is exhausting and breaks you down from the inside out.\\n\\nSimplifying my life was the way I remembered who I was. When we hear about the benefits of simplicity, we immediately think of organized sock drawers, clean countertops, and tidy bookshelves, but it\\u2019s much more than that if you want it to be.\\n\\nCourtney is currently on a 15 city book tour\\u2013she will be here in NYC next week and I look forward to meeting her there! If you can catch her in a city near you, I highly recommend hearing her words and her story in person.\\n\\nThe post SFP 89: Soulful Simplicity [with Courtney from Be More With Less] appeared first on Simple Families.'
