Does it ever annoy you when people tell you you need to slow down?

Especially when there’s so much to do, and so much you want to do, slowing down can feel like the last thing you need.

Today’s episode explores what slowing down actually means in the body.

Think less retreating from life, more feeling safe enough to actually inhabit it.

We explore:

Why “just relax” isn’t helpful advice
What you’re really seeking when you want to slow down, and a more honest way to get there
