Episode Summary

My guest, Thea D. Parker, discusses self-love, minimalism, and the journey to getting unstuck. Thea shares her personal story of growing up with a hoarder mother, which led her to develop a habit of throwing things away and finding joy in minimalism. 

Through online groups and blogs, Thea discovered that minimalism was more than just organizing – it was a lifestyle choice. She discusses her method of determining if items spark joy to the connection between mental and physical well-being and minimalism.

Thea’s determination to break the cycle of hoarding and create a different life for her family led them to move six times in seven years. She also emphasizes the importance of delegation, acknowledging that trying to do all tasks yourself leads to stress and anguish. 

As a coach, Thea focuses on helping women discover and pursue their passions and dreams. She stresses the importance of saying yes to new experiences, practicing self-care, and supporting other black women in their journey.
