Recently I haven’t had much interest in listening to The Minimal Mom episodes, because I feel like they’ve become more and more internal and self focused for motivation to live a simple life and live in a decluttered at home. But this episode was so refreshing because I was full of a lot of truth and statistics that I didn’t know as a Christian and as a person for children in America, but also motivates me to want to not spend my life managing inventory so that I can have time for other people and other peoples needs. I feel motivated to be a good steward of my life this pair down on my stuff. so I feel thankful for the episode being on here, and feel much more motivated to continue simplifying our life so that I can be ready and open for what God may have me do in the lives of others. Dawn, would love to see you return more to the foundations of Godly stewardship (even to a non Christian audience) of our lives and our stuff affects that.

Dawn’s podcasts, YouRube channel, & advice are usually TOP NOTCH…which is why I’m giving her a 5 Star rating. However, this guy that ran away from college to play monk for a year, yet talks about “the divine self” & God & nature & pretends he can put people into trances…what…a…freak. Straight up liberal hippie with forgiven college loans & a degree in gender study & basket weaving is what he sounded like…I laughed when he said the monks wanted him to leave the Himalayans & told him to spread their teachings to America because it was VERY obvious that they just wanted the weird American pretending he was an expert at life to go away. LOL I don’t know what he worships, but it sure isn’t God. What a quack. Let’s not give weirdos like this time anymore, ok Dawn?

My clutter was “killing me” not only that I couldn’t physically keep it all clean, but my “mind was exhausted” from thinking about it go. Listening to her guidelines for “inventory” and following Dana K White with A Slob Comes Clean No Mess Method, has resulted in me purging over 80% of our physical belongings in the last 19 months. Freedom doesn’t describe it fully.

Not only does Dawn have great advice on simplifying the physical objects in the home but I get so much about simplifying my way of life, parenting/relationship advice, and decluttering my mind. It all comes in a positive and uplifting way as well. I listen when I feel worn out and just need an uplifting friend to hang with for a few minutes.

I love these podcasts! Dawn has great discussions and interviews and truly shows how minimalism isn’t just with material things. I have learned so much through these podcasts.

Dawn gives awesome advice about declutterring and living simply. She seems to understand how a typical family lives and how to minimize with a busy life. I’ve watched many of her videos but surprised how great her podcast is too! Goes deeper and has outstanding guests. Thank you!

Dawn is so caring and only wants the best for us too!! You can feel that come through. She knows this will make our lives better. I started decluttering because she convinced me to do so. Picking up my house is a snap and so much less stress!! Thank you, friend. I do feel like we are friends. I invite you into my home and headspace and I’m so glad we met! 🤣🤣🥰

I could listen to Dawn literally every day. I feel like we could be best friends!!! I recently discovered minimalism, and I’m starting my own journey. So grateful for her guidance and practical tips!

I love this podcast. It is so encouraging to me to declutter more and live a more simple life!

Dawn, I appreciate your encouragement and ideas. I see your clear countertops and wonder about fresh produce and food. Where do you keep bananas, onions, bread, avocados, etc. I have always kept those items on the counter. Do they have good shelf life in a dark pantry?

Can’t stop listening to this even though I have heard all of this information 100 million times. It’s like good therapy and a best friend and church all in one.

I always perfect to watch Dawn since her sweet smile is so encouraging but sometimes there isn’t enough time so it’s awesome to have the podcast to fall back on.

Love Love Love! So many great tips!

I’ve been a follower of your YouTube channel for years, Dawn. I’ve recently discovered your podcast and listen whenever I am decluttering. I am decluttering my classroom this very moment. Your podcast is giving me that extra push and motivation to say goodbye to the things that do not ADD VALUE to my classroom. God bless you and your heart for the Lord. He is using you to make a real difference in my life and countless others, I’m sure! ❤️

Dawn, Cass and Dana I call the three amigos that changed my life. My only regret is that I did not find them sooner. What can you do, only move forward from today, and don’t dwell on the past. I look forward to each week’s podcasts, and get so much done and more to ponder after each one. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I know it’s not a coincidence that I found this podcast or your YouTube channel. Thank you for your encouraging words!!! Connie from Nebraska

I have been an avid fan of Dawn for a couple years on YouTube and wanted to get more inspiration. I was driving today and was bummed I couldn’t watch her Videos on YouTube, but then realized she may have a podcast! Sure enough, and I am so glad I found it. Thank you Dawn and Diana for your encouragement towards simple, thoughtful, faithful, living. I love how you bring back to the truth of the purpose of our life, Jesus Christ. Thank you!

I wondered today if you had a podcast also and I found this and listened to three different episodes on my way home from town. Learned so much from you & your sister. Thank you both for taking time to teach us & also how to draw nearer to our Lord. ❤️ Anita

I had no idea you had a podcast. I feel like I have watched all your videos. I listen to you talk in the background while doing housework. You are my favorite minimalist :)

**Review only one episode** I love this Dawn Madsen, The Minimal Mom podcast episode. Madsen and her sister Diana Kokku discussed their experience helping clients declutter. I appreciated how sensitive they were to their clients belongings. Madsen and Kokku explained the importance of asking for help. Asking questions that will help declutter items. Also, seeing some permanent-stay items in different locations. I enjoyed this delightful and informative episode.

Dawn has methods easy to implement. Her podcast are uplifting, entertaining and super supportive of getting your life simplified to make your home a peaceful refuge. A must listen!

I was so happy to hear you created a podcast, and just finished them all! I love listening to you and Diana! We hope you come back soon!

Please do more podcasts! I love the YouTube content, but listening to a podcast is so much easier to do! Keep up the great work!!

Not only is Dawn encouraging and positive about minimalism but just love hearing her voice continue to motivate me while I work around the house, I’m looking forward to more podcasts!

Enjoyed your ideas. My daughter loves your podcast and just told me about it. She said it is really helping her organize and let go of excess items.

So glad you’ve got a podcast. I look forward to the videos so much, but then I sit & watch. Not a bad thing, but it’s so nice to have the podcasts that I can listen to while I’m in the car or working on my house where I can’t be looking at a screen.

I used to walk with your YouTube channel on in my pocket and just killing my phone. Please never stop doing this as it makes it so much easier to listen and declutter or while I’m on my walk. You are what motivated me because I relate to you so much! Thank you and please never stop!!!!

I love the podcast format because then I am more apt to get in my walk or decluttering while listening to the inspiration!!! I enjoy the merging of minimalism and Christianity!

I didn’t know Dawn had a podcast but have taken much inspiration from her minimalism videos. I’m so grateful there is also a podcast now, what better thing to listen to as I organize, clean, and declutter my own house. I hope this podcast lasts forever!

I love this! I happened upon Dawn earlier this year on YouTube and she is a God send. I can’t even tell enough how I feel like God put her in my path so I could understand his desires for me! I also love that it doesn’t matter who you are, minimalism helps your mental health. I love that they have a podcast! It is helpful to have while I’m doing things around the house! I do wish they were a little longer, but just because I love listening to them so much!!! I love hearing the experiences of minimalism and how to apply them spiritually and practically. 10/10 would recommend.

I followed Dawn and Diana over here from YouTube and love the addition of the podcast! I like listening while cooking or cleaning around the house, so having a podcast vs a video is actually a welcome change because it gives me freedom to multi task while listening. Love the encouragement of their chats!

Diana and Dawn, I’m sure, make their mother proud and I’m sure she modeled cheerfulness. You are both so uplifting and positive in everything it makes this grandma want to listen and learn. And you both have excellent communication. The information shared is easy and helpful. And Dawn, I’m a folder. I admire you for proudly not folding. You encourage stepping into efficiency but still maintaining your individuality. Love your YT and this podcast.

So encouraging and real

Awesome podcast and love hearing from Dawn and Diana! Thanks for continuing to share!

This podcast is a great addition to the Minimal Mom YouTube channel. I love hearing Dawn’s ideas. I think I would like it better without the short introduction and ending that are narrated by another woman; she talks like she is recording an infomercial. I would like to suggest that we hear only Dawn or Diana give an intro.

Really glad I stumbled onto this. It was a blessing that I didn’t think I’d find. I look forward to more. Blessings 🤗

I honestly think I could listen to you talk all day long! You are so encouraging and uplifting! Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul!

Thank you so much for starting a podcast!!! I love watching your YouTubes, but my free time is mostly in the car so your podcast is much appreciated!! Thank you!

Love your YouTube channel, love your new podcast! So happy to have this outlet to listen to you and Diana. Keep up the good work ladies. Thank you for following where God leads! 💙

LOVE your YouTube channel and love the podcast already. I just like listening to you talk lol. I loved your videos with Diana were really great as well and I’m glad I can still hear you guys together on here. You are always so very helpful, thoughtful and super fun and entertaining. You have been such a blessing. Especially with your collab with Dana and Cas. Keep doing what you’re doing and may God continue to bless your whole family!!!

Dawn and Diana have been fresh air in my life for about 6 months via their YouTube channel. I have an 18-month old, two part-time jobs, a spouse and Kitty, and am hoping for more children. I have NEEDED their encouragement and wisdom to simplify my home and life. Thanks y’all. SO excited to tune in while I drive around town and road trip to see our family!!

Now I can listen to Dawn encourage me while I declutter and simplify my life. Dawn is a genius and and I consider her a friend. She will make you feel that way too.:)

I’ve been faithfully watching your YouTube videos. They have helped me during a transition in my life and career. Having three kids and a full life meant downsizing somewhere and your channel was God-sent! It gave me somewhere to put my energy while I couldn’t work and was helping my home function better for my family. Now that I’m back to work the podcast is ideal! Thank you for your Amazing and insightful and helpful work that you do!!

I am so excited that Dawn started this podcast. I am a busy mom, so a lot of times when I turn on her YouTube channel, I end up listening more than watching. This is a great addition to her amazing content! I love how down to Earth she is, her simple and practical ways of staying organized, and her faith.

Excited for the podcast ! Listened getting ready for church. Thank you for all your inspiration Wendy from Illinois

I am so excited for this, I have been thinking how much I would enjoy a podcast by you and here it is!! Hoping for longer episodes eventually! Love your channel on YouTube and cannot wait for more on here!

As an avid podcast listener and a long time follower of you I am so excited for this channel. Dawn you are such an inspiration for me and your videos have helped me simplify my life so much and that process has made me a better mother to my kids. Our lives would be very different if it wasn’t for you and your motivation to help me understand the joy of living with less.

Now, I can bring you with me when I’m going through my stuff. You are my friend, helping me to get it done.

So excited that now there is a podcast to complement the YouTube channel! There is something for everyone here- no matter what season of life you are in. Dawn, Tom & Diana deliver honest, heartfelt encouragement with no judgment. Tune in to be lifted up!

I love everything you do! You are changing each and every aspect of my life in such a positive way! I am forever thankful for finding your youtube channel
