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.

episode 1: Season 4 Sneak Peek
Season 4 is nearly here, and this week Brooke and Ben thought they'd drop a sneaky little preview of what's to come.
They talk about the totally new format for Season 4 episodes, why they decided to make a change and what you can expect from them this season (lots of super relatable conversations and practical takeaways).
Ben and Brooke also discuss what life's been like over the past couple of months as they settle in to their new home in the Southern Highlands, what they're struggling with and what the rest of the year holds. Ben peppers Brooke with some very random questions about negative reviews and the sustainability themes in The Handmaid's Tale (bear with us - it makes sense) and they also discuss the realities of finding new rhythms while holding space for exploring a new way of life.
It's fun, it's a little random, and it just might tide you over until Season 4 kicks off for real on October 24.
Enjoy!
