Podcasts about Slow living

In this second half of last week's discussion, Kelly and Lauren open up about the messy, real side of living a minimalist lifestyle. You will continue to be reminded that living a Minimalist lifestyle is about surrounding yourself with what you need and love and letting go of the rest. And since excess will always come and go, this lifestyle requires regular check-ins and mistakes are part of the process. Kelly and Lauren answer the following questions:  What area(s) of your life still feels cluttered? Or, what area of your life feels challenging to maintain at times? What's something you keep more quantities of that you admittedly don't need or love and need to work on letting go of? Can you share a story of how you overpacked on a trip or failed your minimalist ways while travelling? What's one area of clutter are you still working on such as physical clutter, a habit, mindset etc.? What advice would you give to someone who is new to minimalism and is struggling with doing it perfectly?

In this week's episode I'm joined by feminine business coach and founder of the Earth Flow Method, Jennifer Whitaker, for a grounded, soul-shifting conversation about coming home to your feminine energy.  We explore why so many women stay stuck in their masculine - pushing, hustle, productivity, responsibility - and what becomes possible when we slow down, sync with nature, and allow the wild abundance that's been waiting for us.  Jennifer shares how the rhythms of the Earth are more than metaphors, they're a direct line to your magnetism, your wisdom, and your wealth. She breaks down what seasonal living looks like, how to get out of hustle mode, and offers daily practices that reconnect you to your feminine flow.  If you've ever felt burned out, overextended, or disconnected from yourself - this conversation will feel like a breath of forest air.  Connect with Jennifer:  https://jenwhitaker.kartra.com/page/SacredRituals Join The Phoenix

We live in a world that glorifies hustle, speed, and constant productivity. But what if the real power lies in slowing down?In this episode, I'm diving into the radical act of soft living. Not just pretty flowers, sleeping in and spa days. I'm talking how to regain a sense of LIFE back. Why being slow isn't lazy, why softness isn't weakness, and how choosing rest, presence, and gentleness is one of the most rebellious things you can do today.If you've ever felt guilty for needing more time, more space, or more softness… this one's for you. Because slow living isn't an aesthetic, it's a lifeline.

When I first discovered Ros Byam Shaw's writing, I felt like I'd found someone who truly saw homes the way I did — not as stage sets or style statements, but as deeply personal spaces layered with time, memory, and quiet beauty. In this episode, I get to speak with Ros Byam Shaw about her work as a writer and her newest book, “ Perfect English, Small and Beautiful”, her longtime collaboration with photographer Jan Baldwin, and what she's learned from years of stepping inside some of the most thoughtful homes in Britain.We talk about the charm of unshowy interiors, why rooms don't need to shout to be compelling, and how trends often miss the point. Ros shares stories from her time at World of Interiors, what makes a home feel lived-in and loved, and why it's perfectly fine — even wonderful — not to have a “celebrity home.”This conversation felt like a deep exhale. I hope it reminds you, as it reminded me, that personal style isn't about impressing anyone — it's about making a space that feels like you. Want to finally define your style?

Join me as I share 5 slow living habits I'm dedicating myself to in 2025 (as well as some clips from my recent trip to Japan!).

The societies we live in these days, and especially in cities. We sometimes feel exhausted, anxious, depressed, and lonely in this ultra-productive life. What's more, the constant fast pace can lead to memory and concentration problems. If you're struggling to keep up, the slow living philosophy could be for you.  Slow Living is to do less in order to enjoy more. Instead of wanting to have multiple experiences that we only half-enjoy, slow living encourages us to simplify our lives and savour the present moment. It's related to concepts of mindfulness and being fully present. Slow living can be interpreted in different ways, but the common thread is the idea of intentionality in what we do. When did the slow movement start ? Isn't it impossible to live a slow life in a city? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

My guest today is my former teammate Vizi Andrei, founder of The Sovereign Artist program and author of Sovereign Artist: Meditations on Lifestyle Design. Vizi's journey has been anything but conventional. After dabbling in various creative projects, he realized that the internet offers a unique opportunity: the freedom to take countless small risks without catastrophic consequences. He built The Sovereign Artist program to help creators step away from the toxic hustle culture and build sustainable, meaningful lives rooted in creativity, deep work, and sacred leisure. His insights into Slow Living, the Sicilian Dream, and embracing experimentation over optimization can help one break free from comparison traps. He joins me to discuss the dangers of chasing unrealistic benchmarks of success, the myths of modern productivity, how to unlock creative freedom, and MUCH more!

My guest today for our “Think Like A Designer” series is Gabriela Eisenhart, founder of Silo Studio Design. We cover a lot of bases in this conversation: finding inspiration for a “wow” moment in a kitchen; how to use color in a mostly neutral living room; mixing heavy and light layers to create a serene bedroom; what to do with that empty area you may have on the 2nd floor landing space; and the biggest bang for your buck when you're trying to outfit a home or room that has no obvious architectural style.  In other words, maybe it's a builder-grade shell and you want to personalize it and give it some character!   Want to finally define your style?

We explore the power of color, the role of texture, and how composition can transform a space—whether it's a grand entryway or a cozy nook. Barrett shares insights from her work on both historic and modern homes, explaining how she uses color drenching to create immersive atmospheres, entryways to set the tone, and a mix of materials to bring warmth and depth to a room.We also discuss the importance of designing with intention, making bold yet thoughtful choices, and mastering the mix of old and new to create a home that truly reflects your personality. Plus, Barrett gives us a peek into her own home and the personal design choices she's made.

In this episode, I interview Nasozi Kakembo, author of 'African Decor Edit,' who shares her experiences traveling across Africa meeting artisans, and creating home accessories. Nasozi's book underscores the importance of understanding the cultural context behind African decor, highlighting 16 significant objects and how they are artfully incorporated into homes around the world. She emphasizes the historical and regional significance of these pieces, often misrepresented by colonial borders. Nasozi shares fascinating stories, including her challenging experience making Batik in Ghana and her insights on the cultural symbolism of the Juju hat from Cameroon. We also discuss ethical shopping practices and the creative adaptations of African design elements in various global homes, including her own. The conversation touches on the balance between appreciating and respecting cultural artifacts and the unfortunate rise of mass-produced imitations. Through her work, Nasozi advocates for supporting authentic African artisans and preserving the integrity and beauty of their craft. Want to finally define your style?

// Sebastian Schoepp lebt ein aufregendes Leben – als Journalist ist er spezialisiert auf spanischsprachige Länder, reist immer wieder nach Lateinamerika, trifft Menschen mit bewegenden Geschichten. Auf einer Zugfahrt zur Frankfurter Buchmesse fällt ihm dann eines Tages auf: Er kennt seine Heimat nicht annähernd so gut wie die weite Welt. Also fragt er einen Freund, ob er mit ihm von Darmstadt nach Heidelberg wandert. Diese Wanderung ist der schleichende Beginn einer nachhaltigen Veränderung ... In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Sebastian über die Magie der deutschen Mittelgebirge, den Unterschied zwischen Wandern und Schlendern, und über die Kunst, auch Alltagswege zum Abenteuer zu machen. Du erfährst, warum sich das Weserbergland für Sebastian wie die Toskana anfühlt, und wieviel Slowenien er am Albsteig findet. Und natürlich verrät Sebastian auch, warum er sein altes Leben irgendwann aufgegeben und die Anden komplett gegen Odenwald und Co eingetauscht hat ... // Alle Werbepartner des FREI RAUS Podcast und aktuelle Rabatte für Hörer:innen findest du auch unter https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus-partner // Hier kannst du den wöchentlichen Newsletter zum Podcast abonnieren: https://www.christofoerster.com/freiraus // Outro-Song: Dull Hues by Lull (audiio.com)

BUY THE SLOW LIVING BOOK HERE! Today, we're talking about something so many of us wrestle with—separating who we are from what we do. It can be easy to think that your worth is tied to your job title or how hard you're working, but really your identity is not your job. You are worthy of all the wonderful things life has to offer, simply because of who you are—not what you achieve.Separating work from identity can be freeing. Inspired by my book Slow Living, I explore how to detach from the pressures of defining ourselves by our careers. JL Collins talks about The FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, in his book The Simple Path to Wealth by JL Collins. It reinforces this idea—retirement isn't an age, but a financial equation that can create more freedom in your life. Workplaces can feel like a second home but it's important to remember that work and colleagues are separate from your actual life . True belonging comes from the family and close friends who truly know, love, and support you. At the end of the day, your life happens outside of work, with the people who matter most.Want to go back and listen to more episodes like this one?

Slow Living Doesn't Mean Nothing Gets Done Are you feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending hustle? Do you crave a slower, more intentional way of living? Then you cannot miss this episode of A New Direction! I'm sitting down with best-selling author Stephanie O'Dea to talk about her latest book, Slow Living: Cultivating a Life of Purpose in a Hustle-Driven World. Stephanie has mastered the art of slowing down without falling behind, and she's sharing exactly how we can do the same. We'll dive into the myths of productivity, how goals do not help you find your purpose, the power of mindful choices, and her 5 practical steps to create a life that truly aligns with what matters most. If you've ever felt like you're racing through life without actually living it, this conversation is for you. Don't think that Slow Living means not getting things done.  Slow living simply means finding ways to remove the clutter, focus on the right things, eliminate the minutia, and bring harmony back to your life. Stephanie O'Dea's book: Slow Living: Cultivating a Life of Purpose in a Hustle-Driven World is an outstanding and slightly unsettling read.  Why do I say "unsettling", because it runs counterintuitively how we are told to live. In a world where we are so focused on outcomes, Stephanie helps to focus on the journey, live a life of peaceful living in the chaos, and yet gives us practical actionable steps that helps us achieve our dreams. She doesn't simply give us a philosophy or theory of living, but has a process from our health, to our finances, to our relationships of how we can live life not overwhelmed but in control. She loves her acronyms!  And one of the best in Slow Living is PROM...Purge, Remove, Organize, Maintain.  It doesn't simply apply to the clutter of your home, but can be applied to our relationships, finances and more. I found Slow Living challenging.  But I also found it refreshing.  If you have an open mindset, this book will help you succeed.  And her formula for doing such looks like this: MINDSET + ACTION + CONSISTENCY = SUCCESS.  And to get there you need to be SLOW...Simply Only Look Within. Great book! Take the advice.  Do the steps. It's well worth the journey to living a life on purpose.  Purchase Slow Living by clicking here!

If you've ever hesitated to embrace a slower lifestyle because you're worried about being seen as lazy, you're not alone, it is for some reasons a really common misconception about what it means to live a slow and simple life. In a culture that celebrates overachievement and constant hustle, slow living can feel like rebellion. The idea of slowing down, of doing less to live more intentionally, is often misunderstood. But let's clear this up right now: slow living isn't lazy, it's purposeful, empowering, and the key to finding joy in the everyday.Join me for Show Notes & more:Join me on SubstackJoin me on Instagram To hear more, visit theslowlivingcollective.substack.com

In this episode, I had a delightful conversation with Danielle Balanus, a Birmingham-based designer known for her bold, layered, and mixed aesthetic. Danielle's designs exude joy, abundance, and energy, adhering to the principles of the Slow Style philosophy. She emphasizes developing an aesthetic rather than adhering to strict style categories, focusing on creating evocative experiences rather than matching products. Danielle draws inspiration from varied sources like fashion and film and stresses the importance of playing with design elements and taking time to let styles unfold. We discussed several projects where she broke conventional design rules, such as rejecting the 60-30-10 color rule and using unusual combinations and scales. Danielle shared specific stories behind her projects, such as draping a whole bathroom to create a luxurious feel and using unexpected elements like antique mirrors and layered patterns. She highlighted a family room framed with dramatic portières and a moody, persimmon-accented bedroom designed for a show house. In her personal creative space, she showcased a blend of textures, colors, and collected items that reflect her unique style. This conversation is full of advice for those hesitant to embrace bold designs, encouraging you to trust your instincts and explore. Want to finally define your style?

In this episode, I sit down with Barbara Boyle, author of 'Pinch Me: Waking Up in a 300 Year Old Italian Farmhouse.' Barbara shares her journey from a successful advertising career to renovating and living in an old Italian farmhouse. Her initial inspiration came during a honeymoon trip to Europe where she fell in love with a small Italian town. She speaks about the sense of community and belonging she found, the bravery it took to leave her life in San Francisco, and the challenges, including concerns about family and her unexpected battle with breast cancer. Barbara also paints a vivid picture of her home's transformation, blending modern and traditional elements, and discusses the meaningful items she brought from her old home. Her story is one of transformation, adventure, and finding joy in the slow, intentional living that Italy offers.

"Slow living is a conversation inherently steeped in privilege. “So many systems are stacked against members of our society who are, in theory, desperate to slow down, but the structure of capitalism is built around burnout and scarcity,” explains DeVos. With this in mind, let's consider some strategies for practicing slow living in your life:Take it back to the origins of the movement and focus on food. Schedule breaks.Live mindfully. Set boundaries.Do what you can, where you can."
