Episode 2483: Joshua Becker highlights the hidden downsides of lavish ceremonies, from financial strain and added stress to the overlooked importance of preparing for marriage itself. A simpler wedding not only saves money but also fosters a more meaningful, joyful celebration - one focused on love rather than excess. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.becomingminimalist.com/the-case-against-extravagant-weddings/ Quotes to ponder: "A wedding is an important day and a significant moment in time. It signifies the day we commit the rest of our lives to another human being to love, cherish, and honor until death do us part." "Extravagant weddings result in increased stress and distraction. Wedding days are stressful enough adding dozens of unnecessary frills and expenses makes them even more so." "Marital happiness has nothing to do with your wedding ceremony. It has everything to do with the weeks and years and life together after." Episode references: The Hope Effect: https://www.hopeeffect.com Learn more about your ad choices.

“Your life is too valuable to waste chasing and accumulating material possessions.” ~ Joshua BeckerThat quote right there just sums it all up for me. While I'm currently living a life FAR from minimalism, the idea that my material possessions are actually detracting  from my life is something I see play out every day. I would MUCH rather spend my time pursing an activity I love (relaxing with a good book, anyone?) or spending quality time with my favorite people rather than fold an ENORMOUS load of laundry because I have too many clothes, or spend an hour picking up/decluttering just so I can clean.  That's why I was so excited to bring Joshua Becker, founder of "Becoming Minimalist", onto my podcast. Joshua has made it his life's work to help and encourage others to "live more with less." He was full of lots of practical advice and tips, including:What is minimalism? What does it look like?What are the benefits of owning (and doing) less?How does one get started? What method do you recommend?Advice for someone who likes the idea but feels too overwhelmed, or has tried decluttering before and “failed.” Joshua Becker is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of five books: Things That Matter, The Minimalist Home, The More of Less, Clutterfree with Kids and Simplify. He is the Founder and Editor of Becoming Minimalist, a website dedicated to intentional living visited by over 1 million readers each month. His blog was named by SUCCESS Magazine as one of the top ten personal development websites on the Internet and his writing has been featured in publications all around the world.He is the Creator of Simplify Magazine and the Founder of The Hope Effect, a nonprofit organization changing how the world cares for orphans. Currently, he lives in Peoria, AZ with his wife and two teenage kids.To learn more about Joshua, visit: https://www.becomingminimalist.com/To learn more about Mindy CLICK HERE

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW - The Hope Effect Millions of orphaned and vulnerable children around the world are growing up without the love of a family. But there is clear and compelling research on the damaging effects of traditional, institutional orphan care. Children should not grow up in orphanages…kids do best when they are raised in families. The Hope Effect is changing orphan care by providing innovative family-style care, which allows every child to flourish and thrive. We are changing the way the world cares for orphans…because every child deserves a family. FOUNDER - Joshua Becker Joshua Becker is an author, speaker, and philanthropist. He has written several best-selling books on minimalism, and his website Becoming Minimalist has more than one million readers each month. Inspired by his wife's experience being adopted, Joshua founded The Hope Effect in 2015. EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR - Joe Darago Joe is the founder and executive director of The Hope Effect. Joe's journey into the orphan care world began more than 20 years ago when he and his wife adopted their daughter Sydney from Korea. Seven years ago, they adopted again – this time an older child from Thailand who spent the early part of her life in an institution. Joe has seen firsthand that children develop best when they are in a family environment, and he is passionate about seeing orphans cared for – not in institutions, but in families.

What would your life look like if you only owned what you truly needed? Joshua Becker shares the life-changing moment that convinced him to live with less and focus on what matters most.    In this episode, Cathy and Joshua discuss:  Defining minimalism and common misconceptions around minimalism  The difference between minimalism vs. decluttering Lightbulb moment that led Joshua to transition to minimalism Do's and don'ts for beginning a minimalist lifestyle Joshua's approach of decluttering your most lived-in space first then working towards the hardest space  Advice for working through learned behaviors of your kids and family Why working with your spouse requires love, patience, grace, and humility  What matters most to Joshua: faith, family and relationships, making a positive difference in the world Tips for those struggling to determine what's most important to them         Memorable Quotes: “The method, the approach…I have found to be the most helpful for the most number of people to work through your home is  easiest to hardest, starting with the most lived-in areas first.” “It's a little bit like building up a muscle…this decluttering muscle, and the stronger you get, the better you get at it.” “There are some things that are difficult to get rid of. And when people get to those—don't stop because it's getting difficult. I think when it's getting difficult is when we take a step back and start asking ourselves questions like, Why is this hard for me to get rid of?”   “I think when we use that freed up time and space and energy to help others to make a positive difference in the world, that this is when we get to the end of our lives and we're most satisfied and we're most most fulfilled…people can pursue minimalism for whatever reason they want.”    Joshua Becker and his young family were introduced to minimalism 12 years ago during a short conversation with their neighbor and he immediately became a pioneer of the Modern Minimalist Movement with his blog, Becoming Minimalist. Through his blog, Joshua's story and writing have inspired millions around the world to find more life by owning fewer possessions. Today, based on his thoughtful and intentional approach to minimalism, he is one of the leading voices in the modern simplicity movement reaching over 2 million readers every month. Joshua is the founder and editor of Becoming Minimalist, a website dedicated to intentional living that was named by SUCCESS Magazine as one of the top ten personal development websites. He is also the USA Today and WSJ best-selling author of 5 books: The Minimalist Home, The More of Less, Simplify, and Clutterfree with Kids. His new book, Things That Matter, will be released in April 2022. He is a contributor to Forbes Magazine and has appeared in the New York Times, USA Today, Boston Globe, Washington Post, Reader's Digest, the Drew Barrymore Show and countless other media outlets—speaking live on 6 different continents and for Fortune 100 countries around the US including Google, Airbnb, and SalesForce.

Welcome friend! Have you ever found yourself wanting to spend hours talking to someone who is not only interesting but also interested in what you have to say? Allow me to introduce you to my friend Joshua Becker. Joshua is here to talk to us about living a meaningful life with no regrets. He shares how we can move past the things holding us back and how we don't feel as much regret if we are in service to others. You know that I just love when research backs up what we've known for thousands of years.  Joshua Becker is a prolific author, father of two, and founded a nonprofit organization for orphans called The Hope Effect. He is also the founder and editor of Becoming Minimalist, a website dedicated to intentional living for the last 13 years. (He's been blogging on the internet almost as long as I have!).  Listen in to learn more about:  Joshua's journey from being a youth pastor in Vermont to being a full-time blogger and embracing his minimalist journey.  What minimalism is and how others can push back against it. How to overcome past mistakes that may make you feel regretful. Practical steps for those who choose to become more minimalist. Favorite quotes: Possessions were not the only distraction that kept me from pursuing my best and most meaningful, fruitful life.  Why would I want to chase more money if I don't need more money to live on? Admit the mistakes, notice them and do your best to learn from them. We can redeem our past mistakes if we allow them to recreate who we are. Minimalism, to me,  has always been removing the things I don't need, so I can focus on pursuits that are more important in the short run and long run.  Great things we discussed:  Fitbod app The Greatest Salesman in the World - Book The Office deep dive podcast The Office - TV series Elevation worship - Iheart radio Costco - Stroopwafels Joshua Becker website  Inventing Anna - Netflix series The Crown - TV series Ray LaMontagne - It's always been you If my marriage had a soundtrack  - Spotify Playlist Confident Motherhood Community Hope you loved this episode!

Conversation Notes: 3:51 - How cleaning out a garage led to exploring minimalism 6:00 - "Not only was everything I owned not making me happy, even worse, everything I owned was taking me away from things that did bring me happiness and purpose and meaning and significance and joy." 6:54 - Possessions have become a big distraction in a lot of people's lives 8:00 - Ideas on how owning less can help us be more effective in our parenting. 9:28 - When we focus less than the things we do not have we have opportunity to appreciate the things that we do have. 10:31 - "It is about aligning our lives around our values as opposed to being distracted by things that do not matter in the long run" 12:05 - More stuff never resolves our discontentment 13:18 - Jesus  said, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Luke 12:15 13:40 - Examining our motivations behind work and collecting more stuff 17:12 - How minimalism opened Joshua's eyes to a new passion and approach to orphans and adoption. 18:30 - The Hope Effect 20:30 - Multi-generational influence of Joshua's family 22:50 - “I want to be as engaged and live each day as meaningfully as I possibly can” 23:50 - The big mistake of how much time and energy was invested into chasing the wrong things 24:30 - The mistake of wanting his kids to have the same qualities and attributes as their dad 25:10 - “So much of parenting is being intentional. So much is just studying our children and learning who they are.” 27:20 - Joshua describes two types of peace - peace in our circumstances and peace with the life that we're living 28:25 - “We can find peace in how we know that we're doing our best even though our best isn't perfect. I can still find peace in the life that I'm living.” 29:33 - “When the world is turning upside-down, when we're in these moments of trial and turmoil, we can know that there is a God who loves me, who is watching out for me, and a God who knows best.” 29:56 - “The things that are taking place around me may not bring me happiness; they may not bring me joy; they may be very difficult. But I always have that rock that I fall back upon. I can know that no matter how hard the wind is blowing… I have an anchor, and there is a God who loves me and is taking care of me and is watching over me.” 31:41 - Joshua talks about the benefits of fewer toys (both for kids and adults) 32:30 - Research about fewer toys leading to creativity and imagination and problem solving and contentment 35:00 - “Kids who don't learn boundaries become adults who don't define them for themselves.” 36:00 - “We overcome envy by focusing on the blessings we have, focusing on our uniqueness and what makes us special, and knowing we're directing our resources on what matters the most. This is where we overcome envy and start to find peace in our lives.” 37:06 - “We we find our greatest peace when... we know we're being intentional with our time and our money and our schedule and our space... when we can say I'm doing in this moment what I think God would have me to do... that this is where we find peace in our lives."
