Can you live slow if you’re someone who enjoys being busy? What if you’re a Type A, go-getter? Or someone who prides themselves on setting goals and kicking them every single time?
In today’s episode (the second-last of the season!) Brooke speaks with Elisa, who has spent the past year shedding many layers of her life and self-beliefs, but now finds herself stuck on how to distil the myriad ideas she’s absorbed in to real, lasting change – without reverting to living fast.
Elisa shares the catalyst for making changes in her life before she and Brooke dig in to the question of values and personal identity. As a mum who is emerging from the parenting very young children phase, Elisa also spends some time digging in to the underlying motivations that might be driving her desire to be constantly busy.
Brooke talks about finding contentment in the now, no matter how imperfect, and why the word ‘slow’ might actually be giving Elisa more stress than peace.
Jacki Carr, values coach extraordinaire, then joins Brooke for a juicy discussion on how to uncover our personal values and design our legacy. As a self-confessed go-getter and serial goal kicker, Jacki has some incredible suggestions for Elisa to find pockets of slow intention on even the busiest of days, as well as how to reclaim space for your self amidst the work of parenting.
Enjoy!
