Description


Unbelievable though it may seem, today's episode is the final poggie of Season 3. (Time flies when you're having fun!) 

Before Brooke and Ben get in to today's episode and the outstanding listener questions that have been submitted throughout the season, they begin on a bittersweet note as they bid a very fond farewell to two Slow Home team members. 

Once they wipe away their tears and (literally) play Steph and Ryan off in to the sunset, Brooke and Ben dive head-first in to some terrific listener questions. These include:  


Apart from people, what do you most miss about Canada and the US? And what are you most glad to have in Australia?
Is it easier to live slower in Australia or in the US/Canada?
What are you finding challenging in regards to slow living, and what are you doing in response?
What area did you decide to buy and live in, and why did you chose that area?
Were you ever nervous about not being close to the city, not being close to family and instead living in a rural area?
Are you living mortgage free?
Is there a slow way to manage money?
Slow aspirations versus fast career path advice please?
What is your ultimate ’slow’ date night? 
How have you gone re-buying things for the house? Slowly or all at once? 
Have you bought things you gave away when you left for your trip? 
What made Ben choose to go to therapy? 
What are your favourite books of 2019? 
Is Brooke currently writing a book?
What poggies are you currently listening to? 
When will the next season of the podcast start? 


As always, they do their do their best to answer these as honestly as possible (if not always, or ever, briefly) and end up discovering some really interesting things about themselves, their experiences of the past couple of years, and how they're each feeling now.

Season 4 of the poggie will be in your ears late October, and until then, take it slow!

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.
