It’s the first Simple Show episode of 2017! Erin Loechner and I chat about living slow—what that really means (as in, not just in an internet buzzword-y way), and why there’s never a one-for-everyone description for slow, simple living.

We talk about both goals and non-goals, how we deal with the pressure to “be” a certain way, and why knowing how you’re made is key to pretty much everything.

Plus, Erin’s new book! Seriously—it’s so pretty.

“Before you tell your life what you intend to do with it, listen for what it intends to do with you.” -Parker Palmer
