Welcome to Spring Cleaning!

Spring Cleaning is a newsletter for people that want to live intentional and joyful lives, written by Amanda Oñate-Trules in Brooklyn, New York.

What I love most in life is sharing and connecting with others. I started Spring Cleaning to foster deep conversations about things that so many of us are navigating in our 20s, 30s, and beyond: from cultivating adult friendships, to making time for hobbies, and sparking meaningful conversations. Each week(ish), I send personal essays where I share about recent experiences, learnings, and reflections. I’m also obsessed with sharing recommendations of all kinds (media, food, travel, etc.) and in almost every issue of Spring Cleaning you can expect a short list of my favorite books, podcasts, and shows.

I hope that this newsletter will help you reflect, feel, get inspired, and create little shifts in your own life! I’m so glad you’re here. 🌸

About Me

I’m a Bay Area-born and raised, Chilean-American who has called the East Coast home for 14 years. I’m a Leo sun/Capricorn moon/Sagittarius rising, an older sister, a reader, an avid journaler, and a lover of deep life chats. I live in Brooklyn and spend my time exploring new neighborhoods, walking, searching for the perfect cortado, crafting, and taking trips upstate to hike/eat/vintage shop.
