In the last decade since I was a young mother, the pace of motherhood has changed so much. Even for mothers who stay home full-time with their children, there are endless opportunities and distractions available to us through our digital devices. When Sarah realized she was running on the hamster wheel of busyness and distraction, she knew she wanted to make a change. Through her own pursuit of simple, intentional, slow motherhood, Sarah began sharing her journey with other mothers who were longing for the same. If striving and busyness have left you feeling burned out, this episode will inspire you to pursue simplicity and connection in your everyday life.
In this episode, we cover:
What led Sarah from living a fast-paced life to embracing slow motherhood
Managing the balance between living a slow and simple life and pursuing goals in business
Creating a simple slow living bucket list to keep your family centered
A day in the life of an intentional stay-at-home-mom
Embracing intentional connection in a way that fits your unique family
