Flashback: Finding The Light Again with Janelle Brunton-Rennie

Flashback: Finding The Light Again with Janelle Brunton-Rennie

This episode contains content that maybe distressing to some listeners Another week, another set of tech issues. So this week I've decided to do a little throwback to one of the very first episodes of Slow It Down This episode of Slow It Down is a little heavier than we usually go, but it's an important and inspiring story. Janelle Brunton-Rennie is one of the strongest people I know, and she speaks to me this week about navigating losing a partner and how important resilience is when we hit periods of grief in our life. Grief isn't openly discussed in western culture, and this episode shines a light on what it's like on the inside, and I’m so grateful to be able to share it. Janelle also has some amazing rituals that she has developed to find moments of bliss which she still uses today.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

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.
