This is a solo episode where I look back on the conversations and guests of Season 3 and draw out the major tenets I came away with regarding this season’s theme, “Slow Down.”
Slowing Down is not only about pace, but emotion, energy, the intention in movement, gracefulness, cooking, how we possess and use our power and emotions, and connecting to our ancestors.
This episode is a kind of toolbox with some of the best tools I’ve learned to slow down and live more in the moment.
