    Smarter parenting with heart
    Being a guest on Minimalist Moms jumpstarted my love affair with Diane Boden’s interviews. I have listened to her avidly for nearly two years, never missing an episode. And now with her newest incarnation of Clear Intentions, I’m more hooked than ever! As a scientist who travels a lot for research, keynotes, bookstore talks and broadcasts, and as a mom of three small children, I have little time for media. Clear Intentions is worth every moment - I listen to recharge and enrich myself!

    Love the show. Love the Rebrand
    I’ve always loved this show but love the rebrand! Your episodes are always encouraging in a non-judgmental way, Diane. Thanks for sharing your insights and guests with us. Loved the episode with Ginny, two of my favorite worlds collide! You all inspire me!

    Love watching your platform grow!
    Diane, I found your podcast as a new mom in 2020. I had just had our daughter and was looking for connection and simplistic ideas and tips to add calm to our routines. I think you are doing a great job and I love watching your podcast grow and expand! Excited for more episodes in this new space!

    This is my favorite podcast b/c I find the episodes so relevant as a working mom of 2 LO’s trying to live intentionally and w/o excess. Thank you for putting this content out there!

    Motivating and Encouraging!
    Love this podcast. I listen whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed and I need practical advice or encouragement to get organized. Easy to listen to, nonjudgmental and practical tips. 10/10 recommend if you’re trying to live minimally with kids!

  • Thankful for this podcast
    Love Minimalist Moms
    I love this podcast so much! So many relevant topics, useful information, for moms, women, and just parents/people in general. My husband and I both really enjoy the podcast and often send episodes back and forth to each other. I’m really grateful I found this podcast as I’m on this journey of slowing down, healing, being more aware, intentional, and minimal! Thanks for all the amazing information you discuss.
  • BrookeChau
    Love this podcast!
    I always look forward to each new episode! Diane is always relatable and down to earth. Her show topics are always applicable. I’ve gotten so many nuggets on how to live more minimally so I can live more intentionally!

    Minimalism is more than you think
    I have been listening for years and I absolutely love this podcast. I can’t remember how I came across it but Diane totally changed my mindset with what I thought minimalism means. She provides the tools to live with an intentional lifestyle and as I am learning I am getting to pass that down to my kids as well. I am a super sentimental person and I hang onto a lot because of that. My mom died shortly after I turned 6 and there was never anything really to pass onto us kids of hers, no family heirlooms. In one of Diane’s more recent episodes she and her guest talked about how- you can let go of an item but keep the memory. That really stuck with me. Also how to be mindful of how MUCH I choose to keep because my kids will have to deal with it all someday when I’m gone so I keep them involved when I am purging, especially if I’m having a hard time letting go. Sometimes the things I want to save for them, they are not as attached to. Lastly, my favorite episode has to be the one where she talks about how to purge the closet! That is one I revist usually once or twice a year. Some people have a hype song, that’s the equivalent to getting me in the right mindset to get rid of items I don’t wear. I’m a stage 5 clinger with clothes and I can Marie Kondo every last item and tell you where I got it from and the last time I wore it LOL Diane has provided so many tools over the years and I share with everyone I know because it really has been life changing for me. I appreciate the length of her podcasts. Sometimes I feel like they’re not long enough and I’m usually left wanting more but she’s brings guest back all the time and I can get a whole podcast in on my commute to work. Truly no complaints from me! I love the bonus episodes too! Give it a chance, it’ll probably change your life!

    Grounding podcast
    I’ve been listening to Diane’s podcast for a few years and have really enjoyed the tips and conversations about more intentional living. I’m a mom of 5 kids in a very busy season of life and this podcast is my little grounding pause each week to remember, recenter, refocus on what matters most and find simple ways to ….well, simplify! The experts she invites on the show have varied life experiences which I appreciate and also share the solidarity I’m seeking in their perspective toward a more essentialistic approach to living.
  • Patooney
    I’m learning through you!
    Now that I will have 3 kids, I love the tips shared on this podcast. I’m on a mission to minimalism! I really love the concepts and tips shared about mental clutter. So helpful.
  • Marg0t:)
    Easy & fun to listen- so so relevant!
    Wow, just stumbled across this pod two days ago and have listened to a dozen episodes so far! First time mom here & I’m finding every episode sooo helpful! Topics ranging from loving your look to spending to organizing…I’m loving this! Easy on the years, upbeat, great and relevant questions and awesome resource suggestions in every episode! My TBR list is much longer already! Definitely a needle in a haystack mom podcast!!!
  • AnnaMac^*
    Great information!
    I enjoy this podcast and learn about various topics from the episodes. I especially enjoy the meal ideas and planning shows.

    Always Interesting
    This has been a comfort podcast for me since 2020. I love learning about minimalism and how others utilize systems and strategies in their homes. Diane brings in interesting guests and each podcast ends with a takeaway. I have implemented so many systems learned from this podcast and my family is better for it.
  • AutumnTao
    Tons of valuable gems every time!
    Love this podcast! From the tip at the beginning to the depth of the conversations, I always leave with so much inspiration and knowledge! The host is easy to listen to and delightful! I appreciate this space so much <3

    Maximal minimalism
    I am loving this podcast as a mother and a minimalist. It is so hard to find balance with wanting to live a simpler life and having kids but this podcast is super helpful!
  • KBZ2008
    Content is good, ads overwhelming
    This podcast is great and the interview portion is fantastic but there is entirely too many commercials / advertisements and the placement of them is extremely clunky due to their length. Several episodes I listened to didn’t even start the content until 5+ minutes and had another 5 min “intermission”. Understand that ads are a necessity but they are very long so it would be greatly improved if shortened and I could spend more time listening then fast forwarding.
  • paigeamberbacani
    Practical and Helpful!!
    I am so grateful for Diana and all the work she does behind the scenes to connect with such incredible people and offer such insightful interviews! As a mama with two little ones, I am so grateful for her practical tips in so many different realms of life! Mostly, I am grateful for her reminder to stop scrolling and start seizing! Thank you Diana, you are such a blessing!
  • Jamochagirl
    Such a gift to the busy mom!
    I’m so grateful for Diane’s true curiosity for learning and leading others with hope and respect. She is strong and yet willing to learn. My favorite part of her work is that she helps me to try little ways to get organized versus making me feel I have to do it all at once. Learning how to create margin is so appreciated!

    Love the Message
    This podcast is genuine and has been a big inspiration to me. I love the different topics she covers. As a mother of 4 I am going to keep tuning in. p.s. Im glad you love Talitha Coffee too!!! -Candice
  • Emma’stempname
    Love!
    Love this podcast. Thoughtfully structured and not rambling. I’m not religious, and love that she carves out “niche” topics on Christianity in separate episodes.
  • Eeeecookie
    Easy listening
    Love the conversationalist style and easy flow of the podcast. I love that she doesn’t wander around, they stay on topic and have a lot of helpful and valuable information
  • MegP32
    Best Podcast
    This podcast is my absolute favorite! I love that it gives so much great info about minimalism and motherhood while also being realistic and not feeling judgy or overwhelming.
  • kdnashmom
    My top podcast
    I have been listening to this podcast for years and it is my first pick if I have an opportunity to listen to a podcast. Diane seems genuine and not stuffy about minimalism and all topics presented.
  • MrsSimps
    Great variety!
    I’ve been listening to the show for over a year and love the variety. Whether you are a mom or not, and whether you are a minimalist or not, you are sure to pick up some great tips on living a calmer, more intentional life.
  • CassieJean512
    Great show, needs better sound quality
    I absolutely LOVE the content, guests and host of this show! It’s interesting, helpful, and always gives me fresh ideas. The one thing that would improve this is better sound balancing and quality. I am often turning the volume up and down throughout a show to better hear the guests, host, and ads. Additionally, on a recent episode the high tone of the voices were so sharp and muffled sounds of them talking were so loud I couldn’t even finish the episode. Investing in improving the sound would really take the quality and professionalism of this podcast to the next level.
  • Cozy Gardener
    Great shower listen!
    I love listening to this podcast when I shower! It’s becoming part of my evening wind-down routine
  • Thecrystalbarrel
    Such a fun and helpful listen!
    Thank you so much for these fun and helpful podcasts. They are easy to listen to as you try to simplify life. I am in a journey of decluttering and it’s helping to listen while I work on things room by room.

    Realistic and Relatable
    I enjoy several podcasts geared towards Minimalist living as a parent and this has by far been the most impactful! Diane does an awesome job highlighting actionable topics that feel relevant for me today, and I love her guests!
  • Obrochta
    One of my fav podcasts
    I’m a big fan of this podcast. I have found it very informative and inspirational. I got rid of a lot of clutter and a few sentimental items and I feel so much lighter now. I appreciate how Diane gets right to the point and is not long winded. I highly recommend!
  • joyann200
    Valuable Podcast!
    Love this podcast! Gives real life and relatable tips! Always find something helpful in every episode!
  • Kristy_White
    Feels like chatting with a friend!
    I love this podcast, consistently great guests, helpful tips and the best part is that it feels like you’re just chatting with a friend! ✨
  • BGA9489
    Great info
    This podcast always has the best guests. One thing that is distracting is that Diane says “no” very frequently. It happens in every single episode while she is talking to the guest. She will say “No, I love that” or “No, that’s great.” It’s never contextually relevant or an answer to a question. It’s confusing and adds a negative connotation to the conversation. Other than that distraction I love this podcast and I am always excited to see new episodes pop up.
  • Katie H F
    Consistently my favorite podcast
    I absolutely love this podcast - it has been one of my favorite podcasts and one of the few podcasts that I consistently come back to every single week and have listened to (and learned from) almost every episode. The topics encompass so much about minimalism & intentional living, and it really resonates with me. she chooses excellent guests, and I’ve learned so much from listening to this podcast. LOVE IT!
  • Angela Delf
    Love this show!
    Practical and applicable! Every episode has a takeaway that I find valuable!
  • Sky$Sky
    Not bad, a bit tone deaf
    Good variety of guests, definitely some good concepts in the episodes. However, the major flaw is that it’s a bit tone deaf. Minimalism being born out of abundance and the ability to over consume. Of course minimalism applies to everyone but most of the conversations are coming from places of abundance. One guest stated “it was fun” to be out of basic cooking ingredients like eggs and butter because it made her be creative in the kitchen. The sentiment may be true but comes across as ignorant to the many who live like this, not by choice, but by necessity. That being said you can definitely cherry pick inspiration for decluttering and staying more organized. I wouldn’t say this podcast is for everyone, however.
  • Mimi-Johnson
    So Helpful!
    I feel like every mom needs this.
  • Storybook Trips by Mackenzie
    A Staple Podcast
    I was a maximalist mom drowning in items and overwhelm until I decided that I wanted to change to a minimalist. Not only has this podcast changed my spending habits and home, it has also helped me become a better mom, business owner and just all around a happier human being. I always appreciate when podcasters are raw & real and this show is the definition of that. This is the first podcast I look for when new shows come out in my library!
  • bellalucevida
    One of My Go-Tos!
    I love listening to the Minimalist Moms podcast while I am making dinner each night for my family. It always gives my husband and me so many great ideas to talk about while eating dinner. Thanks for the great discussion topics!
  • Mountain Mamma 2000
    Strong emphasis on Christian mothers (not for all mothers)
    I wish this podcast was for all moms, but the more I listened to it, the more I realized it was focused on Christian mothers. It’s not just a podcast for all moms that are aspiring minimalists. Not for me.
  • StacyCO123
    Years of great listening
    I love this podcast and have been listening for years. Easy to listen to (not too rushed or loud or annoying talking like some others) She has a peaceful voice and nice pace to the show that allows you to actually learn as you listen. Great guests and I love that she doesn’t shy away from niche topics that include religion or homeschooling but rather just says ‘if this topic isn’t for you, come back next week’! I personally love the religious additions but for those that don’t I love that she doesn’t just erase talking about her beliefs/interests but gives well rounded podcasts depending on the week. Listen and enjoy getting rid of all the physical and mental clutter :)
  • Bcchik82
    Great find!!
    I love this podcast and the topics discussed! As the founder of Neatly Balanced, home organizing with a minimalist approach is incredibly important to me. I will definitely be listening to future episodes and taking notes that I can implement into my clients lives as well!
  • Jordan co 53
    A podcast gem!
    There’s so many practical life tips in each episode that can apply to any adult. The topics covered are interesting + provide insight on how to be intentional (and practically apply that no matter the season we find ourselves in). Highly recommend this podcast for anyone looking to simplify their life.

    Minimalist interior design tips
    I had the pleasure of working with Diane in her latest podcast about Interior Design. It was so much fun and we really got to think through some useful tips that can apply to everyone’s homes not just family/mom spaces.
  • Adfrauen
    So many great tips
