From lifestyle trailblazer and author of The Afrominimalist’s Guide To Living with Less, a practical guide to move beyond decluttering your space and, instead, declutter your life.

Less Is Liberation welcomes those who are tired and weary to embark upon a journey of self-discovery. This is an invitation to understand the interconnectedness of overwhelm and our overall well-being.
     The constant pursuit of success silently wreaked havoc on Christine Platt’s happiness and health. While taking a personal pause, Christine discovered how her limiting beliefs about selfishness led to self-abandonment and a life of overwhelm. So, she decided to use the same intentional living strategy that helped her reduce overconsumption: choose less.
     With the perfect balance of wit and wisdom, Christine shares the necessities to come into alignment with Self and offers a roadmap for anyone ready to do the same. Less Is Liberation is more than a self-help guide; it is a call-to-action to tap into our most underutilized superpower: being intentional with our choices.

  • We do not have to have so many things—we can choose less.
  • We do not have to have so many obligations—we can choose less.
  • We do not have to have so many priorities—we can choose less.
  • We do not have to have so many relationships that feel transactional—we can choose less.

     We must simply learn how to be intentional about honoring ourselves.

     Less Is Liberation is an invitation to pause and begin the beautiful work of choosing ourselves over the profit and pleasure of others. It invites us to let go of behaviors that hinder our growth. It is time to embrace less as a gateway to find freedom from our lives of overwhelm and a pathway to the life we want  and deserve. Because we are not here for a life of doing. We are here for a life of being.
