To strive is human, to saunter divine. Welcome to The Tortoise - a podcast that digs deep into the power of slow. Brooke McAlary (author of "Slow", "Care" and "Destination Simple") is joined by her husband Ben for a monthly deep dive into the realities of trying to live slow in a world that won't stop racing. On the third Thursday of every month, join Brooke and Ben for an unscripted, unedited, always candid and usually fun conversation about slow living and how embracing our inner tortoise can impact every part of life: relationships, work, family, community, tech, health, care, personal growth. If you’re burnt out, overwhelmed, frustrated at the sheer pace of life or just looking for a sign to slow down, this is the podcast (a plodcast!) for you.

What's the best part of slow living? SHP032
http://www.slowyourhome.com/32
This week it’s hostful time, where we do our best to answer your listener questions. This week Ben even sings. It’s a beautiful thing.
Fortunately though, this was our first time recording with a two-mic set up (we’re so professional) so Ben’s mic is a little quiet. We’ve done our best to shift the levels around and it should be fine but if things sound a little different, that’s why.
We spend this week’s episode answering a handful of great questions straight from you, including:
- How can I find support and guidance in my local area, particularly from those looking to live a similarly slow, simple life?
- Can you give us an insight into your daily life?
- Any tips for the upcoming holidays, especially the social engagements with friends and colleagues?
- What have you found to be the biggest advantage or the most rewarding aspect of slow living?
- Can you suggest some other podcasts in a similar vein to the Slow Home Podcast?
It’s a great group of questions and I think we've got some good answers for you, in amongst the singing and general silliness.
Enjoy!
