Welcome

I’m Kim VanDolah—Christian wife, mother of six,

author of Return to Simple, and Detachment Coach.
My mission is to inspire and guide the true-hearted as they clear away the noise

and return to the ancient paths— where mind, body, and spirit find sacred space

to renew, reconnect, and discover true rest.

I walk with those who are ready to clear away the noise

and return to what is real, true, and life-giving.

Together, we awaken the wisdom within,

restore connection with God,

and remember how to live simple, whole, and free.

The Seven Ancient Paths

The Simple Ancestral Lifestyle I live and share is rooted in what I call

The 7 Ancient Paths—timeless rhythms that restore balance, connection, and rest in Christ.

True-Hearted Spirit – Walk in truth and light
Become a seeker, liver, and sharer of God’s truth.

Fasting – Say no to say yes
Detach from what no longer serves, embracing the freedom of letting go.

Nourishment – Fuel the body, feed the soul
Honor God’s provision of simple, animal-based, life-giving foods.

Simplicity – Less is more
Embrace less to make space for what matters most.

Nature – Enter with Him
Move, breathe, and delight in God’s creation as part of it, not apart from it.

Play – Rediscover childlike joy
Rediscover creativity, laughter, and delight as acts of worship.

Presence – Be still and know
Root yourself in silence, prayer, and rest in the very moment given.

Together, these paths open the way to deeper connection—
with self (intuition),
with others (relationships),
and with God (friendship and the Spirit’s movement).

Fasting frees, Nourishment sustains, Presence anchors, Nature revives,

Simplicity clears, Play restores, and a True Heart transforms.

A Return to Rest

Ultimately, a Return to Simple is a return to God—
a step into the fullness of who He created you to be.

Through simple yet powerful shifts, I’ve experienced renewal of mind, body, and spirit… and it is my joy to walk with you as you experience the same.

My Journey to Simple

For years, I tried to fit into boxes that never quite felt like home.

But through prayer, surrender, and walking the ancient paths leading me to a deeper connection to myself, others, and the Lord,

He revealed my mission...
to help others let go—of confusion, clutter, and noise—

and return to His design for mind, body, and spirit.

My own renewal began as I embraced

Simple Food, a Simple Life, and living in a Simple Presence

and through these, I found the deeper rhythm of detachment:

a peace that comes when we release what was never meant to define us.

A Note to You

My friend, I believe your body is wise. Your soul is sacred.

And your longing for simplicity is not a weakness—it’s a signpost.

Let’s return together to what’s true.
