Do your parents or in-laws bring Dollar Store toys every time they visit?

Do they bring toys from your childhood as gifts for your kids?

Do you feel guilty letting go of gifts because you’re worried about dishonoring your loved ones?

In this episode, I’m chatting with Khrystyne Jaspers - a wife, mom of two, and a small space coach living in a one bedroom in Manhattan. We talk about all things gift-giving - how to navigate conversations with “generous” loved ones, how to approach decluttering with kids, ideas for consumable and experience gifts, and much more!

About Khrystyne: Khrystyne has spent her entire adult life in one bedroom apartments around the world. As a small space coach, she has taught thousands on the art of mindful living and how to uncover possibility and sustainability no matter the size of your home. She lives in Manhattan with her two kids and husband in a 1 bedroom apartment.
