Living La Dolce Vita: Practical Tips for Slowing Down This Summer

from Fresh Perspectives · host Rachel Lauren

Send us Fan MailI just got back from Italy, and came back with a fresh perspective of my own. Not a dramatic revelation, more like a practice I didn't know I needed. In this episode, I'm talking about la dolce vita: what it actually means, why it felt so foreign to slow down as a New Yorker, and the specific moment over a plate of ravioli in Rome where I finally understood it. I also get honest about how fast that feeling fades when you're back in your routine.In this episode:Why slowing down feels like something we have to earn and why that's worth questioningBeing fully present: how moments change when we pause to enjoy themSavoring small pleasures on purpose: the one thing in your day worth treating as a ritualReleasing the idea that enjoyment has to be earned and what it looks like to actually do that
