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.

On dealing with relationship clutter - SHP020
http://www.slowyourhome.com/20
As usual, the first show of the month is a hostful episode!
I’m always excited to share these conversations, but one of the questions we try to answer today had me talking in circles. And while I did my best trying to articulate my thoughts on what is a really complex topic, I'm not sure I did a good job.
Let me know what you think after you listen to us try to answer these listener questions:
- How do I deal with friend or relationship clutter?
- Is there room in the life of a working parent to pursue slow living? Or is it solely the domain of the single-income family?
Before we dive into answering these sticky questions though, Ben and I sit and chat a little about life now that I’ve stopped blogging.
Things feel lighter and infinitely more positive now that I’ve lessened the amount of online work I’m doing. I genuinely hadn’t realised how much my mental and physical health had been suffering until I slowed down and stepped back.
All in all, life is good and living a little slower has made it even better.
Enjoy the show!
