This week we welcome back listener chats, as Brooke sits down to talk with Xan Holyoak. Xan is a listener of the show, a writer, a single parent and a slow living and nature loving woman. She first reached out to us after the nature experiment last year, and the more Brooke learned about her story, the more she wanted to share Xan’s wisdom with our wider community. So here we go! In today’s chat Xan and Brooke talk about when she first started to slow things down, why she started writing about it on her blog, how her life changed after her husband suddenly passed away in 2015 and how she lives slowly now as a single, working parent. There’s a wonderful thread throughout the conversation of the importance of values, journaling and boundaries, and we hope you enjoy. Questions featured in this episode:  Where did your journey to slow living/simplifying start? Why did you start your blog? Tell us about the way life changed after your husband died in 2015. How do you make everyday work, as a single parent, working mum and living slowly? Let’s talk about our shared love of journaling as a self-care practice. When do you journal?  Looking for more Slow?
