Send us Fan MailThere's a moment every late spring where you can feel it — that internal pace starting to pick up with the heat, the to-do list for the garden suddenly feeling urgent, the rollercoaster of summer starting to pull you toward it before you're quite ready. This week's episode is for that moment.In this solo episode, I'm sharing what I've been working with personally as we move through this beautiful, liminal edge between Kapha and Pitta season — and the teachings from yogic philosophy and Ayurveda that have been grounding me.We explore:Sthira — the Sanskrit word for steadiness and rootedness, and how Patanjali's sutra sthira sukham asanam (the seat should be steady and at ease) is an invitation not just for the meditation cushion but for how we move through lifeThe gifts of Kapha dosha — why that stable, slow, grounded energy deserves to be carried forward into summer rather than shed in our rush to lighten upSandhya — the sacred in-between, the twilight of the seasons, and why this transitional moment holds so much more magic and potency than we usually allow ourselves to receiveBorrowing from Kapha — practical ways to fill your well now, before the full heat and activity of Pitta season arrivesDinacharya — how your daily rhythm is naturally shifting right now, and how to let that happen gradually and with intentionThe idea of not releasing things into the world until they're overripe — and how that applies to creative projects, seasons of life, and so much moreThis episode is an invitation to linger a little longer in the in-between. To savor the lushness of what's here before the harvest comes. To trust that things will fruit in their own timing — and that your steadiness is the foundation you'll stand on when summer's rollercoaster arrives.Resources:Free Masterclass:  The Alchemy of the Perimenopause PortalAyurvedic Dosha Quick Reference GuideAbhyanga Self Massage GuideWeekend Nervous System ResetNourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Dans cet épisode, j'explore avec vous la différence entre soft life et hard life, ce que la psychologie nous apprend sur l'équilibre entre confort et effort, et comment trouver une manière de vivre plus pérenne dans un monde qui nous pousse sans cesse à en faire plus.Je vous partage mon propre parcours de la "hustle life" jusqu'au burnout, puis l'intégration progressive de la douceur dans mon quotidien et mon business ainsi que 12 pistes concrètes pour créer plus d'espace, de repos, de présence et d'intention dans vos journées, sans tomber dans le “tout-ou-rien” ni perdre de vue vos projets. Je l'ai fait, vous pouvez le faire aussi !

In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode, Candace Dunaway dives into the powerful concept of becoming “bespoke.” Inspired by rediscovering the meaning of the word, she reflects on how often people shape themselves to fit expectations, trends, or the comfort of blending in—living lives that are more “off the rack” than soul-aligned. Candace gently challenges this pattern, reminding listeners that they were never meant to be mass-produced. Through personal insight and soulful reflection, she explores what it looks like to intentionally craft a life that is uniquely your own—one that honors your individuality, your pace, and your truth. This episode is an invitation to slow down and engage in the meaningful, sometimes uncomfortable work of becoming who you were always meant to be. Because just like something truly bespoke, your life is meant to be thoughtfully created, deeply personal, and entirely one of a kind.

From redefining what “enough” looks like to stepping away from quiet competition and burnout culture, this episode offers encouragement and actionable mindset shifts for anyone craving a simpler, more intentional life. If you're ready to create more balance, peace, and purpose, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.Want to know more about living a slowed down life?!Simple Shortcuts to Peace Course - https://stephanieodea.com/peaceNew Year, New You Mini Challenge - https://stephanieodea.com/newyouJoin me for my LIVE Masterclass - https://stephanieodea.com/masterclass/Website - https://stephanieodea.comBlog - https://stephanieodea.com/blog/Slow Living Podcast - https://stephanieodea.com/podcastSpeaking Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/speaking/Coaching Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/coaching/Courses - https://stephanieodea.com/courses/Contact - stephanieodea.com/contact/

Il existe une fatigue invisible que le sommeil ne suffit pas à guérir. C'est celle où le corps continue de fonctionner, d'assumer et de cocher toutes les cases, mais où l'étincelle intérieure s'est éteinte. De l'extérieur, tout semble sous contrôle ; à l'intérieur, tout est lourd. Ce n'est pas forcément un burn-out, mais un signal subtil : vous faites ce qu'il faut, mais plus ce qui vous nourrit.Cette fatigue-là ne réclame pas seulement du repos, elle réclame du sens. Inspirée par la philosophie Ikigai, elle nous rappelle que l'énergie ne vient pas des vacances, mais de l'alignement entre nos actions et notre identité. Quand ce lien se distend, on devient efficace mais vide. Ce n'est pas une faiblesse, c'est un indicateur précieux qui vous invite à réévaluer vos priorités.Pour retrouver votre souffle, ne cherchez pas à tout changer. Demandez-vous simplement : « Qu'est-ce qui, aujourd'hui, me redonne un peu de vie ? » Un moment de création, une marche en silence ou une conversation authentique… L'élan revient dès que l'on réintroduit un espace qui nous ressemble. Ne vous forcez pas à avancer plus vite, apprenez à avancer plus juste.

I recorded this in a moment where nothing big was happening.Clouds moving. Rain on the window. Wind through the trees. The dogs snoring. And me, just sitting there, actually in it.We say we want peace, we say we want to feel better but we're often anywhere but here. In our heads, in the next thing, in our phones, in the past, in the future.And then we wonder why we feel disconnected, or lonely, or unfulfilled, or empty, or feel list.This episode is that reminder.

Est-ce que vous vous reconnaissez dans ces phrases ? "Si ce n'est pas parfait, ça ne vaut rien." "Un imprévu, la journée est foutue." "Si je ne peux pas tout faire, autant ne rien faire."C'est la pensée tout-ou-rien et dans cet épisode, on démonte ce mécanisme qui nous freine bien plus qu'on ne le croit.On explore ensemble d'où vient ce biais, pourquoi on y tombe aussi souvent, et surtout comment apprendre à vivre et à s'épanouir dans les zones de gris.

This is your Friday affirmation. Let's pause for a breath you didn't know you were holding. Exhale.This week's Soft Landings affirmation is for the woman who's been spring-cleaning everything except her exhaustion.Today's affirmation: "My body knows what's good for me."Every Spring, you're told to declutter your wardrobe, your habits, your goals, your mindset, and if you don't feel the urge, something's wrong with you. But what if the constant push to optimise is exactly what's keeping you from the rest your body is actually asking for?This week: less doing. More listening.Save. Share. Come back when you need the reminder.

"The fossil fuel age gave us speed. This, on the one hand, allows us to think, 'I'm going faster', but it never defines 'faster to where, and to what?' You become a victim of speed -- always trying to catch up with yourself. The climate crisis is a result of chasing speed mindlessly, endlessly. Slow living is mindful; it's caring of the earth and of community. Healing our relationship with the Earth is the most urgent matter of our times. We need to learn from the Earth how to be an intelligent species." - Vandana Shiva, environmental activist and food sovereignty advocate, talks to Manjula Narayan about her latest book, Slow Living; What You Can Do About Climate Change  Learn more about your ad choices.

Join me as I share how slow living has reshaped life, my perspective and softened the way I interact with myself and the outside world.

In this episode of the Special Culinary Series, I'm joined by Chef Neha Mishra - the visionary behind Kinoya in Dubai and the woman many first knew as the “Ramen Girl” hosting intimate supper clubs before building one of the city's most celebrated restaurants. On this episode, Neha takes us across continents through flavor, philosophy and deeply personal food memories - from Tokyo's ramen counters to the Himalayas at 16,000 feet. Destination Highlights & Culinary Insights: 1. Japan - The art of perfection.   Japan, for Neha, represents devotion - to craft, to ingredients and to doing one thing exceptionally well. • Ramen culture and why simplicity equals mastery. • How to explore Japan on a budget - eating where locals eat. • Traditional Japanese breakfasts and bento spreads. • Public transport in Japan makes exploration seamless. • “Memory Lane” (Omoide Yokocho-style alleyways) for affordable eats.           https://en.shinjuku-omoide.com/ 2. India – Where food is a ‘love language'. Neha talks about the diversity of India and how every region there is its own eco system with distinct culinary identities. A trip to India is a reminder that food isn't about complexity, it's about connection. • The architecture and soul of South Bombay(South Mumbai). • South Indian cuisine as one of the most underrated global food cultures. • A transformative trip to Spiti Valley near Ladakh and mindful meals at 16,000 feet in the Himalayas. • Single-ingredient cooking. 3. Italy – Slow living and Sacred tables. • Produce-driven cooking: olives, olive oil, tomatoes. • Landscape and longevity and how environment shapes cuisine. 4. Georgia – Unexpected beauty. Beyond the food, it is the landscape and culture that linger. This is a destination where hospitality and history intertwine and is definitely a place that deserves far more global attention than it receives. 5. Vietnam, Thailand and Southeast Asia - The street food masters. Southeast Asia is where street food becomes storytelling. 6. Brazil – Best street food. • Sunday markets and neighborhood food culture. • Street discoveries that rival fine dining. 7. Mexico – Culinary immersion.

In this episode, we sit down with Sue Becker, founder of Bread Beckers, for a conversation that goes far beyond bread.Sue has spent decades helping families rediscover the power of freshly milled whole grains, challenging the narrative that bread is the problem and inviting us to reconsider what's actually happened to our food system. Together, we explore how modern processing stripped nutrients from one of the most foundational foods in human history—and how returning to real bread can transform not just physical health, but our relationship with the kitchen, our homes, and even our faith.We talk about:How conventional flour is devoid of nutrients and the health ramifications that ensued after those vital nutrients were removedThe difference between processed flour and freshly milled whole grainWhy many people tolerate real bread beautifully - even those with gluten sensitivitiesWhy real bread has absolutely changed Jaclyn's life and the lives of so many othersThe biblical and historical significance of breadWhy reclaiming traditional food practices is both nourishing and quietly radicalThis episode is about more than nutrition. It's about legacy. It's about slowing down. It's about remembering what our bodies were designed for.If you've ever felt confused about bread, curious about milling your own grain, or hungry for a more intentional way of living, this conversation will both educate and inspire you.GET IN TOUCH WITH SUE:Charity Site: https://www.realbreadoutreach.comFacebook: Sue BeckerInstagram: suebreadbeckersYoutube: Bread BeckersApple Podcast: Sue's Healthy Minutes with Sue BeckerSupport the showDOWNLOAD THE FREQ APP:www.thefreqapp.com VISIT THE SHOP:www.thebeckonsouk.com CONNECT ON SOCIAL:Instagram: @beckonliving, @jaclynsteele, @samthurmond_reiTikTok: @beckonliving JOIN THE HIGH FREQUENCY SOCIETY:Text us at 480-531-6858 and type the word FREQUENCY to receive periodic uplifting, high frequency text messages from Sam and Jaclyn.

Those images can feel paralyzing when you're trying to build something real with limited time, money, or energy. The idea of total self-sufficiency often operates more like a story than a livable path, and holding it as the end goal can stop momentum before it starts.Today I'm joined by Kymber Rae, a first-generation homesteader-to-be, living on the edge of farmland and Boreal Forest in Saskatchewan, Canada. She's renovating a mobile home on a budget, gradually working the land, and raising a new family while learning as she goes.This conversation centers on a grounded approach to simple living that values progress over fantasy and participation over perfection. There's an honest look at starting a homestead incrementally, navigating relationships and parenthood, and building practical autonomy rooted in community, land, and time rather than aesthetic ideals.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[06:39] Kymber's calling to land and practical strategies for acquiring property[13:36] Food sovereignty through community interdependence[22:48] What's to be said about eating food from the land you're standing on[25:43] Time management for gardening and learning through trial and error[33:29] Food preservation methods, including canning, fermenting, and dehydrating[36:43] Creative water solutions without well access or plumbing[42:12] How badly you want it determines what barriers you'll overcome[46:19] Motherhood's impact on homesteading, homeschooling priorities, and choosing growth over comfort[55:08] Digital community as psyop, lost social skills, and healing polarized relationshipsResources Mentioned:Freedom Fighters with Curtis Stone | YouTubeVeda Austin | WebsiteDr. Masaru Emoto | WebsiteFind more from Kymber:Kymber's Cottage | YouTubeKymber's Cottage | InstagramKymber's Cottage | FacebookFind more from Alec:Alec Zeck | InstagramAlec Zeck | XThe Way Forward | InstagramThe Way Forward is Sponsored By:RMDY Academy & Collective: Homeopathy Made AccessibleHigh-quality remedies and training to support natural healing.Enroll hereExplore hereNew Biology Clinic: Redefine Health from the Ground UpExperience tailored terrain-based health services with consults, livestreams, movement classes, and more.

In this episode, Stephanie—mom to three Gen Z kids—explores the rising soft living movement and why it's resonating so deeply right now. With burnout and overstimulation at an all-time high, soft living invites us to choose ease, gentleness, and rest as a meaningful way of life.Stephanie also breaks down the difference between soft living and slow living. While soft living soothes, slow living stabilizes through intentional and proactive life design. Recorded at the start of the new year, this episode is a gentle reminder that you don't need to overhaul your life—just make small, sustainable shifts toward a life you truly love.Link to Article: Soft Living and Slow Living: What is the Difference?Want to know more about living a slowed down life?!Simple Shortcuts to Peace Course - https://stephanieodea.com/peaceNew Year, New You Mini Challenge - https://stephanieodea.com/newyouJoin me for my LIVE Masterclass - https://stephanieodea.com/masterclass/Website - https://stephanieodea.comBlog - https://stephanieodea.com/blog/Slow Living Podcast - https://stephanieodea.com/podcastSpeaking Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/speaking/Coaching Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/coaching/Courses - https://stephanieodea.com/courses/Contact - stephanieodea.com/contact/

“Slow living” is often presented as the cure for stress and overwhelm, especially for moms. But what if slowing down isn't the answer at all? Free Smile & Start Attitude Challenge: https://simplyconvivial.com/smileThe speed of life isn't the point. Working in the place God has put us and living in His grace and kindness that makes the impossible doable without stress, fast or slow, is the point.In this episode, I explain why slow living is a false ideal and how chasing a peaceful aesthetic can actually increase anxiety and burnout. Peace doesn't come from fewer responsibilities, fewer people, or a quieter-looking life. It comes from aligning our expectations with God's calling and trusting His grace to equip us for the work He's given us.Read the article version here: https://www.simplyconvivial.com/blog/slow-living-is-a-false-ideal/Minimizing your life doesn't automatically remove stress, social media aesthetics distort our standards, and Scripture calls us to zeal in good works, not retreat from them. God may call you to seasons that feel full, demanding, and intense. You can be cheerful and content in busy seasons, too.The speed of your life isn't the point. Faithfulness is.Christian homemaking takes deliberate practice, not perfect systems. Every week on Simply Convivial, I share practical mindset shifts and small, steady habits that help you build a home anchored in truth and run with cheerful consistency. If you want less overwhelm, stronger routines, and a more faithful way to manage your day, you're in the right place. Grab a basket of laundry, press play, and let's grow in cheerful productivity together.

She also dives into what “healthy living” looks like today, from weekly gym visits to enjoying long walks and pool time in her new neighborhood.As the conversation unfolds, Melessa reflects on her legacy, the strength she hopes her children remember, and the accomplishments she's proud of—like earning her master's degree while raising four little ones. With life slowing down, she's savoring upcoming adventures, including a road trip with close friends and the joy of finding a new local Bunco group.

In today's episode, I'm joined by New York Times bestselling author and Slow Living advocate Stephanie O'Dea for a conversation that will make you rethink how you work, plan, parent, and build your business, especially if you've been craving a calmer pace but don't know where to start. Stephanie shares how a single New Year's resolution turned into 11 books, a massive online brand, and a completely different way of designing life, one rooted in intention, capacity, and tuning out the noise. We talk about redefining productivity, creating a three-year plan that actually feels doable, why journaling changes everything (even if you hate journaling), and how to build a business without burning out your brain, body, or joy. If you're heading into a new season wanting more peace, more purpose, and less rushing, this episode is your reminder that slow isn't stagnant, it's sustainable.

If you're the kind of girl whose mind never shuts off — always planning, overthinking, striving, and chasing the next thing — this episode is for you.In today's episode of For You From Eve, we're talking about slow living for fast-minded girls. Not the aesthetic version of slow living, but the real, grounded kind that helps you regulate your nervous system, find presence in your day, and stop feeling like you're constantly behind — even when you're doing everything “right.”We'll talk about why ambitious women struggle so much with rest, how hustle culture wired us to feel guilty for slowing down, and how you can soften your internal pace without giving up on your goals. Because slowing down doesn't mean you stop growing — it means you stop burning yourself out on the way there.This episode is your reminder that rest is not laziness, calm is not weakness, and slow living is a skill you can learn — even with a fast, driven mind.
