Episode description

Every Wednesday on the Hippie Haven podcast, learn how to live harmoniously with yourself, others & the planet. We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more.

My guest today is Kristyn Ivey founder of For the Love of Tidy. She is Chicago's first platinum certified KonMari consultant. Kristyn is dedicated to teaching busy families, professionals, and creative entrepreneurs, how to let go of stuff and attract a truly abundant life. Educated in both engineering and interior design, Kristyn applies her project management background and innate creativity to transform homes with order and style all in harmony with the KonMari method, dedicated to Marie Kondo's mission to inspire the world, to choose joy. Kristyn helps clients declutter their way to becoming graduates of tidy and masters of life. Today, we talk about how to start the decluttering process, how clearing out your space saves you both time and money, and how to sustainably declutter during the COVID pandemic let's get started.

The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values. That same year, at age 23, she started Bestowed Essentials, a handmade line of eco-friendly beauty & home products that are now stocked in over 100 stores around the US & Canada. Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community. In December 2019, she opened The Hippie Haven in Rapid City, South Dakota - a zero waste retail store & community space with a little free library - the first of its kind in the state.
