Hello friends! 👋 We need your help please! We've decided to change our name. Mostly Mindful is no longer a good fit for us. (Think tight 80s Ronald Sassoon jeans.) We've come up with three names and we'd love for you to vote for your favorite. Love, sporty, Ang, and Mr Handsome. ❤️ 😃 😃 😺

Sentimental clutter isn’t just “stuff.” It’s the hardest kind of clutter because it carries love, memory, and identity.

In our latest Substack post, Sporty shares the experience of receiving her mom’s jewelry after she passed away, and why letting go of sentimental items is so tricky. We also talk about gentle, practical ways to approach it.

💸 Extreme Frugality in Real Life 💸
Life just threw us a big curveball — health challenges + a sudden income drop = it’s full-on frugal mode. 🥦☕📚

In today’s Substack post, we’re sharing what we’ve had to cut, what we’re keeping, and how we’re making this season of less actually work.

Spoiler: it’s tougher than we expected, but not all doom and gloom. 💪✨

Hey Mostlies 👋

We’d planned to go live today with pics from Namaqualand with flower fields + picnic vibes. Unfortunately, life had other plans. Some health challenges have popped up again, and right now the priority is rest and recovery. 💛

We’re sorry to miss this chance to connect live — we were really looking forward to it! But we’ll be back soon with stories, videos, and conversations. In the meantime, thanks for being such a kind, patient community.

Take care of yourselves (and each other). 🌿

👗 Work Wardrobe… Now What?

Hey Mostlies 👋

Retirement (or even just shifting to a slower pace of life) isn’t only about what you gain — it’s also about what you let go of.

For many of us, that means staring down a closet full of work clothes. Suits. Heels. Blouses. The whole “work persona.”

But what happens to those clothes now? Do we keep a few? Repurpose them? Donate them?

That’s what we’re talking about in this week’s video:
👉 *Work Wardrobe, Now What?* → https://youtu.be/fFE0p6mGrqg

We’d love to hear from you:
What’s been the hardest piece of clothing for YOU to let go of?

💬 Share your story below — your answer might just inspire someone else who’s staring at their own “closet full of the past.”

Thank You ❤️ + Key Takeaways from Our Live

Hey Mostlies 👋

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for Sunday's Live 🙏 It was so good to connect in real time, share another of our stories, and more importantly, hear your thoughts.

If you missed it, you can catch the replay here → https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE0-f...

A few key takeaways from our chat:
💬 Money really means nothing if you don’t have your health.
💬 “Boundaries” don’t help if your job is still breaking you.
💬 Sometimes quitting is the bravest self-care move you can make.
💬 Unlearning harmful habits (like overworking) is just as important as building new ones.
💬 It’s never too late to break the cycle and choose differently.

If this hit home for you, the replay is worth a watch. And let us know in the comments — have you ever had to choose between your health and your job? What did you do?
