We live life in the fast lane. We race to keep up with The Joneses. We are over-worked, over-connected and over-stressed, and we compete on how busy and important and sleep-deprived we are. But we don't have to. There is an ever-growing group of people who are saying no to life lived at 110%. They are opting to slow down, simplify, say no and focus on the things that are truly important. Brooke McAlary, founder of SlowYourHome.com, is one of them, and in this podcast she chats to others who have adopted a similar approach to life: simple living, slowing down, opting out, saying no. Learn what makes people change, how life is different, and what their advice is to anyone looking to get out of the fast lane.

Customer Reviews
Calming and just what I need right now!
I love this podcast. I love that it’s not full of annoying ads for products or services. Love the Australian voice (I’m Australian) as I can relate to the people so well. The authors are so sensible and caring. I feel good just listening. The philosophy of Slow Home is exactly what I need right now. I also have the book on my Kindle, which I how I found out about this podcast. This is such a great antidote to commercial media! Thank you.
Thought & Life Provoking
I love this podcast. It gives me hope that I too can make changes needed slowly and at a pace that I can succeed with, without feeling overwhelmed. So much good advice that one goes away with snippets to mull over and act upon and hopefully gradually change the surrounds around us to life & attitude of mindful caring, living and sustainability. Thank you Brooke & Ben 😊
