Finding a way to learn valuable lessons in order to shape my life in a better direction than my parent’s? Well, that really seemed like the only option.

I've spent the last seven years talking about minimalism, and decluttering my life, but the reality is, it has been so much more than that. Before I decided to downsize my stuff, I first decided I needed to find myself. Sure, I was a shopaholic with a monthly shoe membership subscription, but I knew there was so much more to me than that.

This podcast, is my diary - on a decade delay.Join the Basic B* CommunityAll the links Get full access to Basic B*tch Seeks Enlightenment at reneebenes.substack.com/subscribe
