Rhythms: A Slow Living Deep-Dive

Welcome back to another season of the Slow Home podcast!

Season 5 of the poggie has a new format, with each episode comprising of two parts. In the first part Ben and Brooke will be diving deep into an area of slow living that listeners want to know more about (think topics like self-care, waste reduction, tech and their relationship to stuff). The second part of the episode will be a dedicated follow-up with guests from Season 4 to see how they have been tracking and whether they have implemented any changes.

Today's episode kicks off with a conversation on rhythms (as opposed to routines) where Brooke and Ben discuss:

What exactly are rhythms?
How rhythms are applied to different parts of their life
What rhythms have looked like for them since settling into their new town
What they have discovered about rhythms and how they best work for them
If there is room for flexibility and fluidity within rhythms
How to set up and maintain rhythms

Brooke then catches up with Season 4 guest, Kate, who you might remember was struggling with the question of whether slow living might actually be robbing her of ambition.

Kate shares how she has embraced the 'messy middle' and has started to get comfortable with the unknown since she and Brooke last spoke. She also talks about how saying no to things has given her energy, and shares a few examples of opportunities she would have previously said yes to, and the power she felt by saying no instead.

There's so much inspiration and practical slow living in action in this episode and we hope you enjoy it!
