Essential: Uncover & Break Your Mental Blocks with Brandon Epstein
What if the fastest way to change isn’t adding more, but rather letting go? Today we’re talking about how to break your mental roadblocks so you can think and feel better. This snippet from Episode 211 features world-class mental performance coach and international bestselling author Brandon Epstein. A former football player, Brandon now helps leading athletes, founders, and creators think more clearly and feel better by upgrading their thoughts and emotional habits. Together, Kelly and Brandon explore the overlap between mental performance and minimalism, including how our default is to add when we want change, even though the real shift often comes from letting go. They dig into why fear hooks us, how early core wounds shape our patterns, and what it takes to reprogram unhelpful habits and beliefs such as by getting curious, naming our patterns, and rewriting the script. Brandon explains how the subconscious mind can bend our view of reality when it runs on old beliefs and why our job is to "update the code." You’ll be encouraged to pause and ask: What emotion am I feeling right now? and What do I believe to be true? Be inspired to pause, get curious, and break unhelpful mental patterns for more peace.

Essential: Ease Your Anxiety with Dr. Lauren Cook
How would your life change if anxiety wasn’t an enemy to fight, but a whole-body signal you could learn to move through? In this Essential Series episode, you will learn that anxiety is a whole-body experience and how you can train your mind to move through anxiety instead of fighting it. This is a snippet from Episode 181, where Kelly speaks with licensed clinical psychologist, bestselling author, speaker, and TikTok therapist, Dr. Lauren Cook, to share insights from her international bestselling book, Generation Anxiety. In Generation Anxiety, Lauren describes the “three main sharks” that trigger anxiety (our own minds, society at large, and other people) and explains why naming our triggers can help us move through discomfort. They also talk about how anxiety shows up not only in our thoughts but also in our sleep, energy, and gut, and how certain food choices can cause or worsen anxiety, while others may ease it. Plus, you will learn how anxiety can run as a habit loop, how avoiding these feelings can keep the cycle going, and how becoming curious about our anxiety and changing our habits can make life feel lighter. Be inspired to ease overwhelm and feel calmer every day. Follow Millennial Minimalists: Follow Twenty Outfit Wardrobe: Website:

Essential: Less Stress in Love, More Connection with Thais Gibson
Want less stress in love and more connection? Start by knowing your attachment style! In this snippet from Episode 201, Kelly sits down with relationship expert and best-selling author, Thais Gibson, to unpack attachment theory and how understanding your own style and the style of the people you care about can make relationships calmer and closer. Thais explains the four main attachment styles (secure, anxious, avoidant, dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant) and shows how early formed patterns can linger as unconscious “relational clutter” that shapes how we ask for needs and respond to closeness. You will be encouraged to think about your own attachment style and you will learn how knowing your style can help you bring calm during moments of conflict. Plus, Thais and Kelly discuss a real conflict situation between two opposing styles to show how, by recognizing each person’s needs, the situation can be alleviated and turned into connection. Be inspired to understand your attachment style and strengthen your connections with the people who matter most. Follow Millennial Minimalists: Follow Twenty Outfit Wardrobe: Website:
