Then, in 2006, she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and was forced to look at her life habits. She started by changing her diet and ended by quitting her job and getting rid of the vast majority of her belongings. The results' She is happier, calmer and hasn't had any MS symptoms in the last four years.

Courtney Carver is the writer and founder of Be More with Less. The 43 year old wife and mother launched her blog in May 2010 to share a message of hope in simplicity. She left a 15 year career in sales and marketing in September 2011 to focus on writing, develop new ways to teach others to live more simply, and live a simpler life herself. In addition to bemorewithless.com she created bemorewithless.com/business to encourage business owners and entrepreneurs to focus on the essential instead of getting lost in busy work.

A global phenomenon, the #bulletjournal has +2.5 million Instagram mentions. On Atomic Moms podcast, we're talking with #buju mastermind RYDER CARROLL about how we can use a blank notebook and a pen to get organized, increase productivity, and live intentionally. This digital product designer created the bullet journal as a way to cope with his ADHD and the method has since taken the millennial world by storm. Self-proclaimed productivity nerd and minimalist, stay-at-home mom Becca McHugh co-captains this episode with me, and we get a little teary-eyed sharing an example of how one mother's bullet journaling literally saved her preschooler's life. Check out THE BULLET JOURNAL METHOD: Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future (Portfolio; 10/23). xx Ellie Knaus
