Hands-free living with Rachel Macy Stafford

Hands-free living with Rachel Macy Stafford

http://www.slowyourhome.com/36

When people used to ask Rachel Macy Stafford just how she managed to fit so much into her life, she took it as a compliment. But as her world began crashing down around her, she realised just how much ‘having it all’ was actually costing her.

In today’s episode I ask Rachel about the moment she realised things needed to change and how giving just 10 minutes of undistracted time to her family was enough to turn things around.

We also talk about people pleasing and the modern day myth that busyness equals success.

This show is full of big moments of realness - just like Rachel’s writing - and there’s a lot in this conversation that I’ve been revisiting over the past couple of weeks.

Enjoy!
