Episode Notes

What is slow living? So many of us want to change our lives because we want more space for things we love, as well as a job we love. But life often seems too hectic to find that space, sense of peace or a feeling that we’re really able to enjoy what we have worked so hard to achieve.

When Brooke McAlary realised the stress of her life was causing her anxiety she decided to slow her life right down.

It started with a failed attempt to declutter the garage... but today she’s host of the Slow Home podcast, author of 3 lovely books about slowing down your life and living a dramatically different life to the one she thought she would be living at this point in her life.

What I love about this interview is how down to earth Brooke is about what slow living actually is and how you can design a slower life that’s unique to what works for you.

Do check out her website and follow her on Instagram. Also check out Zen Habits.

And maybe try writing your own eulogy and see if it helps you get clarity about your life as much as it helped Brooke.
