Rich in What Matters - The Best of 2023: Our Top 5 Posts

Reflecting on Rich in What Matters' past year, two words come to mind: gratitude and awe.

I'm amazed to see how the Rich in What Matters community continues to grow. This year the blog welcomed over a million readers, doubled our community's subscribers, and doubled the number of people in our social media community—all which led to a book deal!

The message of minimalism and simplicity is such a needed message today, and this growth reflects that!

This community is as much yours as it is mine, and I'm thankful for all of you. Thank you to everyone who faithfully reads the blog, shares the posts, and supports this message of simple, intentional living. Without you, there would be no Rich in What Matters community.

I'm committed to helping you live more simply with less stuff and am excited to bring you many more articles in 2024! (And a book in late 2024/early 2025!)

To ring in the new year, I'm offering my signature course Rich in What Matters (normally $199) for 50% off until midnight Sunday 12/31! Learn more here (the FB community is SO fun and there is a 30 day money back guarantee – give it a try if you're interested. These 50% off sales are rare :)

I'm also highlighting my top 5 most popular blog posts (in order) below in case you missed any of them!
