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.

Rhythm, Baby - SHP Episode 5
http://slowyourhome.com/5 - When it comes to routine versus rhythm, it’s rhythm all the way for me.
In today’s show (another solo outing to round out our big launch week) I talk about the difference between rhythm and routine, and why I think it’s important to apply the friendlier notion of rhythm to our days.
Shifting into a rhythmic approach has been one of the best changes I’ve made to my life over the past few years and I feel like I actually get more done (most days) than if I was to apply a regimented routine to my days.
Later in the episode I also take a look at what my morning rhythm looks like at the moment, why I wake up at 4am and what I manage to get done before other members of my family wake up.
I hope you’ve enjoyed the first week of the show as much as I have loved bringing it to you! After today’s episode I will be releasing a new podcast every Thursday morning (Australian time) so be sure to subscribe to the show and don’t miss out.
