episode 022 - a slow and sexy summer: how to slow down without losing the season (revisit)

This episode makes the case for a slow summer as an actual strategy. Shantel talks through where the collective pressure comes from and why it starts as early as March in London, why summer burnout is so common by the time September hits, and what it looks like to use the season for emotional integration instead of output. There are practical rituals in here too. Morning sun with no phone and no agenda, grounding, a weekly no-content day if you work online, one-to-one catch-ups where you actually listen, slow dinners you can taste. And the reframe that reset how she plans her own summers: farmers don't plant new crops in July, they tend what's already growing.If softness has ever felt like something you have to earn, this one is for you."Almost everything will work again if you unplug it for a few minutes, including you." Anne LamottOne question before you go. Is this summer something you're living, or something you're getting through? DM the word SLOW to @thesagesorority on Instagram with your answer. I read every one.Thinking about coaching? You're running the year at a pace you didn't choose, and the plan is to sort it out in September. September is not going to be quieter. What actually happens is you reach October having spent another six months reacting, with the same decision still sitting there and less of the year left to do anything with it.
