Slow It Down

The hidden lessons in grief with Kelsey Mulcahy

4 years ago Kelsey Mulcahy tragically lost her beloved fiancé Joseph Day, so on the podcast today we're chatting about how the loss has shaped her into who she is today. In the episode we chat about how grief looks different on everyone, the surprising resilience we all have within us, and the hope and knowledge that things do eventually get a little easier. I'd love to hear how you feel about this episode, and the podcast as a whole.

Living (almost) completely off the grid with Miriam Lancewood

Miriam Lancewood is a truly fascinating woman. Born in a small dutch village, she competed at a high level in pole vaulting when she was young. But in 2010 Miriam and her husband Peter gave up all their worldly posessions to move in to the wild and learn how to survive completely on their own.  In the episode we chat about why she believes everyone should have some basic survival skills, going nearly 10 days without food in Kahurangi National Park, and the terrifying experience of Peter having a heart attack in their extremely remote Bulgarian hut.  I'd love to hear how you feel about this episode, and the podcast as a whole.

Chatting House Cows and Lagom with my Husband
