Minimalism For Beginners


The Millennial Minimalists Podcast

Lauren and Kelly are Canadian millennial minimalists. They use their podcast to share inspiration on ways to live a life with simplicity and intention.

The episodes cover a variety of topics including productivity, vulnerability and how to face the challenges that the minimalist lifestyle can present.


The Minimalists Podcast

If you’re following a minimalist lifestyle (or just trying to find out where to start), then chances are you will have heard of The Minimalists – aka Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus.

The Minimalists Podcast discusses all kinds of different ways you can bring more meaning to your life with less. And they’ve helped 20 million people so far, so these guys are good at what they do.

Often, you’ll find their podcast in the #1 spot for health on Apple Podcasts. Occasionally, they’re even in the Top 10 of all shows!

There are over 150 episodes listed which cover topics from financial independence and positive thinking to simple choices and how to declutter your life.


Poppy Tree Minimalist Podcast

If you’re at the start of your minimalist journey, why not work your way through the episodes of the Poppy Tree Minimalist podcast?

Episodes follow Mia’s journey from a life filled with clutter towards the minimalist lifestyle she’s working towards.

As Mia was a beginner when she started the podcast, this is an honest reflection of the challenges you might face as you work towards minimalism yourself.

 More Than Minimalism


The Sustainable Minimalists Podcast

This one takes the minimalist concept one step further, with the addition of sustainability.

These topics go hand-in-hand and this podcast covers them in detail. Host Stephanie Seferian also seeks to provide information on zero-waste living, parenting, decluttering, and conscious consumerism.

Her website, Mama Minimalist, aims to provide a community to eco-conscious women, taking them ‘on a collective journey towards sustainable simplicity’.


The Minimalist Vegan Podcast

Minimalist and vegan? Tune in to hear Michael & Masa Ofei discuss what it means to live with intention.

Each Monday, there’s a new episode covering a host of topics – including veganism, zero-waste living, how to more productive, and, of course, minimalism.

Achieving Happiness Through Minimalism Podcasts


Live Happy Now Podcast

Listen along to interviews with some of the most knowledgeable people in the fields of mindfulness and positive psychology.

The Live Happy Now website gives you the option to filter episodes by category – these include home, happiness and inspiration, among others – so it’s easy to find something that’s relevant to you and your minimalism journey.


Zen Habits Radio

This podcast is linked to Leo Babauta’s Zen Habits blog, where he explores (and challenges) some of the problems we all seem to have – not having enough time to do everything we need or want to and the feeling of inadequacy or “not being enough”.

Recent topics have included ‘The Biggest Reason We Don’t Stay on a Regular Exercise Habit’ and ‘The Face Everything Technique: Why Avoiding Difficulties Doesn’t Work’.


10 Percent Happier Podcast

If you haven’t heard of Dan Harris, here’s a bit of background information…

In 2004, whilst he was working for ABC as a news anchor, Dan experienced a panic attack while he was on air.

Following this attack, he decided to learn meditation (despite previously being skeptical about its benefits) and writing a bestselling book called 10% Happier.

Subsequently, he launched an app, ‘10% Happier: Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics’. This weekly podcast sees Dan exploring if it’s possible to be ambitious while striving for enlightenment.

There are some top quality guest speakers in some of the episodes, too.

Simple Living Podcasts


The Smart and Simple Matters Podcast

This one’s had hundreds of thousands of downloads, so it’s certainly popular. Joel Zaslofsky uses this podcast to ‘explore the slower side of life’, considering topics such as simplicity, mindfulness, and living with intention.

Episodes cover topics like meditation, gratitude, minimalism, and primal-living – and Joel regularly invites guest speakers to share their own experiences.


The Simplicity Sessions Podcast

This podcast focuses on one of the key concepts of minimalism – simplicity. It offers lifestyle tips and tools for women looking to make the best of their life in all areas – from health, hormones, finances, and mindset.

Many of the episodes feature knowledgeable guest speakers and people who are willing to share stories of their own personal challenges with listeners.

Live Your Best Minimalist Life Podcasts


The Effective Minimalist Podcast

This personal audio diary discusses ways you can live a good life. Each episode sees the host sharing their own experiences of applying minimalist concepts to their own lifestyle.

Listen along as they transform their life of clutter and make more space and time for what really matters. There are some great, practical tips to apply to your own lifestyle, particularly within the ‘Email and tasks’ and “Pushback” episodes.


The Slow Home Podcast

The tagline for this one is “slow living for a fast world”, so this is one of the best simple living podcasts.

It’s aimed at people who want to escape from the pressures of racing through life, trying to keep up with the Jones’s and never saying no.

If you want to take things a little more slowly, simplify your lifestyle and spend more time focusing on the things that are important to you, this is the podcast for you.

In each episode, you can find out more about what makes people want to make this change, how your life could be different if you move to a slower pace of life and how to get started.


OPTIMAL LIVING DAILY PODCAST

This website sees Justin Malik and his team searching daily for the best online content on topics like minimalism, personal development and health – then they read it out to you on their daily podcast.

It’s a simple yet effective concept – a daily digest of great content and an easy way to remove the hard work of finding decent blogs to read – meaning you have more time to start applying the principles learned to your own life.

Decluttering Podcasts


The Clear You Clutter Podcast

Clutter – it gets in the way of everything. It can stop you from living the lifestyle you deserve. And it can come in many forms – physical clutter is the most obvious, but it’s also possible to have energetic, spiritual, emotional and mental clutter.

Find out how to declutter your life from top to bottom with Julie Coraccio’s podcast series.

Once you’ve decluttered, you’ll have space and time to pursue your passions, lead a happier life – and share your experiences in the hope that you can help somebody else improve their own life.


An Uncluttered Life Podcast

If you’re fed up of feeling as though you’re not living the life you deserve, this podcast is here to help.

The podcast is no longer running but receives an honorable mention as there are 185 episodes that still have the power to apply to your life today.

I’d suggesting working your way from the beginning to make sure you don’t miss anything. Episodes cover topics that will be relevant to pretty much anyone – from “thriving in the midst of loss” and “the emotional blocks to decluttering” to “how to make and keep friends” and “how to be happy”.

If you have a specific area you want to focus on, take a scroll through the episodes – they all have descriptive titles, so you’re sure to find one to help you here.

Career Minimalist Podcasts


Office Anywhere Podcast

Peter Fritz is a middle-aged father of three. He’s been divorced twice (and broke twice) and his mission is to help people over the age of 40 make the best of their midlife years (avoiding the classic crisis stage!)

This podcast sees Peter discussing all the amazing benefits of working remotely – and how “the simple act of working how and where you choose can change everything”.

Living with purpose is certainly easier if you have the freedom to plan your own time, so considering a remote working career is a great place to start your minimalism journey.


The Tim Ferriss Show Podcast

Have you heard of Tim Ferriss? If not, then you’ve probably heard of The 4-Hour Work Week (and if you haven’t, doesn’t it sound fabulous?!)

This podcast sees Tim interviewing a range of people to find out their favorite ways to apply the principles of minimalism to their lifestyles – including tips, tools and tactics.

And while they might all apply (or even appeal) to everyone, all of the episodes are entertaining and you’re bound to learn something from listening in.
