More Stories Less Stuff

More Stories Less Stuff is a collection of inspirational stories written by a community of women for other women. 

Storytelling that thoughtfully shares a glimpse into each writer’s “why” behind her simple and intentional lifestyle. The benefits shared through vulnerable words on each page bring the writers’ individual voices and experiences to life.

As you read through each story, our hope is that our words inspire you to take the time in your own life to slow down, to find calm and joy in simple everyday moments. While genuinely asking yourself what you need and taking the time to truly nurture your own personal wellbeing.

This book is not a “how,” although there are many tips sprinkled throughout. The focus is our “why” - together we are sharing the benefits of living a simple and intentional lifestyle, while making space for more stories and less stuff.

This anthology is a passion project by Ashley McLean, with stories submitted by home organizers, podcast hosts, YouTubers, minimalists and sustainable business founders.
