Today’s Lively Show is a return visit from our very first TLS guest, Erin Loechner!

Erin is a wife, mother to two littles, the writer behind the (mega) blog, DesignForMankind.com, and is the author of the new book, Chasing Slow.

In today’s episode, we cover a huge range of topics including why her quest to slow down her life led to a totally new understanding about why we want what we want, how Erin has grown into a more self-compassionate wife and mother, and the topic of allowing vs. tolerating.

This episode is perfect for anyone looking to listen to an inspiring conversation about life, shifting life desires, judgement vs. allowing, and much more.
