288: The Art of Curating How to Love Your Home Again

Maximized Minimalist Podcast

Discover the Magic of Curating Your Space

This week, I’m taking you on a journey from cluttered chaos to intentional curation—because your home deserves to feel more like an inspiring gallery and less like an overwhelming storage unit. Inspired by my youngest son Levi’s adorable obsession with rocks (and how we turned his collection into a curated treasure), I’ll share why curating your home isn’t about perfection—it’s about connection.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The difference between collecting and curating—and why it matters for your home.
• How to uncover your home’s story and decide what deserves a prime spot in your “gallery.”
• Practical steps to highlight your “masterpieces” and let go of the filler that’s taking up space.
• Why leaving room for meaning and breathing space transforms how you feel about your home.
