Welcome to The Mindful Edit!

Hi, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I created The Mindful Edit as a space to share practical inspiration for living more consciously — for ourselves, our communities, and the planet. Whether you’re just starting to explore sustainability or you’ve been on this path for a while, this blog is here to meet you where you are and encourage progress over perfection.

A little about me: I spent the last several years as a small business owner in the hospitality space, creating experiences that brought people together over great wine and meaningful connection. Between my time living CA & through that journey of business ownership, I became increasingly passionate about sustainability — not just in business operations, but in everyday choices that add up to a more intentional way of living. After selling my businesses, I felt called to channel that energy into something new — and The Mindful Edit was born.

These days, I split time between coastal California and summers in my home state, Minnesota. I share and experience this beautiful life with my amazing husband, Drew, and our three fur babies: Avocado, Buster, and Maui. They’re constant reminders of the joy that comes from slowing down, living simply, and staying connected to what matters most.

Here, you’ll find curated tips for living more sustainably, thoughtful product swaps, and behind-the-scenes looks at what I’m learning (and unlearning) along the way. I’ll also be sharing interviews, recommendations, and ideas for reducing your footprint in a fun and approachable way.

My goal isn’t to be perfect — it’s to be curious, honest, and engaged. And I hope this becomes a place where you feel empowered to do the same.

So whether you’re here for a simple swap, a deeper dive, or a spark of inspiration, welcome to the community. I’m so excited to be on this journey with you.

With gratitude,

Ali
