    the tortoise & the hare

    Fast and slow. Young and old. Hard and soft. Open and closed. Real and fake. Hide and seek. Pleasure and pain… Life is full of dualities and extremes and pick-a-sides. But most of our days are spent in the messy middle. 

    the tortoise and the hare is a weekly show from the crew who brought you The Slow Home Podcast (RIP). Each episode is a human-made, homegrown, perfectly imperfect conversation about the either/or of life and the vast grey area in between.

    Because we all contain multitudes. So let’s talk about them.

    Brooke was lucky enough to meet Sheri in person in LA during her book tour, and we’re thrilled we’ve finally had the opportunity to have her on the show.

    3. How do you balance finding joy in the present moment and working towards your big life goals?
    4. Do you think we need to reach a crisis point in order to reevaluate our lives? Or is there a way of manufacturing that awakening without hitting rock bottom?
    5. How did you learn to make ‘no’ a part of your vocabulary?
    6. What can people do to start this process of reevaluation, excavation and reinvention in their own lives?

    Blaire Palmer on rethinking our modern conventions of Work Jul 31, 2019
    Show notes

    One question we get asked a lot at Slow Home HQ is how can we find our passion and make it our work. It’s something so many of us grapple with, which is why we’re so excited to have Blaire Palmer on the show today.

    Blaire is an ex-BBC journalist turned business owner, who under the moniker A Brilliant Gamble works to help people unpick the industrial-age conventions of work and find a fulfilling way forward that works for them.

    In her chat with Brooke, Blaire shares her own story and the shifts she’s made to the way she works, how we can redefine work and the way we do it, the power of bringing humanity to your job, and the brilliant gamble of selling her house and travelling with her daughter for 7 months.

    Questions featured in this episode:

    1. You’ve spent the past few years unpicking the industrial age conventions of work: What are they?
    2. When did you start to question these conventions?
    3. How do we start to shift the system?
    4. How can we redefine what success looks like?
    5. What was the catalyst to shift from working long hours to the way you work now?
    6. What was the call to return and put down roots after travelling?
    7. Did you ever find an approach to balance that worked for you while travelling, and that works for you now?

    She and Brooke talk all things slow fashion: why Katrina got started, how her fashion-fast experiment became her lifestyle, the art of mending, creating systems and networks for thrifting and more.

It’s an incredibly inspiring and practical conversation, and we hope you enjoy!

    Questions featured in this episode:

    1. What did your fashion fast initially look like?
    2. What surprised or challenged you in that first year?

    5. Do you think there was a stigma attached to mending clothes, and do you think it’s shifting?
    6. Where can people get started with slow fashion?

    Meg Berryman on moving beyond wellness Mar 20, 2019
    Show notes

    Platonic sparks fly in today’s episode, when Brooke sits down with Meg Berryman of Beyond Being Well. Meg is a women’s coach, mum, yoga teacher, empowerment educator and fabulous no-BS human. We couldn’t wait to have her on the show to talk about her work and especially the link between making changes for ourselves and making changes for the collective, which is something Brooke has felt herself being pulled toward more and more.

    Meg talks about the journey from wellness to wholeness to igniting social change – a shift from self to collective focus. She touches on the importance of discovering what wellness is to us as individuals, connecting to the body, why we need compassion in the face of patriarchy and capitalism and so much more. This conversation was truly effortless but engaging, and we hope you enjoy!

    Questions featured in this episode:

    1. What does wellness mean to you?

    2. How can people can start to explore what wellness looks like for them?

    3. Do you think it’s a counter-cultural move to fully explore your own wholeness?

    4. Do you find that a lot of people reach the point of wanting to shift their focus from the self to the collective in their explorations of wholeness?

    Rebecca Sullivan on eating local and the power of simple observation Mar 06, 2019
    Show notes

    Today Brooke shares her conversation with the delicious and delightful Rebecca Sullivan. The two first spoke on the podcast back in 2017, and since then Rebecca has published four (!!) books, with another on the way, and moved from an apartment in Adelaide to a closed loop eco-farm in the Clare Valley. There’s just a bit for the two to catch up on, so we thought it was about time!

    Rebecca reflects on the challenges and joys that living on the land have brought so far, how paying attention to nature and slowing down have come hand-in-hand, living with fear, failure and taking risks and the aim of her new work: reconciliation on a plate

    Questions featured in this episode:

    1. What’s the transition been like as you moved to the farm, from theory to reality?
    2. How do you think about your own environmental impact?
    3. What does it practically look like to live in a circular (closed-loop) house?
    4. What was the seed for the idea of Warndu - both the company and the book?

    April Hepokoski on creating a zero-waste, nature-based classroom Feb 27, 2019
    Show notes

    This week Brooke is joined by early-childhood educator April Hepokoski for a fascinating discussion about all things child-led and nature-based learning.

    April is the founder and teacher at The Little Barnyard Preschool in Duluth, Minnesota, where she centres learning around being outside in nature every single day. April also founded a zero-waste living group on her local community, where she shares tips and tricks for living with less waste as well as lobbying the city council to make changes in her town.

    There are so many parallels between slow living and the approach of nature-based learning, and April is a prime example of someone taking action into their own hands in every aspect of her life. We hope you enjoy this inspiring (and practical) chat about learning, nature and grassroots change.

    Questions featured in this episode:

    1. When did you first become interested in zero-waste living?
    2. How did you structure a localised zero-waste living group?
    3. What is the philosophy or mission of The Little Barnyard Preschool?
    4. What caused you to combine child-led learning with nature-based learning?
    5. What does nature-based learning look like on a day-to-day basis?
    6. What do parents say? What benefits and differences do they see?
    7. How can people begin to bring this philosophy into their own home if there are no nature-based learning offerings in their area?
    8. What can educators do to start to bring nature-based learning into their school? Any resources or recommendations on how to start the conversation?
    9. Do you have any tips for bringing zero-waste principles into the classroom?

    Jojo Hogan on why the Slow Postpartum movement is so important Feb 20, 2019
    Show notes

    This week’s Brooke sits down for a heartfelt discussion with Jojo Hogan: founder of the Slow Postpartum movement, yoga teacher, aromatherapist, massage therapist and doula.

    Jojo has been working with expectant mothers for many years, and now specialises as a postpartum doula, providing much needed support to mothers after giving birth. There are so many beautiful intersections between slow living principles and the postpartum care practices that Jojo provides and educates around, and especially considering her own experience as a new mother, Brooke was so excited to have Jojo on the show.

    Brooke and Jojo talk about the pillars of postpartum care that cultures around the world share, the importance of deciding your parenting values before baby arrives, how women can create their own villages to support them after birth, and ways to bring more slow and presence to a stressful time.

    Questions featured in this episode:

    1. When did your own journey of slowing down and simplifying begin? What prompted it?
    2. When did you begin working with new parents?
    3. What does a slow postpartum look like?
    4. What’s something realistic that a new parent can do to bring some slowness into those early days post-birth?
    5. How can we approach the ‘stuff’ that often comes with having a baby with a slower, more conscious mindset?
