#42: Finding time, money, freedom, happiness ("Downsizing Ninja" Rita Wilkins)

Rita Wilkins was an interior designer with 11 closets and 9 rolling racks of clothes. But it wasn’t until she traded her 5000 square foot home for a 867 square foot apartment that she found what she was really looking for: time, money and freedom to travel.

 

Wilkins talks with CoveyClub founder, Lesley Jane Seymour, about the year that changed her life and what made her realize that stuff could not fill the loneliness she felt.  You can find Rita at Design Services, LTD (http://www.designservicesltd.com/) and her TedX talk (http://www.designservicesltd.com/2018/06/11/ritas-tedx-talk-downsize-your-life/).

 

Her Youtube “The ABCs of Downsizing” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTwvspn30RI)

gets you started with practical tips. Her favorite, inspirational book is "The Stories We Leave Behind" by Laura Gilbert (https://amzn.to/2WxhK8f) and her favorite blog is Joshua Becker’s “Becoming Minimalist” (https://www.becomingminimalist.com/).
