Tudor Tips for Modern Burnout — Laura Loney on Calm, Craft, and Christmas

Feeling rushed and over-screened? Author Laura Loney joins me to share Tudor-inspired ways to slow down—from cosy crafts and communal rituals to simple “micro-swaps” you can try this week. We talk about her festive collaboration with illustrator Kathryn Holeman on ’Twas the Night Before Tudor Christmas, and her witty, useful new book In Praise of Tudor (100 ideas to bring Tudor calm to modern chaos).

In this conversation:

• How a Canadian fell for the Tudors, and who hooked her first
• 'Twas the Night Before Christmas - story + Tudor-Christmas primer + activities for families & classrooms
• Creative teamwork with Kathryn Holeman: mood boards, references, division of labour
• Tudor micro-swaps for work, rest, and connection
• Favourite crafts/recipes/games, and one tradition she’d revive today
• What In Praise of Tudor really is
• Writing life: routines, research vs. word count, notebooks vs. digital
• Tudor health & hygiene: what holds up… and what to avoid!
• Quickfire: 3 words for Tudor Christmas, 24 hours in Tudorland, carols, what’s next
• And Anne Boleyn!

Question for you: Which Tudor habit would you try first?
