Elizabeth Farner is a middle school counselor and mother of three school-age kids who is living the suburban dream. After years of feeling overwhelmed, behind, and having nothing to wear in her too-full closet, she cleared out the junk and adopted a minimalist and zero-waste lifestyle that looks, to the untrained eye, surprisingly normal. The change of mindset has resulted in a sense of peace and freedom which has far surpassed what she anticipated.
