  • The Stuff of Enough - Clearing the Way for Contentment
    Jan 14 2026

    What if enough isn’t something we chase… but something we choose?

    In this episode of The Funny Kind, Erica is joined by Melinda Stuart, a Certified Senior Move Manager and owner of Smart Move who specializes in assisting clients and their families with downsizing, relocating, and re-settling.

    Together, they talk about simplifying, decluttering, and learning to be content with what we already have, instead of constantly reaching for more.

    We explore why stuff holds so much emotional weight, how letting go can feel both freeing and uncomfortable, and how creating space in our homes often creates space in our hearts, too. This isn’t about perfection or minimalism for minimalism’s sake—it’s about intentional living, gentler choices, and discovering the peace that comes from realizing you already have enough.

    With a little humor, a lot of honesty, and practical insight you can actually use, this conversation invites you to rethink your relationship with “stuff” and reconnect with what truly matters.

    ✨ Less clutter. More clarity. And maybe a new definition of enough.

    The Funny Kind with Erica Gumieny is where humor meets inspiration!

    In each episode, Erica shares insightful and light-hearted conversations that explore life's ups and downs and the importance of spirituality and laughter on the journey.

    Whether it’s a solo reflection or a conversation with a special guest, you’ll walk away feeling motivated and uplifted.

    Need some inspiration to make the world a little better today? Well, you've found it. Join me as I chat with Jonathan Misirian, Lead Pastor at Southbrook Church in Franklin, Wisconsin as we discuss ways to put faith into action and be a subversive light and serve others.

    Visit https://southbrook.church/To learn more about Southbrook or listen to the latest sermon series called Light in the Darkness.

    Here is some information on Eugene Peterson who had such an impact on the subversive servanthood model Jonathan referred to.

    Here is information on the book, Highly Sensitive People which can help us understand our reaction to things.
