Podcast Ep. #007 - healthy slowing down tips w/Joanna

In part 2 of our conversation Joanna and I discuss the power of homemaking tasks.

We have found that there is a consistency, a slowness and a beauty to homemaking. These slow activities can be such a unique gift we give to others and ourselves.

So much of what we do an invisible investment in our families, but homemaking is a tangible way to change our environments.

In this episode we discuss:

• the way that homemaking is grounding and slows me down

• changing the way I see the evening dishes

• the irritation of slowing down

• using basic cleaning tasks to be fully present and let our minds rest

• the invisible elements that we invest our time in as moms and teachers

• the why behind we take the time to create homemade meals and a clean home

This episode is part of a longer interview and I will share some clips of our conversation on the blog:

• My Burnout Breakthrough: Embracing Less for a Fuller Life w/Joanna Bischoff

• Why I Write & Developing My Writing Process w/Joanna Bischoff

  {🌟coming soon! 🌟}

It was fun to chat with Joanna and look at things in a different way. Listen in as we discuss how we re-define homemaking and cleaning.
