This week on the podcast, I’m sharing a mantra that’s been helping me through my days the last week or so: slow, simple, less.
As we ease into the summer holidays here, I’ve been noticing how easy it is to carry the busyness of the end of the school year into the first few weeks of summer. But my body and my kids have been wanting something different.
In this episode, I talk about:
• How I’m consciously shifting from that end-of-term frenzy into a slower summer rhythm
• A simple circle ritual I did with my kids to mark the transition into the summer holidays
• The importance of recognising unseen work and emotional labour, especially during summer with kids at home
• How the mantra slow, simple, less helped me navigate a birthday party weekend with presence and ease
• Letting go of excess, in my home, my schedule, and even my thoughts
I share some prompts and practices you can use to invite in more slowness, more simplicity, and more spaciousness, especially if you're feeling the weight of the invisible to-do list or the pressure to keep up during summer.
If you're keen to get started or continue letting go and decluttering in your home, here's something you might find helpful:
