On a cold winter day in 2013 I sat huddled in bed, feeling utterly exhausted. I was pregnant, working full time and chasing around after my 4 year old.
Something had to give. I needed help.
On that day, I googled “how to slow down?”. It might seem like a silly question, one that I should already know the answer to. But I just didn’t.
I had lived this way – fast and furious – for too long. And as I looked around, it appeared that this was the only way to do life. Everybody else was this busy and seemed to cope? Why couldn’t I?
My body, and my mind were at breaking point.
And I’m so glad I googled that simple question because it started my journey towards a slower pace of life.
Maybe you haven’t hit rock bottom yet. But perhaps you’ve had moments where you feel as though you just can’t carry on.
I am here to tell you there is a different way.
You DO NOT have to live life at full speed anymore.

I founded the Simple Slow & Lovely community 4 years ago to provide a space where people who are sick and tired of ‘crazy-busy’ can be inspired to do things differently.
The community has grown far beyond my expectations, proving that this message of going slower is a much needed one in our world.

“I really want to thank you so much for your posts, I send it on to 3 friends around the world 2 of them suffering deeply from depression and a nervous breakdown. The beautiful soul climbing her way back from the breakdown tells me you give her hope and she rereads the posts in her dark times.” ~ Email friend
Along my journey to a slower pace of life I decluttered and invested in self care like never before. I discovered and implemented mindfulness practices that helped tend my frazzled brain and bring back joy and contentment.
Simple Slow & Lovely is intended to be a resource to encourage, inspire and teach the principles of slow living.
