Description

http://www.slowyourhome.com/28
Time for another hostful episode and today Ben and I are answering two really excellent listener questions.
The first is from a busy mum who is trying to find time to live a slow life - in spite of the constraints of family, work and life.
The second question is about how best to establish a social network of like-minded people, while not alienating old friends whose lifestyle might be significantly different to our own.
These are such cracking questions and we go back and forth a lot with both, as neither of them has an answer as such. Like so much of slow and simple living, it’s about what works for you rather than what works for ‘everyone’ (whoever ‘everyone’ is).
I’m also loathe to give a one size fits all answer, because they’re so dissatisfying to me. I love that there’s more than one way to approach these issues and endlessly differing points of view.
Enjoy our chat, and don't forget to head over to the Facebook page if you have a question you'd like answered on an upcoming hostful episode.

We live life in the fast lane. We race to keep up with The Joneses. We are over-worked, over-connected and over-stressed, and we compete on how busy and important and sleep-deprived we are. But we don't have to. There is an ever-growing group of people who are saying no to life lived at 110%. They are opting to slow down, simplify, say no and focus on the things that are truly important. Brooke McAlary, founder of SlowYourHome.com, is one of them, and in this podcast she chats to others who have adopted a similar approach to life: simple living, slowing down, opting out, saying no. Learn what makes people change, how life is different, and what their advice is to anyone looking to get out of the fast lane.
