“An absolute must have podcast
Katy Wells brings content to her listeners full of heart, simplicity, hope, impact, vulnerability, silliness, honesty, and change.
I started listening half heartedly after finishing up a 14 day clutter crusher challenge of hers because I wanted to keep what I had learned fresh, and after just one episode I was blown away! It was a snowball effect from there.
I remember specifically listening to episode 186: 6 Ways Social Media Causes us to Overspend and being shocked by the take away I got from it. Before the episode I though okay sure, she’s going to say these few things and challenge our thoughts on this and that. A quarter of the way into listening I felt like my jaw had dropped to the floor because some how I was feeling convicted about something entirely different than what I thought I was going to hear from her. I started a podcast about social media and spending but walked away challenged in my thoughts about sustainability, community, mental clutter, visual clutter, and so much more. How could 20 minutes be jammed packed with so much? Not only did I immediately delete so many apps from my phone (something I said I was going to do for years but never actually did), but I changed my screen and all notifications. Not only have my shopping habits drastically changed but my overall mood and approach to my phone did as well.
I was hooked from that moment on and actually decided to start at the beginning. So far she has kept me laughing, crying, engaged, excited, challenged, and motivated. Her guests are incredible and are also like minded, vulnerable, relatable, and funny. Each episode, even if it seems like something I wouldn’t be interested in offers incite, motivation, and clarity. Another quick example … I used to scoff at mindfulness and meditation. After listening to episode 12: Hot Mess to Mindful Momma, Ali Katz’s One Minute to Zen book immediately went on my must read list and I am going to start meditating for the first time in my life, something I have been very outwardly closed to for years!!
The secret to this podcast being the jewel that is it is, is Katy’s heart to serve others and share. Her progress over perfection mentality allows these messages to resonate and be applicable to anyone anywhere at anytime. Once again, If you want to simplify your life and are looking for a path towards that, Maximized Minimalist is a must listen!!”
