    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.

    Latest Episodes:
    Bounce out of bed with Amanda Ewin Feb 23, 2022
    Show notes

    Today’s guest, the effervescent Amanda Ewin, has arrived on the pod at precisely the right time, as so many of us settle in to the year's new normal and (if you're anything like Brooke) the struggles of maintaining those rhythms, goals and rituals.

    In this episode Amanda shares her story of overwhelm, loss, grief, reflection and transformation, and through it all weaves the thread of mornings. First as the overwhelmed mother and business owner who found mornings chaotic, through to the woman who now bounces out of bed, nary a snooze button in sight.

    Amanda and Brooke talk about the process of establishing and revisiting morning rhythms as life changes, as well as the handy notion of “habit stacking” that has allowed Amanda to develop space in her mornings for meditation, movement, breath work and play.

    Amanda also shares her thoughts on ‘the tyranny of the shoulds’ and why redefining success and doing the work to uncover our personal values lies at the heart of any lasting transformation.

    They also discuss:

    • why hitting the snooze button is (usually) a terrible idea

    • the Wim Hof breathing method

    • why both Amanda and Brooke have been afraid of goals in the past

    • why it’s important to understand the difference between dreams and goals

    Enjoy!

    When simple living has to change with Clare Reilly Feb 16, 2022
    Show notes

    Today's episode is, at its heart, about change. And if there’s something we’ve all experienced over the past two years, it’s been change. Specifically for our listeners, many of us find ourselves having to reframe our definition of "simple living" as the world has changed and so too our vision of slow or simple.

    Clare Reilly knows exactly this tension. After advocating a slower, simpler, more local life for many years, everything was turned on its head when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis - a progressive, neurological disease.

    In this conversation Clare and Brooke talk about the process of reframing their definitions of simple living, and what a simpler life looks like for Clare now. (Spoiler alert: there’s no one right answer to this question!)

    As someone who lives with a chronic illness, Clare also discusses how her relationship with rest has changed, and the interlinked roots of productivity and capitalism.

    The conversation also digs into:

    • values (as always, so much of slow living comes back to the question of ‘what matters to me?’)

    • the benefits slow living brings to someone living with chronic illness

    • the role of food in Clare’s vision of simple living

    • the tension that exists between simplicity and sustainability

    • giving ourselves permission to rest even when (or especially when!) we feel the capitalist pressure to be constantly productive.

    Enjoy!

    Practising Simplicity with Jodi Wilson Feb 09, 2022
    Show notes

    Welcome back to another year of the Slow Home Podcast!

    Never before has slow living felt so relevant to so many people, as we grapple with the question of what we want life to look and feel like as we head in to the third year of the pandemic.

    Today's guest is the perfect person to begin this exploration with, as she's spent many years experimenting and, quite literally, practising simplicity.

    Jodi Wilson is an author, risk-averse adventurer, mother, photographer, yoga teacher and all-round thoughtful human, and has recently published her beautiful book, 'Practising Simplicity'.

    In this conversation Brooke and Jodi talk about:

    • letting go - what it means and how to move through the discomfort that comes with it
    • the idea of risk, and how Jodi decided seemingly on a whim to sell up and move her family of six into a caravan for more than 2 years of cross-country travel
    • living with awe at the centre of our lives

    • the importance of small steps in making big change

    • what constitutes bravery

    • how we can all live a life (slightly) less distracted without the need to live long-term in a caravan

    • the role of contentment in our lives.

    Transformation and healing with Rebecca Sullivan Dec 08, 2021
    Show notes

    Friend of the show, author, cook, founder of the Granny Skills movement and co-founder of native food company Warndu, Rebecca Sullivan, returns to the podcast for a wide-ranging, emotional, messy, human and very honest conversation (in other words - there's a content warning on this one!)

    Rebecca and Brooke talk birth stories, post-natal health, navigating trauma, alcohol-free holiday drinks and being an imperfect activist, all through the lens of the past two pandemic years and living with mental illness. It sounds like a drag, but it's an incredibly important, heartfelt, hard-won conversation with plenty of laughs (and only some of them inappropriate).

    So settle in and be prepared to listen to some real talk about women's bodies, birth, transformation and healing. Enjoy!

    People over profit with Dr Clinton Schultz Dec 01, 2021
    Show notes

    In this episode Brooke chats with Dr Clinton Schultz, a proud Gamilaroi man, psychologist, husband, dad and founder of Sobah - hands down the best non-alcoholic craft beer you will ever taste. (Seriously. It’s delicious.)

    They chat about the realities of giving up the booze in Australia and how our deeply ingrained drinking culture can make it difficult. They also dig into the thinking behind Sobah's recent (and very successful) round of equity crowd-funding and how it allows Clinton and his partner Lozen to build a business that is values-aligned rather than one that needs to be purely profit-driven.

    The conversation ranges over family/work boundaries, the healing power of time on country, why Sobah uses native food ingredients in all their brews and collective vs individual thinking.

    Enjoy!
