Hi there! Just a quick note to let you know this website is no longer updated.
Join me over at The Tortoise for slow-living community, a weekly newsletter and a brand-new podcast.
People over profit with Clinton Schultz
Dr Clinton Schultz is a proud Gamilaroi man, psychologist, husband, dad and founder of Sobah - hands down the best non-alcoholic craft beer you will ever taste. (Seriously. It’s delicious.)
Regenerative living with Meg Berryman
How does does self-care relate to regenerative living? Meg Berryman is here to share why regeneration of the self is vital if we want to help regenerate our families, communities and earth.
Advocacy and care with Hannah Diviney
Hannah Diviney is a leading disability rights advocate, writer, student and Young Australian of the Year nominee, and joins us to dig into the question so many of us have faced this year: “How do I care sustainably?”
Eating for a happier planet with Alexx Stuart
Alexx Stuart is here to talk about food. Not only about making good choices for ourselves and the planet, but also how to let go of our black-and-white perfectionist approach to “doing it right”.
Reclaiming activism with Hannah Moloney
Author, Gardening Australia presenter and activist Hannah Maloney joins Brooke to talk about values, privilege, reclaiming activism, health (including lifting weights!) and lessons learnt during the pandemic.
So this is 40 with Ben McAlary
Season 8 returns with an (emotional) bang. An in-depth interview with Ben. It's a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, always entertaining conversation and we hope you enjoy it.
The CARE book tour goes virtual
Covid can’t rain on this book tour parade because we’re going virtual! Come join one of my upcoming book launch events.
A Deep Dive in to Imposter Syndrome
To round out S7 we dig in to loads of juicy listener questions about imposter syndrome, daily rhythms, cooking and the best non-alcoholic IPA!
Future-steading with Jade Miles
Future-steading as a philosophy includes supporting local producers, living seasonally, reconsidering what ‘enough’ looks like and how to measure success if not by modern, capitalist means.
Book Tour Postponed
Due to the ongoing Covid restrictions and lockdowns in NSW, we’ve had to postpone the book tour. As soon as we know more, we’ll share it with you. Promise!
The reality of zero-waste family life with Anita Vandyke
Anita’s zero-waste philosophy applies not only to food, packaging and the things we own, but also to our time. In order for zero-waste living to be sustainable, it needs to be sustainable for you and your family too.
The evolution of hustle culture with Jacki Carr
Jacki Carr returns to talk about goals, change and the joys of embracing our own brand of weird.
Analog creativity with Jess Davis
During lockdown, Jess Davis started playing with film photography as an analog stand-in for social media. Today we talk about the joys of creativity, why she broke up with her iPhone, what caused her to rekindle that relationship and one of my favourite topics: the commercialisation of ‘slow’.
The impromptu
At no point could I have forseen just how helpful the ideas of slowing down, tilting in to where I need to be, and more recently, the importance of care would prove to be, but man, I am so glad to have been through those lessons. They’ve helped us in more ways than I can count.
Upcoming Events
With the Australian/NZ release of CARE just around the corner, it’s time to talk tour dates!
Optimistic activism with Em Ehlers
We share stories of grappling with the unknown, what it feels like to write a book about hope (or care!) when we’re all out of heart fuel, and why optimistic activism is on both of our minds.
The hostful (with the mostful)
We answer listener questions about sustainable dog ownership, working from home, writing, the upcoming release of Care and how our idea of slow living has evolved over the years. Oh, and we also reveal new intro music!
We’re back! (Kind of)
I’ve tried really hard not to apologise for going MIA in 2020, because it was beyond necessary. But I’m not too proud to admit that A) I’m glad we have the wonderful community of like-minded souls that we do, because I know you get it, and B) I missed this.
Meditation, acceptance and relinquishing control with Kevin Janks
"Trying to control our thoughts is like trying to put a meteor out with a garden hose."
Kevin Janks
Is it too early to look towards a 'new normal'?
“We could find that what we thought of as success is really just excess.”
