Hello and welcome to the Slow Home Podcast. This is the podcast all about learning to slow down

0:06.1

and simplify life in a world that is quite hectic and quite complicated sometimes. My name is

0:12.6

Brooke McCallory. Thank you very much for joining us. And my name is Ben McCallory and welcome to
