Emily and Team Simplified have *loved* connecting with you for the last three years on The Simplified Podcast. Starting in January 2024, the place to hear from Emily each week will be on her Substack! At the Emily Ley Substack, you'll get 3 posts from Emily each week, filled with tips and resources—and now, a community!—on how to simplify your life so you can make space for growth, along with margin for what matters most.  Join Emily here! ➡️ http://emilyley.substack.com

In 2023, we have two wishes for you: that balance would come to you with ease, and through all your days, your spirit feels the warmth of joy and abundant life.    In this episode, Emily’s going to take you through three routines—one daily, one weekly, and one monthly—that will bring you back to center and feed your spirit. And why does that matter? Because if your spirit is nourished, then sister, then you’ve got enough kindling to handle whatever comes your way. And no matter what happens, your fire will keep burning. 🔥   * * * GET Audio Episodes Ad Free + Early Access to New Episodes https://apple.co/3ICMUmk READ the Show Notes https://emilyley.com/podcast    SHOP Simplified Planners & Products! https://emilyley.com    GET Emily’s New Book! https://emilyleybooks.com/sure-as-the-sunrise    * * * SUBSCRIBE to The Simplified Podcast!

How can you shape your home to nurture your heart in this particular season? What you needed ten years ago probably isn’t what you need right now. And today, Jen Robin, founder of the organizational firm Life in Jeneral, is going to help you create a home you love! Jen and Emily talk about the room that gets the most “bang for your organizational buck,” how to tame the spaces where clutter tends to add up, hacks to clean your car, and the most important question to ask yourself before you start making big and small changes to your home.   PS: This episode is not a shame-inducing list of all the things you’re doing wrong in your home. It’s a permission slip to create a home that works the way you need it to, so you can get to love and laughter and the good stuff a little bit faster.   * * * GET Audio Episodes Ad Free + Early Access to New Episodes https://apple.co/3ICMUmk READ the Show Notes https://emilyley.com/podcast    SHOP Simplified Planners & Products! https://emilyley.com    GET Emily’s New Book! https://emilyleybooks.com/sure-as-the-sunrise    * * * SUBSCRIBE to The Simplified Podcast!

Do you find yourself saying, I wish someone else would decide what we’re having for dinner, or which movie to watch, or what to buy for teacher gifts? Then, friend, you need to try out this concept: “Decide once.” Coined by The Lazy Genius herself, Kendra Adachi, “decide once” is going to transform your 2023! It’ll take out the stress of decision fatigue and hand you the peace that comes from decisions you’ve made for your season: Taco Tuesdays, teachers get a gift card to the local bookstore, “On Wednesdays, we wear pink”—the possibilities are endless. Kendra shares her favorite “decide once” choices, along with how to start small, why brainless crowdpleasers will save your weeknights, and so much more.   Thanks to our episode sponsor!

As we close our Simplifying 2022 series, Emily has a few tips to help you transition from holiday mode back into your regular life.

The last few years have shown us just how important it is to have rich connections with others—that’s especially true of having strong friendships. Before the pandemic, you might’ve noticed your friendships have changed in shape and number over the year. For a lot of us, these kinds of changes can leave us feeling a little lonely, and even unsure of how to make new friends as an adult. In the third part of our Simplifying 2022 series, Emily is joined by one of her dearest friends, Jane, on the show to talk all things friendship! They talk about how their own friendship began a couple years ago, some of the challenges they’ve found in making adult friendships, and how they’ve learned to create space to be vulnerable and let others in, because authenticity helps new and old friendships blossom and grow.   SALE!

Welcome to Day 2 of our Simplifying 2022 series! As you prep for the new year, you may be thinking through new goals or priorities you want to pursue. When we sit down to plan at Team Simplified, we ask ourselves this question: what matters most to me? We’ve found that clarifying what matters most to us—whether it’s caring for family, carving out time to try a new hobby, or growing our business—clears the mental clutter so we can make room to focus on the most important things. Today, Emily’s going to give you the tools do help you find what matters most to you, so you can be on your way to helping your 2022 be your best year yet.   SALE!

You may have just put mums and pumpkins on your front porch, but here’s a poorly-kept secret: it’s *never* too early to start planning for the holidays. Emily’s got three easy, doable things you can do to start prepping for special meals, gifts, and schedules so you can get some time (and sanity!) back when your calendar starts to fill up soon. Here’s the thing: joy isn’t found just in the spontaneous moments. It’s also found in moments we planned for, because we made space in our lives for them. And when you’ve got time to enjoy a cup of cocoa with your family instead of frantically wrapping presents in your bedroom, you’ll hive-five yourself for getting a holiday head start.   Thanks to our episode sponsors!   “JESUS LISTENS” BY SARAH YOUNG | Get your copy at Barnes & Noble (https://bit.ly/3CbdRd8) or at your favorite book retailer today!    GEMMIST | Visit gemmist.com and enter code SIMPLIFIED at checkout for 20% off your personalized hair care subscription and free 2-day shipping.   * * * GET EMILY’S LATEST BOOK!
