How do you live a life on purpose and what does that even mean?

In this episode with Erica Layne from the Life on Purpose Movement, we talk about where to get started in being more intentional with your life if you're feeling overwhelmed. Erica gives realistic tips on how to determine what to say no to and how to actually do it when you're nervous about others' feelings about it. 

Erica gives her own definition of minimalism and how we can apply those concepts beyond just what we own. Finally, we also discuss how being an introvert can affect how you parent and how you might take that into consideration to maintain your energy in your everyday life.
