Slow Down to Speed Up

Join me, Shawna Krueger, for a solo episode on the power behind slowing down. I am incredibly passionate about this topic because we all know it’s good for us, but why can’t we do it? Relax and let today’s stories sink in, it might be helpful. 

I discuss how you can’t shift up a gear without taking your foot off of the gas pedal, how slowing down does put you behind, and the benefit to leaning into planting and harvesting seasons in our work, creativity and life.
