In this solo episode of the Slow Postpartum Podcast, I invite you to slow right down with me.

It’s midsummer here in Devon (and midwinter in the southern hemisphere), a natural midpoint in the year that calls us to pause, reflect, and soften our pace.

This week, I’m sharing a gentle guided meditation you can listen to anytime you need to come back to yourself. It includes calming breathwork, a full body scan, soothing visualisations, and affirmations to remind you that it is not only okay to slow down—it’s essential.

Whether you're a new parent, a birth professional, or simply someone longing for a moment of quiet in a busy world, this meditation is here to support you.

So find a comfortable spot, press play, and permit yourself to rest.

• A welcoming introduction to the idea of seasonal slowing down

• Gentle breathwork to calm your nervous system

• A guided full-body scan for deep relaxation

• Visualisations to create a safe, restful inner space

• Affirmations that honour the power of slowness

• An invitation to choose rest and ease in your everyday life
