I loved Desirae’s practical tips for creating slow mornings — It reminded me of when I was a brand-new mom living in Alaska. Winters there are no joke — way too cold for a one-year-old to be outside for months on end. Without even realizing it, I was practicing slow living before it was “a thing” — just me, my baby, and a whole lot of presence. Fast forward to now: my kids are 16, 13, and 10. Seasons have changed, but breakfast together has become our “slow moment.” It’s the one part of the day we can hold onto before the school rush starts and the pace picks up. Also, her point about being careful with what we add to our calendars? Guilty as charged. I am terrible at saying no… but hearing her frame it as a way to protect peace made me want to try harder. Just listen to the intro everyday and you’ll be motivated! But then, also listen to the rest. 😂

Of all the decluttering podcasts this is my fave! Truly love the insight and advice from Desiree and how candid she is about her real life. Just listened to the most recent episode and it’s more religious then I care for so skipped it but can’t wait for the next one and hope she gets back to sharing about the monthly goals that started off the year!

I LOVE this podcast! Desiree has such a down-to-earth approach to minimalism that feels attainable, gentle and realistic. Listening to this podcast has brought a lot of mindfulness and gratitude into my daily life.

I love listening to Minimal-ish! Desirae has such a relatable and down-to-earth way of talking about minimalism and intentional living. The episodes are packed with practical ideas for simplifying your life, especially as a mom, without feeling overwhelmed or like you have to do it perfectly. It’s the perfect mix of encouragement and actionable advice for anyone who wants to focus on what really matters in life. Highly recommend

I love how relaxing this podcast is! Longtime fan!

I wanted to like this podcast, but just couldn’t. No enthusiasm, excitement, or energy in the host’s voice. Just kinda bland. Also, way too many ads read aloud during the episode. Breaks the focus of the show.

I appreciate the frankness and vulnerability of sharing the gritty details of family transitions. I have been in a similar situation. I am a teacher and stood home after my second child was born during Covid. I just went back to work FT as a teacher after 4 years in the spring. Although my family seems to have gotten over the transitional hump, I find my self struggling with myriad of things. It does take time to adjust and listening to her latest episode on Q&As on going back to work, reminded me of giving myself some grace. Just what I needed. Thank you for sharing.

I love your content but there are way more ads than used to be relative to the length of content generated. A deterrent to listen

The Minimal-ish Podcast with Desirae Endres is like a breath of fresh air! The episode '6 Routines That Help Me Get Intentional at Home' really hit home for me. Desirae makes minimalism feel totally doable, even if you’re juggling work, family, and a never-ending to-do list. Her tips aren’t about perfection—they’re about making life simpler and more meaningful in ways that fit your lifestyle. Listening to this podcast feels like getting advice from a friend who’s in the same season of life, and I love how it helps me focus on what really matters.

Your show has gotten me through when I felt like I was failing at motherhood. Listening to your show while I’m cleaning my house is essential for my mental health!

i think this topic is so important!!!! i so appreciate you talking about phones not being the direction we should want to be going. minimalism is counter cultural and people who live minimally are more likely to understand the harm that their doing. JUST BECAUSE IT’S NORMAL DOESNT MEAN IT’S GOOD!!! amen. thank you.

I love this podcast and what it has taught me and my family. I have learned so much about living with less!!! And it has benefited my life already so much.

I've loved this podcast for a while now. I love that it talks about all different aspects of life through a minimal-ish view. I especially love the most recent podcast with Krista St Germain, as my sister just lost her husband about a week ago, and we are all navigating this new life together. Thank you for what you do!

Practical relatable advice!

I recently found this podcast and it’s been so helpful for me to really think about what I need. The clutter or always having “stuff” is something that is so prevalent to society right now, and this podcast has helped me realize that having “stuff” is ok but having the right stuff helps with making life easier and focus on what’s important… like spending more time with my family.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast and always come out of it feeling good and having some kind of action step I’m ready to take. That’s is for a realistic, comfy podcast!!

My absolute favorite podcast about minimalism because it’s actually accessible and realistic. I’m always learning something but mostly it keeps me encouraged to consistently simplify and focus on what’s most important in life. Thank you Desirae!

*chef’s kiss*

The best podcast I binge-listen to. Practical advice, encouragement, and making me feel like I can get my life and home decluttered. Desiree simplifies things so I don’t feel overwhelmed with practical tips and advice.

I’ve finally found the ideal podcast to listen to while downsizing my belongings! I’m not an extreme minimalist, but I want to be able to easily manage what I do have. Desirae is so balanced in her approach that I find going minimal-ish very doable! Just follow this show already! 5 Stars!

I love putting this podcast on when I clean and need to de-clutter. It gives me hope haha! I love the nonjudgmental attitude of the host and all the guests.

Over the years this is the podcast I just keep coming back to for timeless and practical inspiration. It’s not about fads, labels, or other transient pursuits. The discussion here will help you through the real seasons of life and homemaking, offering countless tools for building a simple and intentional life for you and your family in a truly sustainable way.

Minimalism mindset >>> just getting rid of stuff

I love the refreshing perspective that I hear from this podcast! The value system, wording and care put into this is so relevant to me. I always look forward to the next episode. Keep doing a great job!

We love the Minimal-ish podcast. We love the intentional living mindset. This podcast is full of practical advice on how to live a more intentional and minimal life. Team Grid + Glam

I really enjoy this podcast because it isn’t just about minimalism - it’s about intentionality and being purposeful with what we have.

I’m way into minimalism podcasts these days, but this one feels different. It’s realistic and thoughtful and always one of the first ones I listen to when it shows up in my feed.

Desirae’s topics are well thought out, intentional and uplifting. Some podcasts leave mothers feeling as if they are not enough or never will be. Minimalish does the opposite and provides guidance and insights into a range of topics relating to healthy, happy and simple living and parenting in a humble and judgment free manner, that recognizes that we are all works in progress. Her podcasts consistently keep me focused on the important things in life, and keep me motivated and inspired to continue working towards personal self-growth. Thank you Desirae so much for the meaningful and helpful work that you do!

One of my very favorite podcasts! I have been listening since the first round of Minimal-ish (so glad for the change back to this name :)). Great pace, real content, and I am especially loving the recent episodes for the holidays. I recommend to any friends who ask for podcast recommendations. I look forward to the new episodes each week!

Omg !! I am an avid podcast listener !! This one tops the chart!!!!!! If you are interested in taking back your home ? This is your person !! She hits all the bases I believe she & her guests she chooses is heaven sent 🙏🥰🙏 take back your life and listen trust me !!!!! No nonsense approach all the way !!! 🎧🎧🎧♥️👍🥰 thank you Marie xox

Really enjoyed your holiday / seasonal idea for a peaceful home ❤️

I followed Diane in Denmark here- just wanted to say that this is such a relevant, fun and educational podcast that speaks to me in so many ways. Now subscribed, and I can’t wait to catch up on all of the episodes!

Thank you for a realistic approach to motherhood and minimalism. ❤️

Desirae has a fantastic approach to life and family. Making us all feel like we are doing it right by just being us. I know you went back to work, so we are lucky to have you still doing the podcast. I’m not religious in any way but fully enjoy all these episodes and learn so many new things about myself each time I listen.

I just love Desirea’s approach to minimalism. It’s comfy, it’s cozy, it’s low pressure and a real approach to living a simple life. And her voice is so soothing too.

I’m pretty sure EVERY mom can learn something from this show. Each episode is packed with great ideas or mindset changes that anyone can try. Give it a listen!

It sure does take a long time to get to the point of each topic. Too much fluff

I love all this! Especially because she doesn’t shame or guilt you because motherhood is not linear. Nice voice to listen to also

First episode I listened too and I am hooked with this podcast on seriously making my life better! Less is best ❤️packing only what you need and you don’t need 2 outfits for everyday. Just tried this method for 3 days / 2nights hotel/boating 4th of July weekend. Amazing never going back to anything more than a backpack!!

This is by far my favorite podcast to listen to. I am so happy you chose to go back to the minimalish title as well! The majority of society cannot be complete minimalists anyway so this is such an encouraging way to make this type of thinking seem possible. I love how you bring in different guests to cover a wide range of topics to simplify life. Thank you for all of your content! I truly enjoy all of your episodes. Keep it up!

This is such a refreshing podcast to listen to. The host seems like such a sweetheart and gives solid advice, as do the guests on certain episodes. It always leaves me feeling inspired and up beat.

I am in the thick of a beautiful and hard time in life with a toddler and a new born. I love listening to Desirae’s podcasts on my night time walks. There have been several that are EXACTLY what I had needed to hear in that moment. I have come away with lots of book recommendations, other podcasts to listen to, and ideas to make my days less hectic and more meaningful. Plus her voice is soothing and real. It’s like listening to a friend. I’m loving these, thank you so much!!

Excellent! I love Desirae’s approach to simple living and all things minimal-ish. Her approach is so down to earth and she gives meaningful advice that you can implement right away.

So thankful for how Desirae makes all the lofty goals attainable through the lens of grace!

Yay!! So happy you changed the name back 😊 awesome podcast- can’t wait for the next episode to come out! 💕

I am SO excited that you changed the name back!!! 😍 I love all the things you have to share!

Love that you changed the name back! Love your podcast! It’s so simple, real and inspiring! Thanks for sharing with us!

I really love this podcast, every time there is a new episode it makes my day! Keep up-the good work!

I’ve learned so much from this podcast. She has a great voice and is so relatable as well as informative. 100% recommended to anyone, especially moms.

I love how Desirae shares her journey with intentional living- and not just the successes, but also her struggles! She is real and relatable
