Rachel Jones of Nourishing Minimalism talks about how minimal living inspires creativity Episode 2859: The Art of Less: How Minimal Living Inspires Creativity by Rachel Jones of Nourishing Minimalism Rachel started her journey to minimalism in 2008, struggling with depression and horribly embarrassed by the messy state of her home. Her goal for pursuing minimalism was to find contentment and joy in spending time with family and being able to focus on Christ. What she found was that minimalism wasn’t the answer. But it is a tool to use to help you focus on what’s important. Her mission is to help others turn their home into their own personal oasis. Having found an immense amount of freedom with minimalism, it's her goal to share the methods of simplifying and the tools that she had to rely on (and still does!) to maintain a home that is easy to take care of and a joyful space to live.
