Is there such thing as too slow?

from Tuning In for Slow Living Creatives · host Megan Moran and April Edwards

Watch and Comment HereRecently, I’ve found myself at a crossroads:* Feeling extremely tired (Like falling asleep for the night while putting the kids to bed… multiple days in a row?!… tired)* Craving a quiet life with less pressure* Learning how to live at a slower, more intentional pace* But I feel like I’ve only ever lived my life in burnout cycles…. so while slowing down has felt true to me…I’ve also found myself so scared to burnout again that I’ve been avoiding overworking (maybe to my detriment?)Battling what my body and soul feel is right with an old narrative that ‘it’s wrong.’One MAJOR difference between then and now is that my work fuels me (a factor I often forget) and that my days and time are more intentionally filled than ever. PLUS I’ve been working on integrating the deep work that fuels me throughout my day to day. But the mindset struggle is always real.So when April Edwards asked if I wanted to go live- I knew THIS was the topic for us to talk about.April recently published her book Subtle Resistance and when I read about her burnout story we knew we had to get together and honestly share.So in this conversation we held a deeper discussion about:* our experiences with burnout* if there’s a healthy way to push our limits* how we both want to avoid that hamster wheel* and ultimately, as intentional, slow living moms…. is there such thing as too slow?Love a good deep discussions- view the full archive here.Grab the templates April shared here.
