Minimalist Moms

Join me as a listener of Smart Money Happy Hour with Rachel Cruze and George Kamel. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

A father of three with a stressful job, Tyler Moore felt his life resembled an overstuffed closet: disorganized and overly busy behind the tidy, closed doors. When it all became too much—for their 750-square-foot apartment and his nerves—he set out to unpack the physical and emotional mess around him. In today's conversation, we explore the broader concept of tidiness beyond physical decluttering, touching on mental health, personal values, and routines. The conversation also delves into balancing career, creative pursuits, and family life, highlighting the importance of grounding one's lifestyle in core values.About Tyler |Tyler Moore is the creator of the hugely popular “Tidy Dad” Instagram, TikTok, and website. A public school teacher in New York City, husband, and father of three young daughters, he has been featured on Good Morning America and in The Washington Post, The New York Times, New York Post, Better Homes & Gardens Secrets of Getting Organized magazine, Apartment Therapy, and many podcasts including HGTV and Minimalist Moms. During the school year, he lives with his wife, Emily, a pediatric occupational therapist, and daughters in Queens, New York. In the summer, they spend as much time as possible in their small but tidy cottage in the Poconos.Links Discussed in This Episode |Order a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicityDiane's Resource: Diane's Resource: Quote "Thought is not reality, yet it is through thought that our realities are created." - Sydney BanksPrevious Episode: EP264: "Just Enough" Stuff with Tyler Moore (@thetidydad)Previous Episode: EP280: Am I a Minimalist Because I'm Surrounded By MAXIMALISTS? with Melissa RisenhooverBook: Be Ready When the Luck Happens: A MemoirTyler Resource: Greg appTyler Can't Stop Talking About: Macy's Day ParadeConnect with Tyler:InstagramBook: Tidy Up Your Life: Rethinking How to Organize, Declutter, and Make Space for What Matters MostWebsiteWork with Me |If you’ve been struggling with motivation to declutter or work through bad habits that keep you stuck, I’d love to help you achieve your goals!
