• 5 Simple Ways to Help Kids Eat More Fruits & Vegetables | Brittany Shaver (EP418) [Sponsored by Washington Red Raspberries]

  Today’s guest says the problem isn’t that kids hate fruits and vegetables—it’s that we’ve forgotten how to make healthy food simple, fun, and actually doable. She’s on a mission to help families ditch the guilt and perfectionism around food and find joy in feeding their bodies well again. Brittany Shaver, mom of three and head of content at Clean Food Dirty Girl, joins me to talk about simple, realistic ways to get your family eating more fruits and vegetables without stress, shame, or chaos. In this episode, we unpack what it means to lead by example, let go of “perfect eating,” and build healthy habits that last. If you’ve ever felt stuck between wanting to eat better and just trying to survive dinner time, this conversation will help you find the sweet spot between healthy and human.This episode is sponsored by Washington Red Raspberries.Links Discussed in This Episode |Diane's Resource: Weekly Snack BinsBook: The Soup BookBlog Post: Plant-Based on a BudgetBook: Cook Once, Eat All WeekDocumentaries: Forks Over Knives | What the HealthBook: Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat: Why Well-Raised Meat Is Good for You and Good for the PlanetCopia FarmSouper CubesConnect with Brittany:WebsiteInstagramPodcastAbout Brittany |Brittany Shaver is the head of content and design for Clean Food Dirty Girl, a woman-owned company specializing in whole-food plant-based meal plans.

  Setting your intentions to get regular quality sleep takes some work. From changing lifestyle habits to being mindful of your sleep hygiene, there are a lot of factors to consider in the quest to get better rest – including creating a tranquil space to slip into deep, restorative sleep. However, the bedroom tends to be a catchall for the day, including discarded clothes, bags, shoes, accessories, a workspace and more. Can all this clutter disrupt your sleep? Probably not – but it can disrupt your peace of mind. This is where Terry Craelle, RN, sleep expert and representative of the Better Sleep Council comes in! Today Terry answers the questions: Does a messy/disorganized bedroom actually affect one’s sleep? What are some other tips for “tidying” your sleep rituals? What's sleep hygiene? If someone is overwhelmed with all the advice, what’s *one thing* they can start doing tonight to tidy their sleep habits? Terry’s goal is to share clever hacks for decluttering your bedroom and reclaiming your zone of relaxation to sleep soundly!-------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityConnect with Terry:Instagram | FacebookBetter Sleep Council (BSC)Episode Sponsors |The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors.

• Creating Digital Boundaries When Offline Isn't an Option | Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr (EP417)

  We’re all using — and parenting around — a technology we didn’t grow up with, so it makes sense that we feel overwhelmed. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr, researcher, professor, and author of Smartphone Nation, to talk about how we can move from feeling powerless to empowered in our digital lives. Dr. Regehr introduces her groundbreaking concept of “digital nutrition,” a framework that helps us understand which types of screen time nourish us — and which quietly drain our energy, focus, and joy. Together, we explore how to set thoughtful tech boundaries, guide our kids toward healthy digital habits, and reclaim presence and peace in a hyperconnected world.Links Discussed in This Episode |Diane's Resource: Post - Convenience Culture is Making Us MeanerConnect with Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr:WebsiteInstagramBook: Smartphone Nation: Building Digital Boundaries When Offline Isn't an Option About Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr |Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr is a world-renowned expert on the cultural impacts of social media.

• [REPLAY] Messy Minimalism: Realistic Strategies for the Rest of Us | Rachelle Crawford

  Think minimalism means a perfectly curated, always tidy home? Think again. Drowning in tides of toys, overflowing closets, and a crazy schedule, Rachelle Crawford assumed you had to be naturally organized to keep a tidy living space. Then she found minimalism: the messy, real-life kind, that is less about perfection and more about purpose. Becoming a messy minimalist is not about turning into someone else; it's about clearing away clutter and expectations to unearth who you really are. Join me today as I speak with Rachelle about her journey into 'messy minimalism' and how we can inspire those around us to begin their own step into minimalism (whether big or small!)Links Discuss in this Episode:Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityConnect with Rachelle:WebsiteInstagramBook: Messy Minimalism: Realistic Strategies for the Rest of Us Episode Sponsors |The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors.
