    041. Kathrin Smirke: finding stillness on the Mendocino coast & morning moments

    Welcome back to the podcast! I'm so excited to share my conversation with Kathrin Smirke. Kathrin is a designer, a photographer, and she lives on the beautiful Mendocino Coast of Northern California with her husband Brian, their rescued Great Pyrenees, Daisy, and their two adopted kitties, Cobie and Bruno. In this conversation, we dive into the art of slowing down, of listening to the whispers of intuition, and of building a life that nourishes the soul. Kathrin shares how her journey led her away from the fast-paced world of entertainment into the rhythm of nature—living amongst the redwoods, tending to her animals, and immersing herself in creative practices. We explore the balance between the masculine and feminine energies in our lives, the power of trusting our instincts, and the deep ancestral wisdom found in simple, meditative acts like baking, canning, and tea rituals. This episode is an invitation to reflect on what it truly means to cultivate a life of beauty, meaning, and presence. Enjoy! Xo, Brooke Work with me: brookembaldwin.com
