3: Avoiding the Christmas Clutter with Karla Graves
Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living
10/31/23 • 64 min
The holidays are upon us! And that means an influx of stuff, traditions, and events. Oftentimes, we end up just wanting to "get through the holidays" because it's all so overwhelming.
In this episode, Shannon brings on small-space interior designer Karla Graves to talk about living intentionally with less, and how to prepare our homes, our kids, and our hearts for a less daunting holiday season.
From what to put in stockings and boundaries surrounding gifts, to resisting the urge to follow every little tradition we see other families doing, this conversation is for anyone who wants the holiday magic without the holiday fuss.

71: How Growing Up in a Cult Made Me More Intentional
Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living
02/11/25 • 59 min
Whew, I kind of can't believe I'm pressing publish on this one. I grew up in a high control religious organization, and today I'm sharing my story after a lot of interest came in after I mentioned it in a reel!
I know this is.a bit off the subject of decluttering, but it ties in beautifully with the bigger message of intentional living. I hope this episode is not only interesting, but helps shed some light on the importance of being intentional about our beliefs by making them our own.

78: Addressing the Mental Load of Clutter with Dr. Morgan Cutlip
Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living
04/01/25 • 72 min
"What if our partner says they'll do something, but they don't follow through?"
"How do we get our partners to care about all the details of home/family management?"
These are just two of the questions I ask relationship expert and author Dr. Morgan Cutlip on today's episode of Paring Down.
"The mental load" is a big term getting a lot of attention these days because it's an important component to healthy, happy relationships. Clutter can feel like one big "to-do" list, and if we shoulder the responsibility for dealing with it by ourselves, it's recipe for resentment and disconnection in our relationship.
In today's episode, relationship expert Dr. Morgan Cutlip shares about her new book "A Better Share: How Couples Can Tackle the Mental Load for More Fun, Less Resentment, and Great Sex," coming out April 15th. I think you'll love her positive yet realistic take.

70: Is Decluttering Just for the Financially Secure? with Aubrey High
Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living
02/04/25 • 59 min
Avoiding difficult subjects isn't something I want to do on Paring Down. Yet I want to make sure I approach them with humility, positivity, and an open mind - and I hope that tone comes through on today's episode.
I'm so grateful to have Aubrey High from The Reclaimed Home alongside me as we talk through insights she's gained while working with people who are financially insecure - and often recovering from trauma - to responsibly declutter and organize their homes.

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living
04/23/24 • 60 min
You do NOT want to miss this one, you guys.
While this podcast primarily focuses on paring down our belongings to declutter our homes, I like to branch out a bit every now and then to pare down different beliefs, anxieties, and ideas we have on a variety of subjects in order to help us move through the world with less stress and more peace.
Well, flight anxiety is one of those things I simply can't ignore during a miniseries called Paring Down Travel. And who better to help us feel a bit better than my old man??
He's a former fighter pilot for the U.S. Navy, and went on to fly for FedEx. A Top Gun grad and all-around brilliant human and aviator, my dad not only shares his FASCINATING stories of flying, but gives us helpful information that can keep us a bit calmer in the air.

63: A Balanced Approach to Birthday Parties
Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living
12/17/24 • 48 min
Birthday parties are a great example of how the true power of a “minimalish” life isn’t in less for the sake of less, rather it’s about intentionality.
In this episode, I share how our family personally approaches birthday parties - from why we do them at all, to how many kids are invited, to gifts and goody bags and themes!
Biggest takeaway: Minimalism isn’t the lens through which I view life. It’s a symptom of living intentionally...because inevitably, only the essential will shine. But I don’t look at life as a challenge to do or have the least possible. There’s a difference there, and the former is much more freeing!
