This month marks six years since I relaunched the Slow Stories podcast. I initially conceived the project in the summer of 2018, and it took a minute to find my footing. But throughout its many iterations (including the launch of this newsletter and publication of Slowing), Slow Stories has undoubtedly changed my life in the most nourishing ways—and helped spearhead a conversation about living, working, and creating more intentionally.

In the spirit of slowing down, I’ve been taking a little break from producing the show, but I encourage you to revisit my conversations with luminaries like Kate Baer, Maggie Smith, Lauren Elkin, Gloria Noto, Amy Lin, Katherine May, Ross Gay, Ella Frances Sanders, Suleika Jaouad, and many more.
